New foreign hitter Ruben Cardenas made his debut. The head coach's face was stained with a smile.
The Samsung Lions will play the second game of the weekend series against the Lotte Giants at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 20th. It's the Classic Seeds that the two original teams will face off against each other.
Cardenas had his first professional baseball debut game the day before. One hit in four at-bats, especially a double hit in the third at-bat in the sixth inning.
Samsung coach Park Jin-man, whom we met before the game, said "I think he is a player who will play well if he has more sense of reality. The strength of the ball is good, so it feels different. I was surprised to see his first at-bat (flying ball to center field) fly to the central fence"Since it is a pitcher that all pitchers have never seen before, he/she has a long shot that can help our team if he/she develops his/her adaptability a little more."

Coach Park Jin-man said, `We need some adjustment to the time difference, and we played full-time yesterday, so there is also a level of physical fitness. I wanted to create an atmosphere where I could focus on hitting", he explained. "Your expression is bright and your mind is very positive. I think it will be fast to adapt to Asian baseball. It feels very good, he reiterated.
On this day, Samsung canceled Jeon Byung-woo from the first team and registered Kim Ho-jin instead. the cold point of the 'national stormtroopers' that there was a lack of defense. "I wanted to improve on the basic defensive skills as well as the mistakes," he said. Change of entry to give such a message."
