"I got hit by the batter."

When the Samsung Lions signed a contract renewal for the 2025 season with foreign batter Diaz, it was slightly questionable. He came as a substitute last season and contributed to the team's trip to the Korean Series by showing some slugging power, but it was unclear whether he would be able to show an overwhelming performance in the championship challenge.

After the opening, it was in the atmosphere of a `devastation.' In early April, his batting average fell to the 10% level, and there were even talks of him being kicked out. But is there such a twist. Samsung lost to KT Wiz 2-3 on the 14th, but Diaz was as bright as it was. He hit a home run and even hit a double.




It's already 17 home runs. Unrivaled first place. I thought it would peak with three home runs in a game against the NC Dinos on the 25th and two home runs against the NC Dinos on the 27th, but home runs are constantly popping. From the game against the LG Twins on the 11th to the game against KT on the 13th and the game against KT on the 14th, it is the home run in three consecutive games.

It's not just a home run. He fully supports any pitcher he encounters, and he rolls it up with a cool swing at perfect timing to create a huge hit. It makes the viewer feel cool.

The opposing pitcher is also 'Respect'. KT pitcher So Hyung-joon, who hit a home run by Diaz on the 14th, said "He didn't miss the actual pitch. He is the No. 1 player in home runs and RBIs. He's the best hitter in the league, so I think he hit the right player" he said. Diaz is ranked first with 44 RBIs as well as home runs. It is 10 points behind Moon Bo-kyung (LG), who is in second place.




How would Samsung manager Park Jin-man view Diaz's "madness" like this. Coach Park said, `It seems to be the difference in adaptability. Last year, it was not easy to set the timing against pitchers I had never seen before, but I got the hang of it from the second half of the season. Now I've almost faced all the pitchers. "I think a good hit comes out when I hit the ball predicting the pitch type and the angle of the breaking ball."

He has played 43 games and has 17 home runs. If it's 144 games, it's a 57-homer pace. Last year, the home run king of the NC Dinosaurs had 46. Will Diaz be able to conquer the 50-homer mark.
