Samsung manager Park Jin-man applauded Choi Won-tae, who led the first game to victory.

Samsung won 5-2 in the first round of the semi-playoff against SSG at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 9th, securing 68.8% of the winning team's chances of advancing to the playoffs in the first round. The first contributor was Choi Won-tae.

He silenced the SSG Landers' batters with two hits, one walk, eight strikeouts and no runs in six innings. By mixing up to 149km of four-seam two-seam and four change-up sliders in a balance, he neutralized the Landers' lineup, which has yet to get a clue, and handed over the mound to the bullpen in a 5-0 lead.

Coach Park Jin-man said, `It was the best pitching of the year. We showed what we really needed as a starting pitcher. I didn't think we'd have such a good performance."Coach Park's best performance was that he minimized it by walking with aggressive pitching.

Coach Park said, `It was especially encouraging that there was only one walk. He shook off his hard times during the season." Also, catcher Kang Min-ho led so well" he complimented.

Coach Park Jin-man put Choi Won-tae on the list of players who did not play in the second round of the wild card. As for the reason at the time "Choi Won-tae is a player who can pressure his 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.

He then immediately selected him as a starter in the first round of the semi-playoff and gave him a chance. It stimulated the arrival of opportunity in appropriate stimulation.

Coach Park Jin-man took a step back, saying, `I didn't mean to stimulate you.'"I lost confidence in the beginning when I started the previous game, but I'm looking forward to it because I think I've found confidence as I go up, and it's a great help."I expressed anticipation for his future performance.
