Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man expressed his trust in Diaz, the fourth batter.
Samsung will play the fourth playoff game against the Hanwha Eagles at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 22nd. Samsung, which lost Game 3 in a 1-1 situation, was on the brink. You have to win Game 4 somehow to lead it to the last Game 5.
To win, Diaz, the fourth batter, must play. In the third game, if Diaz had played just one shot at the match, the game could have changed, but Diaz was hitless and silent, making it difficult. As Koo Ja-wook, who had been sluggish this fall, revived in Game 3, it was a great regret for Samsung that Diaz's bat remained silent.
Ahead of Game 4, coach Park said "Diaz's hitting pace didn't drop. If you don't play one game, you always play the next game."
Coach Park continued "Diaz was silent when Koo Ja-wook survived. Batters have cycles. Kim Young-woong is doing well in the fifth batting order. If the link is well established at the center, I believe this series will be successful as well."
In the process of 1 win and 2 losses, the batters performed as well as they could. Coach Park said, `The batting line did a good job of targeting the opponent's strong starters. Only the starting pitchers need to do their part. It's not over yet."
