SSG’s Kang Jin-sung meets his parent team a day after his trade.
He visited Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 26th, the day he switched from Doosan to SSG, for an away game against Doosan.
Upon arriving at the ballpark, Kang visited the Doosan camp. The Doosan coaching staff greeted him with a smile as he arrived in his new uniform.
Park Kye-beom, who had spent a lot of time with Doosan, hugged him and said hello.
On the 25th, Doosan made a one-for-one trade for outfielder Kang Jin-sung and SSG right-handed pitcher Kim Jung-woo 메이저사이트.
Kang joined the NC in the fourth round (33rd overall) of the 2012 draft and moved to Doosan as compensation for 2022 free agent Park Geon-woo. In 2020, he played in 121 games for the NC, batting 3-for-9 (122 hits in 395 at-bats) with 12 home runs, contributing to the NC’s overall title.
After moving to Doosan, he struggled last year with a 1-for-6 record in 40 games. This year, he played just three games in the first team (1-for-3) and was mostly in the second team. This trade could be a big turning point for him.
In the previous game, Kang came in as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the ninth inning, trailing 3-8, and was retired on a grounder in front of the second baseman.
