Park Min-woo, who has difficulty hitting due to shoulder discomfort, was excluded from the starting lineup in the game on the 4th following the game on the 3rd. NC manager Kang In-kwon said about Park Min-woo's absence for two consecutive days in the "2024 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League" match against the LG Twins at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 4th, "I think he has not recovered yet," adding, "I remember taking it out of the entry once last year. There is a place where he is constantly sick, and he has been reinforcing and receiving treatment throughout the winter, but he seems to get better and then getting worse as the game continues."

He is still checking the status every day, rather than excluding entries. "We will have to wait and see. If it takes longer, I will think about adjusting the situation," said Kang In-kwon, the coach.

As for Choi, who replaced Park as the first batter and second baseman for two consecutive days, he said, "I think he performed better than I expected. I highly appreciate that because he is a player who has a passion for baseball." Choi performed two hits and one walk from four times at bat on Saturday.

Choi Jung-won (2nd baseman), Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder), Son Ah-seop (designated hitter), Matt Davison (1st baseman), Park Gun-woo (right fielder), Seo Ho-cheol (3rd baseman), Kim Sung-wook (center fielder), Kim Hyung-joon (catcher), Kim Joo-won (striker), starting pitcher Kim Si-hoon

• What did you think of starting pitcher Lee Jae-hak's pitching on the 3rd (four runs and one earned run in five innings).

"I was more positive than I was on the first pitch (two runs allowed in four ⅓ innings against Kiwoom on March 27). I lost four runs due to errors, so I felt more stable in the first game than in the first game." He used various pitches in the first game, but yesterday he reduced the weight of cutters and pitched fast and two-pitch changeups (a total of 87 pitches, 43 changeups, 40 fastballs, and four cutters). "I think to start the game in the long run, why don't we throw as many pitches?"

• Kim Joo-won is struggling at the beginning of the season (nine games batting average of 0.138).

"I think there was a change in batting and the top was 'cool zone' (weak place)', but I don't think I can adapt to it in ABS zone. I think it will get better as the game goes on. I think it's something I have to overcome myself. I just hope I don't get too depressed."

• Is it better to keep going to the game when I'm in a slump or do you think it's better to go out once.

"It's my personal opinion, but I think it's better for young players to give them a little more opportunity and go through the process of batting while establishing their thoughts at bat. For players with annual leave, I think it's better to take a break than to go to the game after checking their conditions that day."

• How did LG starter Detrick Nence analyze it.

"I've played in a camp practice game once. I think the players are familiar with it (March 1 in the Arizona spring camp practice game, Ence allowed five hits, one walk, three strikeouts and three runs in three innings)."
