The "Moon Man" in 2025 is Im Jong-chan. Manager Kim Kyung-moon picked him as the starting right fielder after much consideration and gave him the opportunity to start from the opening game. However, he did not seem to have gotten a passing score in "fighting" performance. He struck out two from two times at bat, and replaced substitute hitter. However, Im Jong-chan proved by defense why he was chosen in the opening game. His strong shoulders, which are rarely seen in the KBO league, stood out.바카라사이트

Coach Kim Kyung-moon started the starting lineup in the order of Kim Tae-yeon (left fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (designated hitter), Esteban Floral-Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-seong (first baseman), An Chi-hong (second baseman), Lim Jong-chan (right fielder), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher) and Shim Woo-jun (striker) at the opening game on Tuesday. "It is the same as the last game of the exhibition game (against Samsung on the 17th)," he said in a briefing before the game.

Coach Kim Kyung-moon, who usually fills the starting lineup after carefully examining the training before the game, has prepared for the opening game. When asked why, he replied, "Today's first lineup is important, but we need to see more games to win when the players play well anyway. As the opponent team's starting pitcher is on the left side, we need to see how the left-handed hitters fight."

The players in this category are Moon Hyun-bin and Lim Jong-chan. Moon Hyun-bin had fewer chances to play in the opening game last year compared to his debut season, but he took on the important role of second batter to select the starting pitcher again. Lim is on the verge of moving on to the starting lineup from unfinished business. So far, 138 games have been played in the first team for four seasons, and Kim Kyung-moon has been selected as the starting lineup this year.

Moon already played as a starting member in 2023, his debut season, but Im Jong-chan is different from him. "Im Jong-chan is going to play today. I have a lot of thoughts before that (before deciding on the main player), but if I use it, those players will play a lot. I don't like to take it out and put it in. Unless something big goes wrong, those players will play. Still, I don't want to be told that we are weak anywhere else. Players need to be strong on the spot. I'm going to keep sending him out and see him fight (in the game)," coach Kim Kyung-moon said.

However, Im Jong-chan did not seem to meet Kim Kyung-moon's expectations when attacking. After striking out twice in the third and fifth innings, he was replaced by Hwang Young-mook, a pinch hitter, with one out and one on the first base in the seventh inning. Hwang lived up to the moon's expectations by hitting a timely double to tie the game at the time of being dragged 1-2.

Im Jong-chan instead qualified as the main right fielder in defense. The home throw that Hanwha lost for the second time was impressive. Im Jong-chan caught Bae Jeong-dae's fly ball to right field with runners on third and one out in an uncomfortable position. He seemed not to be in a position to make a strong throw to home. Nevertheless, he threw strongly and accurately to catcher Choi Jae-hoon on one-bound basis. Moon Sang-cheol, who started at third base, almost got out. He was not out, but his shoulder elicited exclamation.
