"You're the type to swing hard...."

Kim Young-woong (22, Samsung Lions) started as the seventh batter and third baseman in a home game against the Lotte Giants at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 19th and hit a home run at his first at-bat.

Before the game, Kim Young-woong had a batting average of 256 with three home runs and 14 RBIs in 22 games.




The batting pace has dropped sharply recently. He hit only 11.18 percent in 10 games, and failed to make the starting lineup in the match against Lotte on the 18th due to anxiety. He played as a substitute in the middle of the game and played one at-bat.

While he was listed in the starting lineup again, Samsung coach Park Jin-man said, "He had a strong sense of confidence in the game on the 18th. If baseball doesn't work well, your body aches, too. In particular, (Kim) Young-woong is the type to swing wildly. If the ball goes out, it's okay, but if it doesn't work, it's a foul, so it hurts."

At the same time, he hoped to revive in his home stadium, which is 'Batter Friendly'. Coach Park said, `I hope one hit gets caught in the bat. It's not easy to get caught these days." "Hero did a lot of good things at Lions Park. I think I should look forward to today's performance" he said.




Coach Park's expectations have become a reality since his first at-bat. Kim Young-woong, who came out as a leadoff hitter in the bottom of the second inning with a 2-0 lead, pulled the fifth slider into his body in 3B1S and crossed the right fence. It is the first home run in 15 days since the match against Hanwha on the 4th and the fourth home run of the season.

Along with Kim Young-woong's home run, Samsung's offensive blood was also properly penetrated. Lee Byung-hun went out with a hit ball, and Shim Jae-hoon's sacrifice bunt made it one out and second base. Since then, Lee Jae-hyun and Kim Sung-yoon's hits and Koo Ja-wook's three-run home runs have widened the score to 7-0.

After Park Byung-ho went out due to a third baseman error, even Lee Chang-yong walked to get on base, and Lotte eventually replaced the pitcher.




He lowered Kim Jin-wook and came up Park Jin. Samsung's long attack in the bottom of the second inning ended as Park Jin treated Kim Heon-gon with a double play.
