Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man is closely watching the physical condition of “Ace” Won Tae-in.

Ahead of the away game against the NC Dinos of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League at Changwon NC Park on the 15th, head coach Park Jin-man said of Won Tae-in, who was the starting pitcher the previous day, “It’s better than yesterday, but I think I’ll have to play catch and check my physical condition tomorrow.”메이저놀이터

Won Tae-in, who started the game against the Daegu kt Wiz on the 14th, recorded six hits, one home run, one out, six strikeouts, and four runs (three earned runs) in six innings. He pitched quality start (pitching less than three earned runs in six innings) and gave Samsung a 10-4 victory.

Won Tae-in went through ups and downs before becoming a winning pitcher. He sprained his ankle in the process of handling Jang Jun-won’s bunt with one out and runners on first and third bases in the second inning. His ankle had no problem pitching continuously, but he had to fight a tough fight on the mound due to pain in his right finger.

Director Park Jin-man said, “I think my ankle is okay. Thumbs that felt convulsions should be checked for sure. Still, he threw it until the sixth inning. If I take a day off and throw the ball, I think I can know the condition,” he said, expressing concern about Won Tae-in’s physical condition.

Another injured man, Oh Jae-il, was also reported. Oh Jae-il was diagnosed with fine hamstring damage. Coach Park Jin-man said, “Oh Jae-il has a thigh injury, so it’s impossible to play. We need to wait and see how it goes. He said there was no pain in hitting in place. I think I can put him in as a pinch hitter as early as next week. I will continue to check.”

Meanwhile, Samsung organized the lineup in the order of Kim Hyun-joon (center fielder), Kim Sung-yoon (right fielder), Koo Ja-wook (left fielder), Kang Min-ho (catcher), Jose Pirella (designated hitter), Ryu Ji-hyuk (third baseman), Lee Jae-hyun ( shortstop), Yoon Jung-bin (first baseman) and Kim Ho-jae (2nd baseman).

The starting pitcher is David Buchanan. Buchanan had a good performance with 5 wins, 3 losses, and a 2.65 ERA in 12 games against NC in the KBO League.
