Can we see Park Byung-ho at Lions Park.

Samsung Lions' right-handed slugger Park Byung-ho suddenly disappeared from the semi-playoff lineup. Samsung manager Park Jin-man tried to use Park Byung-ho as the main player in the second game, but changed his mind. Attention is focusing on whether he can come out in Game 3 when the battlefield changes.

In this year's fall baseball season, Park has yet to display his presence. Park Byung-ho is a slugger capable of hitting a home run at any time. However, this season, while hitting 15 home runs, his batting average was only 199. Although he was in the wild-card game entry, he missed both Game 1 and Game 2. In the first round of the semi-playoff, he came out at bat as a pinch hitter.




Coach Park Jin-man said on the 10th that Park Byung-ho will start ahead of the second semi-playoff game against SSG. It was interpreted as a response to SSG's announcement of Kim Gun-woo, a left-hander with little experience, as a starting pitcher.

A variable has occurred. The game on the 10th was canceled due to rain. Park Byung-ho was not in the lineup that was newly announced on the 11th.

Coach Park Jin-man made the decision through a meeting with the training part and the power analysis team. He said he wanted (former) Ja-wook to go as the designated hitter due to various conditions. There has been a change in that regard", he explained.




If Koo Ja-wook enters as the designated hitter, it overlaps with Park Byung-ho. In order for Park Byung-ho to take over as first baseman, he needs to take out Diaz, a foreign hitter with 50 homers and 158 RBIs.

Only when Koo Ja-wook plays defense can Park Byung-ho be placed as a designated hitter. Koo Ja-wook has been playing only as a designated hitter since the game against Doosan on Sept. 23. My knee is not in good condition. It's a big problem if you overdo it and it worsens.

However, Samsung reduced the need for a home run in the second game. He lost to SSG 3 to 4 after hitting two solo home runs. Samsung didn't hit any home runs. If there was only one home run against SSG bullpen pitchers, the game could have been different.




Manager Park Jin-man said, "I think I lost because I couldn't hit SSG's bullpen. I'll think about how to hit the bullpen during the rest of the day."

Park has hit 11 of his 15 home runs in Daegu this season. At Lions Park, he had a batting average of 260, which was better than the away game.
