"It hit me coolly." There is no problem at all because it grows while being hit again."

Kang Min-ho, the home owner of the Samsung Lions, calmly comforted his youngest Bae Chan-seung after the third round of the semi-playoff against SSG Landers in Daegu on the 13th.

Bae Chan-seung took the mound in relief in the eighth inning with one out and no runners, leading 5-1 and allowing one hit (one home run) and two runs (one earned run) in ⅔ innings. Samsung won 5-3 and recorded 2-1 in the series, holding a 100% chance of advancing to the playoffs, but Bae Chan-seung's loss made it difficult to finish.




Bae Chan-seung is a top prospect who graduated from Daegu High School and wore a Samsung uniform as the third overall pick in the first round of the 2025 rookie draft. He is enjoying the preferential treatment of experiencing the postseason in his debut season this year, and he was on a roll by pitching in two postseason games before this day with no hits, no four outs, and four strikeouts in one ⅔ inning.

Bae Chan-seung met the bench's expectations again on this day. The first batter, Herredia, got on base due to an error in catching a grounder to the third base, but quickly cut off the flow by turning Choi Jung into a double play to the third baseman.

Bae Chan-seung remained on the mound in the ninth inning, but he also sent out a runner without receiving defensive help. Ryu Hyo-seung, the leadoff hitter, was sent out by a fly ball to the second base. Bae Chan-seung faced Ko Myung-joon, who has the best pace in SSG. At the ball count of 1B0S, a 147km/h fastball was attached to the body, leading to a two-run shot to the left. It was a moment when the four-point gap narrowed to two points in an instant.

3rd semi-PO match between Samsung and SSG held at Daegu Lions Park on the 13th. Samsung's Bae Chan-seung, who allowed a two-run shot to SSG Ko Myung-joon at first base with no outs in the top of the ninth inning, is disappointed. Daegu = Reporter Park Jae-man pjm@sportschosun.com /2025.10.13/
Ko Myung-joon hit home runs in three consecutive semi-playoff games, becoming the second player to hit home runs in three consecutive semi-playoff games after Lee Ho-joon in 2005. In addition, it was the tie for consecutive home runs since his debut in the postseason. The previous record was three games in the Pacific Kim game during the 1994 playoffs.

Samsung manager Park Jin-man replaced the pitcher with Kim Jae-yoon as soon as Bae Chan-seung hit a home run and recorded his first postseason run, and Kim Jae-yoon kept the win by handling the remaining three outcounts neatly.

Kang Min-ho was hit coolly in relation to Bae Chan-seung allowing a home run in the ninth inning. There is no problem at all because it grows while being hit. Rather, (Kim) Jae-yoon came up in a situation where there was no runner due to the home run. On the contrary, I thought it was good. I thought I'd catch the Jihoon Choi one out sooner somehow, but I'm glad it ended neatly with three outs."
