It is the 2025 season when Furado's durability and consistency stood out. Based on various pitches, Furado recorded an outstanding performance of 15-8 with a 2.60 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP last season.

He pitched 197 ⅓ innings and recorded 23 quality starts. In both innings and quality start, he ranked No. 1 in the KBO League. He has shown himself as an optimized starting pitcher for Lions Park, ranking sixth in the league with 54.8 percent of ground balls. With his unique affinity, he set a good example for young Lions pitchers.

Diaz, who joined the KBO League as a substitute for a substitute in the mid-to-late 2024 season, was reborn as the best hitter of the year.




In all games, he became the first foreign player to hit 50 home runs and 158 RBIs, a league record, and won four gold medals including slugging percentage (0.644) and OPS (1.025). His stable defense and sincere training attitude enough to receive the defense award were also hot topics.

After renewing their contracts, Lado and Diaz both "I'm really happy to continue wearing Samsung uniforms. I'll do my best again to win the next season" expressed his feelings.
