Samsung Lions foreign hitter Diaz praised Won Tae-in 'Ace'. Diaz greatly appreciated that Samsung would not have made the semi-playoff if it were not for Won Tae-in.
Diaz expressed his determination to play in the first round of the semi-playoff against SSG Landers in the 2025 KBO League postseason at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 9th. Samsung defeated the NC Dinos in the wild-card game. It was thanks to starter Won Tae-in's six scoreless innings in Game 2. Diaz said "It's true that he was sluggish against the wild card, but he's trying to have fun because the postseason itself is a festival. I prepared well for this series, so I'll focus on winning."
Samsung struggled unexpectedly in the wild card game. Firepower, which is an advantage, held its breath. He lost the first game by scoring only one point (1-4). It was driven to the edge of a cliff. Won Tae-in won the second game thanks to a perfect blockade of NC. We won the game 3-0. It was a pity that Diaz, the center hitter, was silent and hitless in seven at-bats.
As soon as Diaz heard the three letters of the name 'Original', a smile spread across her face. He looked relieved thanks to Won Tae-in. Diaz said "Thank you so much and thank Tae-in. Taein doesn't know that much?If C had been lost, we would not have been able to come up. The batters didn't have enough strength, but thanks to the pitchers throwing so well, they came to the semi-playoff. Tae-in did everything."

Diaz vowed a revival in the semi-playoffs. Diaz hit .314 with 50 homers and 158 RBIs in the regular season with an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 1.025. In the 2024 playoffs and the Korean Series, he batted .353 with five home runs, 10 RBIs, and an OPS of 1.202 Bulbat in nine games. It is still slowing down in this year's fall baseball. Diaz says "If you have an uphill climb, you have a downhill run. I don't care about my individual performance because the team won. It's on the decline now, and then there's a point of rebounding again. I'll prepare as I did" expressed confidence.
Samsung is a challenger. It is less burdensome compared to SSG, which came on a first-come, first-served basis in third place. Diaz said "I'll focus on one game every day. I'll try to increase the RBI. The only goal is to be in the next series."
