Professional baseball Samsung excludes Kim Jae-yoon from PO entry… KIA is the same as Jun PO

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Hyeon-gu = Samsung Lions and KIA Tigers, who will face each other in the professional baseball playoffs (PO, 3 wins out of 5 games), confirmed and announced the roster of participants on the 24th.

Samsung's pitching staff consisted of 13 players, one less than KIA's, excluding closing pitcher Kim Jae-yoon, who was diagnosed with a two-week rest due to pain in his right arm.

Ja-wook Koo, the center hitter who struggled at the end of the season due to thigh muscle pain, returned to the lineup. However, two left-handed pitchers, Lee Seung-hyun, who has a bad back, and Baek Jeong-hyeon, who has a lat injury, are also missing, so there is a possibility that KIA will have difficulty blocking the left-handed batting line.

KIA will face Samsung with the same roster as in the semi-playoffs (June PO).

The first PO match between the two teams will be held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu at 2 p.m. on the 25th.
