KBO decided to cancel the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League Doosan Bears and Lotte Giants game, which was scheduled to be played at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul from 6:30 p.m. on the 13th.
Heavy rain poured down on Jamsil Stadium one hour before the opening of the game, making the progress of the game all the more uncertain. It was all the more surprising because there was not a drop of rain when the players of both teams were training on the ground. Waterproofing materials have been installed around the mound and home plate. However, it was not enough to cover the large amount of rain.
On this day, Doosan announced foreign pitcher Jordan Balazovic as its starting pitcher, and Lotte decided to put left-hander Kim Jin-wook as its starting pitcher.
The two teams had already announced the order of starting batters. Doosan placed Jeong Su-bin (center fielder), Kang Seung-ho (second baseman), Jarod Young (right fielder), Yang Eui-ji (catcher), Yang Seok-hwan (first baseman), Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter), Heo Kyung-min (third baseman), Jeon Min-jae (striker), and Lee Yoo-chan (left fielder) in the starting lineup, while Lotte placed Hwang Seong-bin (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Victor Reyes (left fielder), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Noh Jin-hyuk (third baseman), Park Seung-wook (striker) and Son Sung-bin (catcher) in the first to ninth order. However, their showdown did not take place in the end due to heavy rain.
The two teams will have a showdown at Jamsil Stadium from 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday without changing their starting pitchers. Doosan will push ahead with Balazovic as its starting pitcher on Wednesday, while Lotte will push ahead with Kim Jin-wook as well.
Meanwhile, games that were canceled due to rain will be scheduled later. The KBO has confirmed the league schedule until August 29, and plans to announce the remaining games soon.
