"The weather is very warm today. That's a relief. How about a doubleheader. Our pitcher needs to throw well."

The national shortstop's face was full of smiles. It welcomed the hot weather in the middle of May.

The Samsung Lions will play a doubleheader with the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 17th.




Samsung coach Park Jin-man, who met him before the game, smiled broadly, saying, "(The weather suits Danny) Reyes well." Reyes was expected to be the starter the day before, but he will start the first leg of the day as the doubleheader progresses due to rain.

"It might have been a little ambiguous if we played yesterday. Reyes is a bit overcast, and it doesn't go well with drizzly weather. It's a doubleheader, so it's a bit of a burden, but considering Reyes, it's better to go out today. Expectations are rising."

Choi Won-tae is preparing to select the second game. Director Park Jin-man said "We go in the right direction. If it's not an injury issue, it's better to go right in time."




Samsung succeeded in winning against KT Wiz in the weekend series in Pohang, overcoming its past eight consecutive losses and setting a turning point.

Director Park Jin-man said "It was a little difficult during the losing streak. But the mood changed a lot during the "Winning" series"I hit the floor once, so all I have to do is go up. The team atmosphere has brightened up a lot. So maybe there will be better results in the future."

Samsung, which uses Lions Park, is a team that hits hard. His explosive power stands out as he ranks second in the team batting average (No. 1 Lotte) and No. 1 in the OPS (0.784).

On the other hand, in the case of pitchers, both starters and relievers are in the middle. The downside is that there are many ups and downs.

Samsung will face Koo Ja-wook (designated hitter), Kim Sung-yoon (center fielder), Kang Min-ho (catcher), Diaz (first base), Kim Young-woong (third base), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second base), Kim Heon-gon (left wing), Lee Sung-kyu (right wing) and Lee Jae-hyun (striker). The starting pitcher is Reyes.
