What would Samsung think about while watching Cardinez.

His 400-run pace fell to the 300-run mark. Still, it's scary. Each pitcher I meet can't even compete head-to-head. It is no exaggeration to say that it is indeed `Cardines of fear.'

Kiwoom Heroes hit 'Lotto' Cadines, who hit the bottom with the controversy over 'eat and run', is showing tremendous momentum. He started the game against SSG Landers at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 29th, hitting a solo shot and a timely hit, recording two hits and two RBIs.

a batting average of .440 in seven games. He has three home runs and 16 RBIs. RBI in seven consecutive games since the opening. He can set a new KBO league record with just one RBI in the match against SSG on the 30th. He has already achieved consecutive RBI ties.

He swept 12 RBIs in the opening four games. He had a 432 RBI pace in 144 games. Coach Hong Won-ki, who heard this, laughed and said "The batter's batting sense can't be hot forever", but Cardinez's scary batting sense doesn't know how to break. After seven games, it dropped to 329 RBIs, but it is still incredible.

I'm writing a really dramatic twist drama. He made his KBO league debut last year by joining the Samsung Lions as a substitute. As soon as he came, he was praised for his tremendous hit 'The player who will give Samsung the championship' However, my side hurt, which led to the controversy over 'Tae-Tae-Tae-Woo. The player said he was sick, but coach Park Jin-man and the club's comment said, `There is no problem with the physical examination, but he can't run.' Of course, all arrows were bound to go to the player.

He was forced out in disgrace. I thought I'd never see you in the KBO League again. But what's wrong with this. Kiwoom wanted Cardinez. Even before coming to Samsung, he recognized that he was an excellent hitter with power and skill. We looked closely at the problems at Samsung and concluded that he failed to display his skills due to injuries. We have checked again and again whether all the injured areas have recovered and how we will play if we come back to KBO.

It was a good match. Kiwoom needed two foreign hitters, including Puig and Cadines. I couldn't spend a lot of money. Cardinez was not in a situation where money was important. I wanted to recover my reputation somehow. Therefore, he stepped back on Korean soil under the condition of a total of $600,000 (about 880 million won) and the minimum amount of foreign players in the league. And it's a sign of a big hit. Since the introduction of the foreign player system, it has properly smelled like a player with the best cost-effectiveness ever.

Samsung re-signed Diaz, who was chosen in place of Cardinez. Diaz is also a good hitter, but in terms of his current pace, Cardinez is overwhelming. If you used Daegu Samsung Lions Park, where home runs are easy, as your home, you wonder what kind of record will be if you play a healthy season. Samsung was able to embrace such a scary hitter, but it became a 'bad actor' due to unexpected things. What is Samsung thinking about when they see Cardinez's performance.
