Samsung Lions outfielder Koo Ja-wook 메이저놀이터 will start as a designated hitter.
Koo Ja-wook was named the third designated hitter in Game 12 of the season against KT at Daegu Lions Park on the 23rd.
Preventive measures to prevent recurrence of injury.
Before the game, Samsung manager Park Jin-man explained, “Yesterday, I played full time as a right fielder, but I placed him as a designated hitter today because the hamstring is a sensitive part that can be stimulated.”
Koo Ja-wook, who injured his hamstring while defending against Hanwha on June 3, returned on the 4th after a month. He mainly played as a designated hitter until the first half, but in the second half, he started as a right fielder, his original position.
On the 21st, the first game, Daegu KT was replaced by Kim Sung-yoon during the game. The Daegu KT match on the 22nd kept its right fielder position until the end of the game.

Two consecutive right field appearances. In order to prevent the risk of a recurrence in advance, the daily defense burden has been reduced.
It was also considered that Kim Sung-yoon is showing a good trend, hitting his first home run of the season as a substitute in the game on the 21st.
Samsung made the lineup with Kim Hyun-joon (middle), Kim Ji-chan (second base), Koo Ja-wook (ji), Kang Min-ho (po), Pirella (left), Kim Dong-jin (third base), Ryu Ji-hyuk (first base), Kim Sung-yoon (right), and Lee Jae-hyun (yu). The starter is Buchanan, who failed to take the mound due to sudden pain in the first game of the second half.
