"I think the game will not be easy because my mentality is shaking."

Is Samsung Lions' Choi Won-tae's fall baseball on the verge of ending like this.

Samsung will play the second game of the wild card game against the NC Dinos at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 7th. Samsung, which came to the postseason as fourth place, is fighting in an advantageous position with one win and advantage at its home stadium. However, it was defeated by NC in the first game on Sunday, and now faces a situation in which it cannot be relieved.

And immediately he was replaced by Lee Seung-min. a judgment that cannot be sustained.

Ahead of the second game, Samsung manager Park Jin-man said, `Choi Won-tae is a player who can pressure the opponent with ball power. However, as it is now, there are areas where confidence and mental are shaken, so I decided that today's game will not be easy," he said with a cool head.




Choi Won-tae is a free agent pitcher whom Samsung invested a huge amount of 7 billion won (approx. However, he was not satisfied with his record of 8 wins, 7 losses and 4.92 ERA in 27 regular-season games. At the end of the season, he even came out to the bullpen instead of starting. Even in the wild-card game, which did not require many starters, he got a chance with the bullpen, but he lost the trust of the team.
