The 18-year-old high school graduate rookie pitcher's good pitching of two runs in six innings, who played in five games since his debut in the first division, faded. It's entirely because of Lewin Diaz's cannon show.
The Samsung Lions won the game against the Doosan Bears at Lions Park in Daegu on the 17th after an extended game in the 10th inning.
Until the fifth inning, Doosan starter Choi Min-seok had his own performance. Choi Min-seok, who was designated by Doosan as the 16th in the second round of the 2025 New Draft after graduating from Seoul High School, made his debut in the first division as a starting pitcher on the 21st of last month. Prior to taking the mound, he played three starts and one relief, recording a 1-1 record with a 3.45 ERA.
Samsung's batting lineup, which scored 12 points by hitting 22 hits in the game on the 17th, cooled down in front of Choi Min-seok's ball power. Samsung hitters had only one hit until the fifth inning. He got four four outs, but repeatedly poured cold water with a double play.

Choi Min-seok worked with veteran catcher Yang Eui-ji to solve the game by showing his relaxation with the best, which is not like a rookie. He effectively dealt with Samsung batters with his fighting spirit of 145 kilometers and 130 kilometers of sliders and folk balls. Until the fifth inning, Choi had only 56 pitches.
Choi Min-seok, who continued his scoreless pitching in the bottom of the sixth inning with Doosan leading 3-0, was hit by Lewin Diaz. He even caught a two-out, but after Koo Ja-wook hit a double, Diaz hit Choi Min-seok's second 133-km folk ball to hit a two-run shot with a distance of 125m over the right-center fence. This is the moment Samsung gradually followed.

Choi Min-seok struck out the follow-up hitter Kang Min-ho, completing his duties as a starter. He also has three hits and two runs (two earned) with 75 pitches in six innings, and has a winning requirement.
However, Samsung had a strong sense of responsibility. In the top of the seventh inning, Doosan missed the opportunity to score an additional point with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, while Samsung tied the game 3-3 with Koo Ja-wook's RBI double at the bottom of the eighth inning with two outs and runners on second base.

The game eventually led to extra time. After Kim Sung-yoon's double after one out in the bottom of the 10th inning, Koo Ja-wook automatically got on base with four pitches. Diaz, who hit a two-run shot in the sixth inning, entered the batter's box. Diaz pulled Kim Taek-yeon's 133-km slider on the fourth pitch without missing it and hit a walk-off three-run shot over the right fence.
