Samsung finished 7th in the final rankings last year with 66 wins, 76 losses and 2 draws (0.465 win rate). It was significant that he showed absolute weakness against certain clubs such as Kiwoom and KT.
It was particularly weak against Kiwoom with 5 wins and 11 losses, and it was greatly pushed back with a win-loss margin of -6 against KT. There is no “if” in baseball, but if Kiwoom and KT hadn’t caught on like this, the fall baseball dream might have come true.
There are no two failures. Samsung launched a natural enemy break mode against Kiwoom and KT, which showed weakness last year. Against Kiwoom, he is recording a win rate of 3 wins, 3 losses, and 50%, and showed overwhelming strength with 3 wins and 0 losses against KT.
Samsung decorated a winning series with 2 wins and 1 loss in 3 consecutive matches during the week against Kiwoom held at Gocheok Sky Dome for 3 days from the 18th of last month. In the game on the 18th, starter Baek Jeong-hyeon gave up 2 runs in 8 innings and defeated Kiwoom 6-4. In the match on the 19th, Kiwoom Ace Woo-jin An, who started, won 9-5 after an extended struggle. The last match on the 20th was 1-6, but it ended happily with 2 wins and 1 loss.
Samsung won a sweep in the first match of the season against KT. In the first game on the 28th, it seemed to collapse because it could not keep an 8-point lead, but eventually won 10-9, and on the 29th and 30th both won by 1 point. 스포츠토토
What is the secret to showing strength against Kiwoom and KT, which were not running last year?
Coach Park Jin-man said, “Last year, we showed weakness against Kiwoom and KT. He has a 50% win rate with Kiwoom and won all 3 consecutive matches with KT. It’s early in the season, but it’s showing a good flow against a team that didn’t have a win last year.”
He added, “The players worked hard, but it seems to have a good effect thanks to the well-prepared power analysis part.”
If injured players such as Kim Jae-seong (catcher), Kim Heon-gon, Kim Dong-yeop, and Kim Hyeon-joon (above infielder) return to play, it seems that Samsung will gain momentum in breaking the seal of its natural enemy.
