Park Gye-beom started as the seventh batter and second baseman against the Hanwha Eagles in the 2025 KBO League at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 22nd. Park Gye-beom swung two hits and five RBIs in four at-bats, including a grand slam. Doosan won the game 6-2. He won seven consecutive games. He fiercely chased the fifth place with three games on board, reviving the flame of autumn baseball.
Park Gye-beom faced Ryu Hyun-jin with the bases loaded with no outs in the top of the seventh inning when the score was 2-2. Park Gye-beom rolled up the curve of the first pitch and crossed the left fence. The 3rd Grand Slam in his career following the match against Lotte in Busan on September 4, 2019 and the match against SSG in Jamsil on September 17, 2021. Ryu Hyun-jin came off the mound after this home run.
Park Gye-beom didn't aim for a curveball. Park Gye-beom said "I didn't wait. Somehow I had to make an in-play hit in a fast count. If it's a little similar, I decided to hit it. Strangely enough, the curve caught my eye. Without realizing it, the bat went out."
Of course, I didn't even think about hitting a home run. Park Gye-beom `I didn't even know how to move on. I thought I had a hit. I'm not sure how I reacted either. My body moved naturally," he said with a smile.
Park Gye-beom only thought of team batting. Park Gye-beom said "It was a tie-breaking situation. He scored one point even when he was hit with a double play. Even if he hit a shortstop or a ground ball to second base, he could have scored one point. I thought Ryu Hyun-jin would come in to catch the first pitch because he has such good control. It's a combination."
In fact, Park Gye-beom is in a difficult competition to become a starting player amid Doosan's generational change trend. On this day, second baseman Oh Myung-jin's batting sense also fell, and acting coach Cho Sung-hwan gave Park Gye-beom a chance.

Doosan plunged to ninth place in the first half and switched to rebuilding mode early. However, acting coach Cho Sung-hwan even produced the results while maintaining the fielders at a high speed. It is second to LG in the second half of the year. Autumn baseball, which was virtually abandoned, came into view.
Park Gye-beom `always tried to win. We haven't done our best just because we're in ninth place. I think it's going up because it's time to come up again. It's not like we're in ninth place either. I think I'm finding my original ranking now," he said, expressing confidence.
