The Samsung Lions hope to have 15 wins right away from the playoffs this season. Won Tae-in, the ace of blue blood, will make this dream come true at the same time.메이저사이트
Won has 14 wins, 6 losses and an ERA of 3.75 in 27 games this season. He had his 14th win against the NC Dinos on Saturday, setting a new record for the most wins in a single season. Adding one more win would mark his first 15 wins since his debut.
Won Tae-in was scheduled to start the home game against the Kiwoom Heroes on the 21st, but he will start the game on the 22nd due to a rain delay. Samsung’s direct playoff magic number is “1.” Samsung’s magic number was reduced to “1” as the Doosan Bears ended their doubleheader against the “Jamsil Rival” LG Twins with 1 win and 1 loss on the 21st.
If Samsung wins or the third-ranked LG loses, the magic number will disappear. The most ideal scenario would be for Won Tae-in to successfully hunt for his first 15 wins since his debut on Tuesday, and for Samsung to hold a placard to celebrate his direct decision to the playoffs after the end of the game.
Won Tae-in has been strong in the first half and weak in the second half, but he has won seven games in both the first and second half of this season. In an away game against SSG Landers at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 15th, he failed to display his ability by allowing nine hits (one homer) with two strikeouts and five runs in four innings due to the heat wave. As an ace, Won Tae-in showed strong performance in the game of high importance. He is expected to display his “blue blood ace” in the game as well.
Kiwoom remained at the bottom of the standings, but showed persistence by completing the big innings in the ninth inning against SSG on the 19th. This means that he is by no means an easy opponent. In addition, Kiwoom starter Ariel Furado not only achieved 10 wins for the second consecutive year, but also showed an advantage against Samsung this season by winning 3-1 with a 1.80 ERA. In the end, it depends on how much Samsung’s batters target Furado.
Meanwhile, Park Jin-man, who is set to play in fall baseball for the first time since taking the helm, said, “Postseason was like a bonus game when I was active. The atmosphere is different from regular season.” “There are a lot of young players in the team, so I hope they finish the regular season well and play baseball in fall. I can grow further by experiencing the post season. I hope they enjoy it and have fun.”
“I don’t intend to make any significant changes to the entry of the first team after confirming the second place,” coach Park Jin-man said. “I’m thinking of using more players in the background, but I’ll send out the existing players first and replace them to ensure their physical stamina. As we are implementing an expanded entry, it’s not a problem. As long as there are no injuries, there will be no changes in the entry.”
