The Hanwha Eagles are set to face the Lotte Giants today in the second game of their mid-week series, with a lineup change seeing Moon Hyun-bin shift to left field. This tactical adjustment comes after a disappointing 3-9 loss to the Giants in the previous game, where the Eagles' pitching staff faltered significantly.
Moon Hyun-bin, who had been playing center field, will now occupy the left field position.
