Park Byung-ho will start as the seventh designated hitter against the Lotte Giants in the 2025 KBO League at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 16th.
Coach Park Jin-man expected that `If Park Byung-ho is in the lineup, the opposing team will feel a little more pressure in Rafak.'
Park Byung-ho is a right-handed slugger who represents the KBO League. The home run king alone has six innings. Samsung's master bedroom 'Lapak' is famous for being batter-friendly. The middle left and right are short, which is advantageous for home run hitters. Most of Samsung's big guns, including Koo Ja-wook, Diaz, and Kim Young-woong, are left-handed hitters. If Park Byung-ho joins the lineup, he can build a strong right-handed line with Kang Min-ho.
However, Park suffered ups and downs this season. He slumped in early August and went down to the second team. The injury also overlapped in the Futures League. Park Byung-ho returned to the game against KT in Daegu on the 14th. He came out as the fifth designated hitter, but he had no hits in two at-bats. He recorded 15 homers and 33 RBIs with a batting average of .804 on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 210 at-bats in 68 games this season.

Park was positioned alongside Kang Min-ho at No. 7 and No. 8. Although they are in the lower batting order, they are not hitters that can be easily overcome from a pitcher's point of view.
Coach Park Jin-man said "If we look at the lineup, there are a lot of left-handed hitters. It is a situation in which Uta is needed. It's different whether Park Byung-ho is in the lineup.
