"It's the same."

Hanwha will play the first round of the Samsung Lions postseason playoffs at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 18th. In the previous playoffs, the probability that the winning team of the first round will advance to the Korean Series was 76.5% (26 out of 34).

Hanwha will play fall baseball for the first time in seven years since 2018. The opponent was the Samsung Lions, who entered the playoff stage after a wild card game and a semi-playoff.




The first game was scheduled for the 17th, but the game was delayed by a day due to rain.

Hanwha made up the same lineup for the first game. The starting lineup was organized in the order of Son Ah-seop (designated hitter), Luis Liberato (center fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left fielder), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), Ha Joo-seok (second baseman), Kim Tae-yeon (right fielder), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Shim Woo-jun (striker).

With Kim Tae-yeon, Lee Jin-young and Lee Won-seok in the right field position, Kim Tae-yeon was listed in the starting lineup. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said "I don't think it's bad when it comes to hitting."I expected his performance.

The starting pitcher was announced as Cody Ponce. Ponce played as the best pitcher in the KBO League this season. He played in 29 games, including an opening 17 consecutive wins, a new KBO league record, and had a 17-1 record and 1.89 ERA. 252 strikeouts are also a new record.

Another variable is that it will be played during the day. Manager Kim said, `As players are used to playing at 6:30 p.m., there may be fatigue due to different sleeping and such changes. Both teams may have active hitting, but I think pitchers are advantageous in daytime games. But I think I should open the lid."

Samsung's starting pitcher is Kherson Garabito. He has 4 wins and 4 losses with a 2.64 ERA in 15 games this season. Against Hanwha, he pitched 11 innings in two games, striking out 10 and giving a scoreless performance.
