The winner of Samsung's outfield for the 2025 season has not been decided. Left fielder Gu Ja-wook (32) and center fielder Kim Ji-chan (24) are certain. Up to five players will compete for a spot in the right field.토토사이트
Veteran Kim Hun-gon (37) is the most advanced in the competition. Kim played in 117 games last year and hit a batting average of 0.302 and nine homers, leading his team to the runner-up finish in the Korean Series. He was on the verge of retirement due to injury and sluggishness between 2022-2023, but he made a free agent contract worth 600 million won (600,000 U.S. dollars) for two years this year after making a triumphant comeback last year. In exhibition games, he has been steadily starting as the second batter and right fielder, increasing his batting performance.
Young players are challenging themselves, however. Yoon Jeong-bin (26), a left-handed batter who opened his eyes to long balls last year, is also targeting the main right field to detect hosiery. Yoon hit seven arches in 68 games last season. He garnered all of his home runs from right-handed pitchers. He also hit 0.304 against right-handed pitchers last year. If the starting pitcher of the opposing team is right-handed, he is highly valuable as a platoon system agent.
Kim Seong-yoon (aged 26) who returned from injury will also try again as the main outfielder. Kim has jumped to the starting lineup in 2023 by banking on his sophisticated hitting and fast feet, and has even been selected as a member of the national team (2023 Asian Professional Baseball Championship). However, he lost his position in May last year when he was out of the lineup for a long time due to ligament damage in his right knee. Having been conscious of hitting long balls, Kim has been focusing on accurate hitting this season.
Hong Hyun-bin (28) has also emerged as a dark horse. He wore the Samsung uniform after being released by KT Wiz after the last season, and he stood out day after day in the spring camp and exhibition games. He is highly likely to enter the opening entry. Hong, who has the ability to carry out operations and quick feet, played as a troubleshooter by posting two hits and five RBIs including a grand slam in an exhibition game against the Doosan Bears on last Wednesday. Hong is considered a backup to the center field, but he is also not awkward to defend corners.
Lee Seong-gyu (32), who hit 22 home runs last year in full bloom, is also preparing to return from injury around April. Park Seung-gyu (25) and Kim Jae-hyuk (26), who were discharged from the military, are also seeking a seat. Each player has different characteristics and offers wide range of uses. Samsung coach Park Jin-man has a happy problem ahead of the opening of the regular season.
