Kim Hyun-jun struggled alone throughout the three-game series. Even if I made a big or small change to the batting line, there was no effect. The Samsung Lions ended their 3 consecutive matches during the week with a sweep in a lethargic game.아톰카지노
Samsung lost 1-5 in the home game against Doosan Bears in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Pohang Baseball Stadium on the 6th, and fell into a pit of three consecutive losses. Samsung’s season record was 28 wins and 48 losses (0.368).
Samsung, which only scored 3 and 4 points in the previous two games, set the table setters with Ryu Ji-hyeok and Koo Ja-wook in the last game of the series. Prior to the game on the 5th, Ryu Ji-hyeok, who wore a Samsung uniform in a 1:1 trade, made his first start after the transfer, and Koo Ja-wook was named to the starting lineup for the first time after returning from injury.
Kim Hyeon-joon, who was usually placed at number 1 or 2 after the start of the season, played as the number 3 hitter. Samsung judged that if the table setter got on base, Kim Hyun-joon, who had 3 hits on the 4th and 4 hits on the 5th, would be able to continue his chances, so he brought out a lineup to maximize his offensive power.
As a result, Kim Hyun-joon produced hits on this day as well. He played his part, going 1-for-4, continuing his three-game hitting streak. Kim Hyun-joon’s performance in three consecutive matches during the week was 8 hits in 14 at-bats, a batting average of 0.571 and 1 RBI, and the OPS reached 1.428.
However, only Kim Hyun-jun stood out in the other lineup. Except for Kim Hyun-jun, the number of hits hit by Samsung hitters was only four. The table setters Ryu Ji-hyeok and Koo Ja-wook, who struggled against Doosan starter Brandon Waddell, fell short of expectations as they went 7 at-bats, 1 hit and 1 run. With the exception of the bottom of the 1st inning when Koo Ja-wook hit and Kang Min-ho’s walk gave them a chance to score, and Jose Pirella’s infield hit in the bottom of the 6th where they scored an RBI, Samsung couldn’t even create a situation where they could put pressure on their opponent.
In particular, batters who had to play on the other line, such as Pirella (2 hits in 14 at-bats), Lee Jae-hyun (1 hit in 11 at-bats), Kang Min-ho (2 hits in 10 at-bats), and Kang Han-wool (1 hit in 6 at-bats), were generally sluggish. It was not possible to solve the game only with young players such as Kim Dong-jin and Ryu Seung-min.
On top of that, first baseman Oh Jae-il suffered a left hamstring injury during the game on the 5th and was out of power. It was diagnosed that the left hamstring was torn about 8 cm, and it is expected that it will take about 4 weeks to return. Even considering the All-Star break, Samsung will have to play five games for about a month. During the three consecutive matches, there was no income, and coach Park Jin-man’s worries only got bigger.
