Will the third game of the season between the Samsung Lions and the KIA Tigers, scheduled to be held at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 22nd, proceed normally?
It has been raining since the morning, moistening the ground. As of 1:45 p.m., rain is pooling on top of the large waterproof tarp covering the infield. Currently, there is light rain, and according to the Korea Meteorological Administration forecast, the chance of precipitation is 60%.
Samsung has announced Choi Won-tae as the starting pitcher. Choi Won-tae has appeared in 4 games this season, recording 2 wins and 1 loss with an earned run average of 6.52. Although he did not become the winning pitcher in the game against KIA on the 2nd, he pitched well, completing 6 innings with 4 hits allowed (1 home run), 3 walks, 9 strikeouts, and 2 earned runs.
The signs of recovery in the batting form of 'Captain' Koo Ja-wook are welcome news. His season batting average is only .228, but he has maintained a good trend with a batting average of .360 (11 hits in 36 at-bats) over the last 10 games.
In response, KIA will present right-hander Kim Do-hyun as the starting pitcher. He has recorded 1 loss in 4 games this season, with an earned run average of 1.93. He pitched well in the game against Samsung on the 2nd, allowing 2 earned runs over 6 innings (5 hits, 1 walk, 7 strikeouts), but ended with no decision.
