Kang Baek-ho started the Futures League game against Sangmu in Mungyeong on the 26th and recorded two hits (one home run) in four at-bats and three RBIs.
Kang Baek-ho struck out swinging in his first match against Sangmu starter Lee Jung-yong in the top of the first inning, but in the top of the third inning, he pulled his second pitch and fired a two-run shot over the right fence. In the top of the fifth inning, he was out with a fly to the third baseman in the third meeting with two outs and a runner on the first base.
In the top of the seventh inning, he hit a double to right-center off Sangmu's third pitcher Kim Dong-hyuk to add an RBI. In the top of the eighth inning, he replaced Jung Young-woong as a pinch hitter with one out and runners on first and second bases.
Kang Baek-ho was excluded from the first-team entry on the 19th due to a sprained right abdominal muscle and received treatment, and he had one hit in three at-bats in his first game against Sangmu on the 25th. He hit a ball so strong that the batting speed reached 178km, indicating that there was no problem with his body at all.
After the game, Kang tried to hit fast balls as it was his first real gameIt's fortunate that there is no pain and overall it's okay after swinging. I will continue to play in the game and improve my condition."
In the second game, he hit a home run and a double to show that his physical condition as well as his hitting sense is very good. He went 3 for 7 with one homer and three RBIs in two days. However, we still have to wait a few more days to reach the first team. He can return to the first division against the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on April 29.
Kang Baek-ho, who will become an FA at the end of this season, is considered the biggest FA fish. But his early performance was not very good. In 21 games, he had a batting average of 264 (23 hits in 87 at-bats) with three home runs and 10 RBIs. I wonder what Kang Baek-ho, who has been rested due to injury, will look like after returning to the first team.
