  • The Doosan Bears are considering moving starter Kwak Bin forward in their rotation for a three-game series against the LG Twins.
  • Manager Kim Won-hyong said the adjustment could help Doosan face rival LG and avoid foreign pitcher Avila.
  • The planned rotation also includes Jacklog, Choi Seung-yong, Park Shin-ji and Choi Min-seok.

Doosan Bears may bring their 160-kph ace Kwak Bin forward in the rotation to pursue two benefits at once: beat the LG Twins and avoid facing the “monster” foreign pitcher Avila.

Manager Kim Won-hyong discussed the rotation adjustment on the first day of the month at Jamsil Stadium, before Doosan’s matchup with LG.

If the team followed last week’s starting order, this week’s rotation would have Jacklog, Choi Seung-yong and temporary starter Park Shin-ji against LG over three games. The SSG series would then feature Kwak Bin, Choi Min-seok and Jacklog.

The proposed change would give Doosan a different route through the schedule, with the team weighing whether its hard-throwing ace can create the intended double advantage.

Can the double advantage work?
