It was a lucky escape for the Samsung Lions. Kim Young-woong (23), an infielder who fell during defensive play the previous day (23rd) and expressed pain, will start normally.
Samsung revealed its starting lineup for the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular season away game against LG Twins to be held at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 24th.
On this day, Samsung constructed its lineup with Kim Sung-yoon (center fielder), Gu Ja-wook (left fielder), Park Seung-kyu (right fielder), Lewin Diaz (first baseman), Choi Hyung-woo (designated hitter), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman), Kim Do-hwan (catcher), and Yang Woo-hyun (shortstop). The starting pitcher is Jack O'Clock.
In response, LG constructed its lineup with Song Chan-ui (right fielder), Park Hae-min (center fielder), Austin Dean (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Moon Jung-bin (first baseman), Park Dong-won (catcher), Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop), Gu Bon-hyeok (second baseman), and Moon Sung-ju (left fielder). The starting pitcher is Anders Tollhurst.
Facing LG's ace Tollhurst, Samsung strengthened its lineup by bringing Choi Hyung-woo back as the designated hitter. Kim Young-woong, who fell heavily while attempting to field a ground ball hit by Moon Sung-ju during defensive play in the bottom of the seventh inning the previous day, also started normally at third base, taking a sigh of relief.
This was his first game since returning to the first division 73 days after suffering two hamstring injuries earlier this year. Since then, Kim Young-woong has started normally and confirmed his normal condition by taking the field defensively on this day as well. Instead, he started at third base, his original position, rather than at shortstop, where he moves frequently, to minimize the risk of injury. Yang Woo-hyun takes his place at shortstop.
