Samsung Lions infielder Kim Young-woong hit his first groundball of the season.
Kim batted ninth and started at third base for the Samsung Lions against the KT Wiz in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, South Korea, on Saturday.
In the top of the second inning, with his team leading 1-0, Young-woong pulled Benjamin’s five-pitch cut fastball for a big hit at second and third base. KT right fielder Kim Min-hyuk, who failed to catch the ball, collided with the fence and fell to the ground, and as KT’s Yoo Soo-jin was slow to process the hit, Kim rounded second base and sprinted home.메이저놀이터
