Lions turn to rookie to take stranglehold on Korean Series

Daegu — In his 23-year pro career, Samsung Lions catcher Kang Min-ho is seeking his maiden championship memento as he plays through an oblique injury in the Korean Series. The 41-year-old has struggled with pain on his left side, limiting his ability to generate power behind his swings. Despite the discomfort, Kang stated he is doing everything in his power to assist his team.

He is committed to maintaining his position in games and aiding the squad defensively to prevent the opposition from scoring. During batting practice ahead of Game 3 against the KT Wiz in Daegu, Kang admitted to enduring significant pain while attempting to bat but vowed to give his all. He did not provide specifics about the severity of the injury, only noting he has torn a muscle on his left side and declining to disclose more details.

So far, Kang has been 0-for-4 with a strikeout over the first two games, and he has been observed limping.
