Gu Ja-wook feels regretful
Samsung Lions’ central hitter Koo Ja-wook (31) was removed from the first-team roster due to injury.
A Samsung official said on the 21st ahead of the 2024 professional baseball home game against the Lotte Giants at Daegu Samsung Lions Park, “Koo Ja-wook was hit in the left calf by a pitch thrown by opposing starting pitcher Lee In-bok in the game against Lotte yesterday, and was diagnosed with a calf contusion after a detailed examination after the game.” He added, “He currently has accumulated blood and needs about two weeks to recover.”
Koo Ja-wook had a great season with a batting average of .305, 20 home runs, and 71 RBIs in 90 games, and he was a key player as the team captain.
“Infielder Ryu Ji-hyeok will serve as interim captain in place of Koo Ja-wook,” the official said.
On this day, Samsung called up outfielder Kim Jae-hyeok to the first team instead of Koo Ja-wook. 파워볼사이트
