Oh no. The Samsung Lions lost both their main right field and shortstop in less than five innings.

"Kim Sung-yoon felt uncomfortable on his left side," a Samsung club official said in an away game against KT Wiz in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular season at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 4th. Lee Jae-hyun was also replaced due to discomfort in his right hamstring. We will move to the hospital for examination," he said.

Kim Sung-yoon played one at-bat first and was replaced by Soo-ho during defense in the bottom of the second inning. It was after Lee Kang-min's timely hit. To make matters worse, Lee Jae-hyun left the ground after being replaced by Lee Hae-seung ahead of the defense in the bottom of the third inning.

The departure of the two is a major negative factor for Samsung. Kim Sung-yoon was like a constant fuel for Samsung's lineup, which rarely caught fire in the beginning. He was leading the batting average of 0.400 (10 hits in 25 at-bats) in six games with six RBIs and six runs and an on-base percentage of 0.423 slugging percentage of 0.600 OPS of 1.023.

Lee Jae-hyun was a poor performer with a batting average of 0.105 (2 hits in 19 at-bats) and an OPS of 0.478 in six games, but he was contributing to a solid shortstop defense.

Meanwhile, Samsung formed the lineup of Kim Ji-chan (center fielder), Kim Sung-yoon (right wing), Koo Ja-wook (left wing), Lewin Diaz (first baseman), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman), Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), and Kang Min-ho (catcher). The starting pitcher is Choi Won-tae.

Against this, KT consisted of Choi Won-joon (center fielder), Kim Hyun-soo (designated hitter), Ahn Hyun-min (right wing), Sam Hilliard (left wing), Jang Sung-woo (fosu), Kim Sang-soo (second baseman), Oh Yoon-seok (first baseman), Ryu Hyun-in (third baseman), and Lee Kang-min (striker). The starting pitcher is Soh Hyung-joon.
