Park Byung-ho was excluded from the starting list of the Samsung Lions ‘Gongpo’. On the previous day, Samsung coach Park Jin-man predicted that Park Byung-ho would start, but changed his mind.

Park Byung-ho will be on the bench for the second round of the semi-playoff against SSG Landers in the 2025 KBO League postseason at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 11th.

Park Byung-ho was originally listed as a starter for Game 2. The day of the second game was originally 10 days, but the game was canceled due to rain. It was pushed back to the 11th.

However, Park Byung-ho was not seen in the newly announced starting lineup.

On the 10th, he wrote down Koo Ja-wook’s designated hitter and Park Byung-ho’s designated hitter, and on the 11th, Kim Hun-gon will take over as left fielder.

Samsung set up batting order with Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Kim Sung-yoon (right wing), Koo Ja-wook (designated hitter), Diaz (first baseman), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Kim Heon-gon (left wing), Kang Min-ho (fosu), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second baseman), and Lee Sung-kyu (midfielder).

In response, 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.

It is believed that the priority is to place Koo Ja-wook as a designated hitter to revive the sense of hitting.

The Samsung Lions and Kiwoom Heroes match held at Daegu Lions Park on the 25th.

Director Park Jin-man said, `Let’s beat the stone bridge too. Koo Ja-wook has ups and downs now, but he is indispensable to our lineup. There are games ahead, too. Considering various circumstances, there was an opinion that we should be designated as designated hitters. That’s why I decided to do so.”

Samsung is going all out again today.

Manager Park Jin-man said, “(Starting pitcher) Garavito would like to throw it until the sixth inning, but if it shakes at the beginning, I am ready to operate it at full capacity. It’s a short-term battle. I took a day off. There is some room in the bullpen. If the situation doesn’t work, I’ll run it quickly.” He said, burning his will to win.
