Will the Samsung Lions be able to reach the 3,000-win milestone and go to autumn baseball.

The fierce first half of the KBO League in the 2025 season has ended. The sweet All-Star break is also over. All that's left is 'War'.

The battle for the top ranks is particularly fierce this season. The difference in rides was so small that it was even said that when you wake up after sleeping, you fall from the top to the bottom.




The team with the most dramatic experience is the Samsung Lions. Last year, he achieved better-than-expected results by advancing to the Korean Series. Unfortunately, he stayed in second place, but was evaluated as a good fight.

To try to win this year's championship, he grabbed Choi Won-tae, an FA 7 billion won pitcher, and brought in even after playing as Kiwoom's ace. At the end of April, he won six consecutive games and rose to second place. With a powerful starting lineup and Diaz's enormous home run show, it seemed that they could fight at the top.

But that was the last time. He continued to move around in the fourth or fifth place. Of course, as mentioned above, the ranking was not very meaningful because the ride was not large. Samsung was also eighth on May 20, but it became third on June 6. Although I slept one night and came in fifth on the 7th. In any case, it means that it is not far behind in the competition for autumn baseball.




But it began to crumble at the end of June. Both pitchers and batters lost their games, losing their fourth consecutive game. He seemed to be able to revive with three consecutive wins in July, but ended the first half of the year with four consecutive losses.

He ranked eighth with 43 wins, one draw and 44 losses. He failed to keep his 50% win rate. The gap with KT Wiz, ranked fifth in the fall baseball Maginot Line, widened to 2.5 games.

Of course, it is not a figure to give up. There is something that can motivate Samsung. It is the 44th season this year as a first-year team in the league, and it can set a record of 3,000 wins in the KBO League history. It had 2,968 wins until the first half. We need 32 wins to reach 3000.




Samsung has 56 remaining games. If he wins 32, he loses 24. a winning rate of .571. Although there is no 100% chance in the world, it is by no means unreasonable to say that achieving 3,000 wins will increase the advancement to fall baseball. If you win 32 games without a draw, your season's performance will be 75 wins, 1 draw and 68 losses. a winning rate of 52,40. Last season's fourth-place Doosan Bears win rate was 5221.

Will Samsung's bold investment turnaround happen in the second half of the year. The goal of 3,000 wins could be an important criterion.
