Will Kiwoom Heroes Ruben Cardinez (28), who shook off his injury and entered the game smoothly, win his first victory in the opening game against the "Friendly Team" Samsung Lions.카지노사이트
Kiwoom said, "Puig and Cardinez played their first live batting training against fellow pitchers such as Joo Seung-woo, Lee Kang-joon and Son Hyun-ki on the 6th local time." "Cardinez showed a stable hit based on his accurate contact ability," he said, revealing that Cardinez's preparations for the season are going smoothly.
The announcement by Kiwoom in November last year raised questions from many people. Cardinez had a not-so-beautiful farewell to Samsung last season due to sudden injury and controversy over his poor performance.
Since his debut in the KBO League as a substitute for David MacKinnon in July last year, he hit a 140-meter mega home run just two games after his debut, displaying cool slugging capability. He had a batting average of 0.400 (six hits in 15 at-bats) with two home runs and five RBIs in the three consecutive games against the Lotte Giants (July 19-21). He was completely different from his predecessor MacKinnon, who caused disappointment by hitting only four home runs in 72 games.
However, his relationship with Samsung did not last long. Cardinnes, who was substituted for back pain after swinging at his first batter's box against the KT Wiz on July 26, did not play for 10 days afterward. After striking out as a pinch hitter at the match against Hanwha on Aug. 6, he displayed a rather insincere play in defense and was immediately replaced.
After the game, he was under criticism for failing to do his job. Connor Seibold, a foreign pitcher who was a teammate of the time, said on social media, "(Cardines) is a player who always does his best and an excellent teammate. It is really disappointing how people who supported him can treat him so carelessly these days. He is a great person and deserves to be treated like this. No one should be treated like this. I asked for your consideration and understanding," but public criticism did not change easily.
In the end, Samsung pulled out a sword. It released Cardinez after 35 days and hired a new foreign hitter, Lewin Diaz. Cardinez played only seven games for Samsung, surpassing Scott Van Slick (12 games) of the Doosan Bears in 2018 and setting a record of "leasing the minimum number of games ever" as a substitute for a foreign hitter. Although it was revealed that this happened due to communication problems between the Samsung training part and the field after the season ended, the fact that the separation process between Samsung and Cardinez was not so pleasant remained.
After leaving the Korean stage, Cardinez is called by Kiwoom and takes the KBO stage again. Coincidentally, the first opponent of the regular season is Samsung, the friendly team. Attention is focusing on who will laugh with his first win of the season between Samsung and Cardinez, who will have an awkward reunion from the opening game.
