Samsung excluded pitcher Ariel Furado and outfielder Park Seung-kyu from the entry ahead of the game against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 31st.
Furado went 13-8 with a 2.57 ERA in 26 games this season. He showed excellent stability in 20 games, pitching quality starts (more than 6 innings and less than 3 earned runs). In the match against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on the 30th, he recorded two hits, three walks, and three strikeouts in seven innings.
After the game, Samsung coach Park Jin-man "Even after the start, the player induced a double play in every crisis and defended well without allowing a run." In particular, he was responsible for up to seven innings and was burdened by the recent increase in the proportion of bullpen pitchers' innings, but I think he showed his team's ace by blocking well until seven innings" he said. However, the removal from the entry left a gap of at least 10 days.
Park Seung-gyu injured his right finger after being hit by a dune in the game on the 30th. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Hanwha pitcher Jung Woo-joo's fifth fastball headed toward his body and hit Park Seung-gyu's finger. Park Seung-gyu was replaced by Hong Hyun-bin as a pinch runner.
A Samsung official said on the 31st that "Park Seung-gyu heard a crushed fracture of his right thumb yesterday (30th) as a result of examination at a hospital in Daejeon. On Monday, a hospital in Daegu will decide whether to operate or not after further medical treatment.'
Park Seung-kyu, who joined Samsung in the second round of the rookie draft in 2019 (82nd overall), hit .287 with six home runs and five steals (OPS) of 0.797 in 64 games this season.
As they were excluded, Samsung registered outfielder Lee Sung-kyu and left-hander Lee Jae-ik.
In 48 games this season, Lee Sung-kyu hit 165, with three homers and two steals, with an OPS (long hitting percentage + on-base percentage) of 0.620.
Lee Jae-ik has no earned run in three games this season and pitched two innings.
