Kim Young-woong (22, Samsung Lions) will return.

It is expected that the opening selection will be possible depending on whether or not the sense of play is restored.

Prior to the exhibition game against KIA held at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 15th, Samsung manager Park Jin-man said "Kim Young-woong is currently batting and is preparing to join Daejeon as early as possible."




After the match against KIA in Gwangju on the 15th and 16th, Samsung will move to Daejeon and play two consecutive games against Hanwha on the 17th and 18th. The opening game of Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon, a new stadium. It is Samsung's last exhibition game ahead of the season opener against Kiwoom at Lions Park in Daegu on the 22nd.

Kim Young-woong stopped training due to rib pain caused by physical collisions during defense training early in Okinawa camp and returned home early on the 22nd of last month, focusing on treatment.

After returning home, he was diagnosed by multiple domestic specialized medical institutions and was diagnosed with bruising (bone bruising) on the right rib. A condition in which bones are bruised due to shock or accumulation of stress. It was the pre-fracture stage, so I needed stability. A situation in which pain or severe fractures could occur during intense exercise. As a result of focusing on rehabilitation training at Gyeongsan Ball Park, the pain disappeared and it became possible to put it into practice.




Initially, it was unclear whether he would join the opening game, but he shortened the time due to rapid recovery. The key is to recover your sense of practice quickly.

Kim Young-woong's addition of 28 home runs last year is expected to be a great help to the ball and the number of times. In particular, Lee Sung-kyu, who had 22 home runs last year, is out due to injury, which can serve as a catalyst for the lower batting line.

When Kim Young-woong returns, Jeon Byung-woo, who has been at third base, will turn into an all-weather infielder.

Jeon Byung-woo is showing off his hot hitting sense by hitting multiple home runs against LG in Daegu on the 14th. As of Tuesday, he had a 0.385 batting average and two home runs in six exhibition games. Coach Park Jin-man said ahead of the match against KIA in Gwangju on the 15th, "'Jeon Byung-woo prepared up to second base.'"He is currently in good condition and has the ability to play several positions except shortstop." He repeatedly confirmed that he is a backup infielder with various uses.
