Samsung Lions captain Koo Ja-wook will start the fall baseball as the designated hitter.

Koo Ja-wook will start as the third designated hitter in the first wild card game against NC at Daegu Lions Park on the 6th.

Samsung will face the NC Dinos left-hander Koo Chang-mo with the lineup of Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Kim Sung-yoon (right wing), Koo Ja-wook (designated hitter), Diaz (first baseman), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Kang Min-ho (catcher), Kim Ji-chan (middle fielder), Lee Sung-kyu (left wing) and Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman).




The deployment of Koo Ja-wook as a designated hitter is the first safety measure.

Samsung manager Park Jin-man stressed at a briefing before the game, "(Koo Ja-wook) is currently available for defense, but the season will end if the postseason game is injured, so there is a big difference between whether Koo Ja-wook is in the lineup or not." Then "I'm thinking of using it as a designated hitter." There is no big obstacle to defense, but it will change depending on the situation, but I'm trying to focus on hitting."

Lions Park, where the first game is scheduled, has been raining steadily since the morning. Until 11:50 a.m., moderate-intensity rain has not stopped. It is predicted that the game will experience a lull for a while after 1 p.m. The outfield, which is not covered with tarps, will be muddy even after entering the game after maintenance.

the first leg of a tight race. Hustle play can lead to injury. It's not even 100% complete.




NC, which has no tomorrow, is likely to be thrown by another left-hander Logan following left-hander Koo Chang-mo.

The left-handed line's performance from No. 2 to No. 5 is important.

Coach Park said, `If you look at our team's scoring route, it is a team that is likely to call in from the center line, so the point will be how much the left-handed line from No. 2 to No. 5 hits left-handed Koo Chang-mo. As a result, it is expected that victory or defeat will depend on it. Koo Ja-wook is a key trio of Samsung's left-handed line along with Diaz Kim Sung-yoon.
