The game between Samsung and Doosan at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 1st, Samsung Lee Jae-hyun and Kim Young-woong are encouraged by Captain Koo Ja-wook after catching Doosan's Kim Jae-hwan's fly ball in the bottom of the 7th inning. Jamsil= Reporter's wook@sportschosun.com/2025.07.01/

The Samsung Lions set up a lineup of eight left-handed hitters.

Samsung placed left-handed hitters from No. 1 to No. 8 in the game against the Doosan Bears in the KBO League in the 2025 season, which will be held in Jamsil on the 3rd.

Samsung made batting order with Kim Ji-chan (center fielder), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman), Kim Sung-yoon (right wing), Diaz (first baseman), Koo Ja-wook (designated hitter), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Kim Tae-hoon (left wing), Kim Jae-sung (possession), and Yang Yang-geun (striker).

No. 9 shortstop Yang Yang-geun is the only right-handed hitter.

Kim Sung-yoon, who ranks second in the league in batting average, was also excluded. Kim Sung-yoon hit .343 in 64 games. Before the game on the 2nd, Kim Sung-yoon was the No. 1 hit. He went 0-for-3 and went down to second place.

Doosan's starter is right-handed pitcher Kwak Bin. He has two wins and two losses with a 5.67 ERA in five games this year. Kwak Bin's hit rate against right-handed hitters is low at 0.196, but it is high at 0.346 for left-handed hitters. There is a big difference.

Samsung manager Park Jin-man "We appointed all the left-handed batters available for the lineup. First of all, I prepared such a strategy" he said.

Koo Ja-wook was sent back as the opponent often avoided the match with Diaz.

Coach Park Jin-man said, `The player who will support Diaz is Koo Ja-wook. In the current situation, the best card to support Diaz is Koo Ja-wook.

Kim Young-woong is also in good condition after visiting the second division. Coach Park Jin-man said "It's much better than before I went to the second division. I'm looking forward to gradually showing the performance I showed last year."
