Samsung Lions top hitter Kim Ji-chan was replaced after two at-bats due to sudden dizziness during the game.

Kim Ji-chan started as the No. 1 center fielder against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 23rd, but was replaced by Kim Heon-gon in defense at the bottom of the second inning after playing his second at-bat in the top of the second inning.

An official from the Samsung team explained, `As I felt dizzy temporarily, I was replaced with a player protection car.'

Kim Ji-chan got on base with a pitcher's infield hit against Hanwha starter Barria in his first at-bat in the top of the first inning, and then homered on Kang Min-ho's direct double to the fence after two outs and scored the first run.

In the top of the second inning with two outs and runners on the first and second bases with a 1-0 lead, he struck out swinging on a slider after a full count match.

As Kim Ji-chan suddenly fell out, the Samsung outfield had to move as a whole.

Kim Hun-gon, a new player, changed his defensive position to left field, right fielder Kim Hyun-joon to center field guarded by Kim Ji-chan, and left fielder Kadenas to right field.

In July, Kim Ji-chan posted a high batting average of 0.363 until this day, raising his batting average for the season to .300. While hitting in the last four consecutive games, sudden dizziness caused concern.
