The Samsung Lions and the Hanwha Eagles will clash in the first round of the 2025 KBO League postseason playoffs at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 17th. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon has the most experience in autumn baseball among active coaches. Until the wild card final and the semi-playoff, it was a match between novice coaches. The playoffs can be condensed into a match between a veteran and a new leader.
First of all, it was pointed out that some operations were regrettable in the semi-playoff where Samsung and SSG Landers competed.
In the case of Samsung, although it won, it is evaluated that the operation of the must-win team in Game 4 was creaky. Kim Tae-hoon and Lee Seung-hyun, who were somewhat anxious than Bae Chan-seung and Lee Ho-sung, who were in good condition in the bottom of the eighth inning, two points ahead, were appointed first. He allowed a 2-2 tie and was on the verge of a reversal before reviving. Coach Park Jin-man also admitted that it was "Miss."
SSG saved closer Cho Byung-hyun and foreign pitcher White, who was able to take the mound in the bullpen, even though it was a back-to-back game.
Coach Park Jin-man experienced the postseason for the first time last year. Until this year's semi-playoff, the team has won eight games and lost seven games out of 15 games. This was the first fall baseball season for SSG coach Lee Sung-yong. This is also the first time this year for NC coach Lee Ho-joon, who played in the wild card game.
Manager Kim Kyung-moon is different. Starting with the semi-playoff in 2004, he played 79 postseason games (37 wins and 42 losses). Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung will play 60 games (36 wins and 24 losses), LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop will play 41 games (18 wins and 23 losses), and KT manager Lee Kang-chul will play 31 games (16 wins and 15 losses).

The variable is the senses. Samsung is more familiar with the actual atmosphere. Under coach Park Jin-man, he played the playoffs and the Korean Series last year, and this year's wild card game and semi-playoff. On the other hand, manager Kim Kyung-moon is the first autumn baseball in eight years since the 2017 playoffs when he led NC. It is also the first postseason in seven years since the 2018 semi-playoff. Among the current main players, Ha Joo-seok and Choi Jae-hoon are the only hitters who were also in the entry at the time. Unlike managers, most of the players are new to autumn baseball.
