The Samsung Lions will return to the fall baseball stage for the first time in three years. It is also their second postseason entry since the opening of Daegu Samsung Lions Park. The role of the team’s head coach Park Jin-man will also be firmly behind Samsung’s rise to second place, which has not been highly evaluated ahead of this season.
Samsung Lions coach Park Jin-man, who is preparing for the upcoming fall after confirming the second place, credited all of these achievements to the players and pledged a good postseason performance.
From worries about the bullpen, the team’s weakness, to preparations for the other team’s yet-to-be-determined playoffs and the Korean Series stage, which has to face KIA, which has been weak throughout the season, we have heard various stories from coach Park Jin-man at Daegu MBC Sports Plus.
Q. How do I prepare for the playoffs?
It hasn’t been confirmed yet, so anyway, we think that no matter which team comes up, the players are in such good condition and full of them, so I’m sure there will be good results.
Q. Any PO matchup you want?
It’s not about which team is important, but we have a lot of young players in the postseason, so I think that if those players perform internally, no matter what team comes up, we will be able to achieve good results.
Q. The driving force behind the 2nd place
We went through a lot of hard times in the camp this season and in the beginning of the season. Still, the players worked hard to prepare for the camp and got good results at the end, so the players are really proud of themselves and proud of themselves right now.
Q. New Harmony
The young players have prepared well since the camp and worked hard to achieve good results, so the young players seem to have improved their performance with good results, and I think this season’s new and old harmony has been well achieved.
Q. Koo Ja-wook and the center hitter
It’s a little too much to pick just one person, not just Koo Ja-wook, but not only Koo Ja-wook, but also the captain Koo Ja-wook, and the existing Kang Min-ho. We also had a hard time this year until last year, but there was Kim Heon-gon, Park Byung-ho, who we brought in as a trade, and Lee Sung-kyu, who we have always thought of as promising players before, and Yoon Jung-bin, I think we have a lot to talk about this season.
And Lee Jae-hyun, a new player, and Kim Young-woong, performed so well this year, so I think the cogs fit well in many ways.
That’s why we were classified as the lowest rank this season, but I think it was the driving force behind us to reach the second place.
Q. Did you get the mercenary right?
Rather than me using it, the players created an atmosphere where they had no choice but to use it because the players were so good, and I think that the skills came out this season because the players prepared hard since this season’s camp.
So, rather than hiring someone, it’s natural that the players prepare that much and if they have good skills, they have to go out of the game, so I think this achievement was achieved not because I was good, but because the players prepared so well.
Q. The gap between the starter and the bullpen
Another point where we got good results this season was that the starters worked smoothly and we were classified as the bottom of this season because foreigners changed a little bit. And that part of the starting team was definitely filled in, and another great player, Won Tae-in, showed his skills so well this season, so the starting team is not that worried, but he seemed a little nervous in the bullpen. Since we have some time to do well in the future, I think we need to prepare well for the postseason in that time. 메이저사이트
Q. Oh Seung-hwan’s slump
As I’ve said, after the season is over, we still have some time before the playoffs, so we’ll be able to train and play well through the practice game. I’m trying to prepare well during this training period because I’m a player with a lot of experience.
Q. Trust in the players
Our players have been so good this season, so I have faith in them.
I think that our players will overcome such difficulties even if any team like that comes up, so I think not only me but also the players will have confidence and prepare well now.
Q. Hard opponent KIA
Because the fans supported and cheered for us a lot this season, our players were able to finish second in the regular season with such excitement, and when we go to the post-season, the atmosphere of the regular season is completely different, and we have a strong starting lineup, and KIA has a strong batting lineup, so we think we can play in the short term if we go to the post-season.
Q. Your resolution to win
It’s an opportunity now. And three years ago, we worked a little bit and finished the fall baseball a little early. Not only me but also the players are preparing well until the end of this season, so I will prepare more thoroughly to show good performances.
