Although he was not included in the starting lineup in the exhibition game against the Samsung Lions at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 10th, he wore a catcher mask instead of Ryu Hyun-joon in defense in the bottom of the seventh inning. Jang Seung-hyun, who entered his first at-bat in the eighth inning without a runner, walked to first base after being hit by a ball thrown by Samsung pitcher Kim Tae-hoon. 

With his team leading 6-5, Jang scored a wedge-shaped two-run arch with two outs and a third base in the ninth inning. With Lim Chang-min and full count, he hit the slider (130 kilometers) at the seventh inning, sending it out of the left fence. Doosan beat Samsung 8-5, continuing its winning streak in exhibition games. 

"I really wanted to play baseball," Jang told reporters after the game. He felt how happy he was to be able to play on the ground since he was suspended due to a controversy over his prescription for substitute sleeping pills last year. 

Jang Seung-hyun said, "Last year, I personally went to a training center and trained hard. The coaches helped me a lot at Miyakojima Futures Camp. I hurt my cruciate ligament during the closing camp, and the Futures training part cared a lot. He took good care of me throughout the camp, so I was able to recover 100% of my condition." 

"When I was really in trouble, I talked a lot with (Yang) Ji-hyeong over dinner. I even complained to my friend (Choi) Won-jun that it was difficult, but thank you for taking it well. It was a great help as I joined forces with the players (who were involved in the scandal over proxy prescriptions) during the Miyakojima camp," he said. 

He was concerned about his loss of sense in actual games, but his performance exceeded expectations. "I was worried (about his performance), but during a practice match against the Japanese business team held at the Miyakojima Futures Camp, I felt that he was better than I expected," Jang said. 

Competition for backup catcher to support Yang Eui-ji is also inevitable. "I will continue to do my best to contribute to my team's victory and become the second catcher," Jang said. Regarding this season's goal, he said, "I want to play as many games as possible in the first team, as I couldn't play as many baseball games as I did last year."
