"I'm trying to get the first point in my life."

The Samsung Lions will play the first round of the postseason playoffs against the Hanwha Eagles at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 18th.

The game, which was scheduled to be held on the 17th, was postponed by one day due to rain.




It is a welcome rain for Samsung, which has played two wild cards and four semi-playoffs. In addition, the team's conditioning improved as it changed from evening-day to day-day games.

On this day, Samsung will face the best pitcher in the KBO League. Hanwha starter Cody Ponce played in 29 games, recording 17 wins and 1 loss with a 1.89 ERA. He made a name for himself as the best pitcher in the KBO League, winning 17 consecutive games.

Against Samsung, he appeared once and showed a strong performance with six hits, one walk and eight strikeouts in six innings.




Samsung formed the starting lineup in the order of Kim Ji-chan (center fielder), Kim Sung-yoon (right wing), Koo Ja-wook (designated hitter), Lewin Diaz (first baseman), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Kim Tae-hoon (left wing), Kang Min-ho (catcher), and Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman). It's the same lineup that I announced the day before.

Samsung coach Park Jin-man said, "(He's a Ponce, so I think he'll have to open the first point somehow. It's not easy to hit back-to-back and score. I think we should try to get Ponce shaken up by scoring one point, not a big score" he said.

Coach Park said, `As the rain delayed one day, I get more nervous as an opponent. It's the same for us, but from the starting pitcher's point of view, we were nervous for another day, so I think it might be affected in that regard."




Meanwhile, Samsung foreshadowed Kherson Garavito as its starting pitcher. Samsung's starting pitcher is Kherson Garabito. He had 4 wins, 4 losses and a 2.64 ERA in 15 games this season. Against Hanwha, he pitched 11 innings in two games, striking out 10 and allowing no runs.
