Coincidentally, the first game of this season of foreign hitter Ruben Cardinez, who nestled in Kiwoom last winter, is against Samsung.

Kadinez played for Samsung last year. After the first half of the season, he joined the KBO League as a substitute for David McKinnon, a former foreign hitter.

Wearing the Samsung uniform, he hit hard with a batting average of 0.348 with two homers and five RBIs in six games. However, he has not been able to play since late July due to back pain. Although he said he was fine at the checkup, he was unable to play. At the match against Hanwha on August 6, he played as a pinch hitter, only to return with strikeouts, and displayed sloppy defense as well. Controversy arose over his poor performance, and Samsung ended up breaking up with Cardinez.

During the off-season, Kiwoom, who decided to form a team with two foreign hitters, was interested in Cardinez. Kiwoom confirmed that Cardinez had a fine damage to his side at the time. After completing treatment and confirming that neither side nor waist was significant, he decided to recruit him. He also changed his registration name from "Cadenas" last season to "Cadenas."

Cardinez has adapted well enough to give advice to Korean hitters at Kiwoom, raising expectations. In nine exhibition games, he finished preheating with eight hits (0.308) from 26 times at bat and one homerun and three RBIs.

However, Samsung fans can get a bad look at it.

Cardinez is said to be bracing himself to some extent. "We have already finished the talks in the U.S., the venue of the first spring camp," Kiwoom coach Hong Won-ki said. "We have to prove ourselves. As he did not intend it, Cardinez also said he would not care whether it was booing or cheering."

Samsung also has a player facing its former team. Samsung's foreign pitcher Ariel Furado, who will start on the day, was the starting pitcher for Kiwoom last year.

"In the course of the season, we have to meet again one day and we have to play a fair game," Hong said. "I hope you don't get too conscious. I hope you focus only on the game and don't expand your interpretation. It's just one game, and I think we can have a (normal) game."
