“Kim Sang-soo is going to start tomorrow if he can.”
It’s been a scary fall for KT, and Kim Sang-soo is back.
KT will take on the LG Twins in the first round of the semifinals at Jamsil Stadium on Friday. KT swept the fifth-place tiebreaker with the SSG Landers and then the wild-card deciding game against the Doosan Bears. The first ever upset of a fifth-place team. The momentum is very good.
And they have reinforcements. Kim Sang-soo, a veteran who has been a stellar offensive and defensive player. Kim suffered a finger injury at the end of the regular season that kept him out of the starting lineup.
“We didn’t score many points in the wild card game,” KT head coach Lee Kang-cheol said ahead of Game 1. We just didn’t connect, but the batting lineup is in good shape overall,” Lee said, adding, ”If Kim Sang-soo recovers and comes back, 파워볼실시간 we will be much better. I think Kim Sang-soo will be able to start tomorrow. I’ll try to use him as much as possible,” he said, signaling his return.
Kim is batting 2-for-7 with six doubles, four home runs and 45 RBIs this season. While his numbers are mediocre, he has been very focused in his chances this season. In the middle of the season, he was even deployed in the cleanup trio.
Oh Yoon-seok has done a good job at second base, but the return of Kim Sang-soo could provide more stability at second base. In order to utilize Oh’s offense, he could be moved to shortstop in place of Shim Woo-joon.
