Park Byung-ho (Samsung Lions) fired his first cannon at an exhibition game. It is all the more meaningful because his opponent is Kim Kwang-hyun (SSG Landers).카지노사이트

Samsung won 7-0 at a home game against SSG at an exhibition game of the 2025 KBO held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on Sunday. As the third batter and designated hitter, Park had one hit, one homer, one run and two RBIs from three times at bat on the day.

The bat fired up from its first at-bat. In the bottom of the first inning, leadoff hitter Kim Ji-chan hit a hit. Kim Heon-gon struck out and reached first base with one out, and Park Byung-ho entered the batter's box. Kim Kwang-hyun's first pitch was a 146 km/h fastball formed at high outside. Park Byung-ho's bat was in vain. The second pitch was also a fastball at 144 km/h. Park swung the bat, which flew 115 meters and crossed the left fence.

He completed his duties from the first at bat. The remaining two at-bats were closed due to right field flyers and strikeouts. He replaced Kang Min-ho as pinch hitter at second base with one out in the bottom of the sixth inning.

A packed crowd watched Park's home run. Lions Park opened 2,3063 seats on the day, and all seats were filled with spectators. A total of 7,1288 spectators entered Daegu on the same day, which is the largest number of spectators in Daegu. The 7,1288 is the largest daily attendance in exhibition games ever.

After moving to KT Wiz in 2022, Park hit 35 home runs to become the homerun king, signaling his revival. He also hit 18 home runs in 2023. Last season was not easy. His batting average was hovering around 100%, and he only hit three home runs. As his slump got longer, he played as a substitute.

He will be wearing Samsung's uniform through the trade. On May 28, Samsung and KT made a massive one-on-one trade in exchange for Oh Jae-il and Park Byung-ho. "Park Byung-ho, as a right-handed slugger necessary for his team, is expected to solidify the left-right balance and maximize the advantage of superior home run productivity at Lions Park, where the distance between the two teams is short," Samsung said.

He was right. He hit a home run from the game against the Kiwoom Heroes on Saturday, his first game since his transfer. He had three hits, one homer, two runs and three RBIs in five times at bat, including a come-from-behind three-run home run against the Hanwha Eagles on Sunday. He also had three runs on the next day. He had seven hits, three homers and eight RBIs in five games after his transfer.

Samsung and Park had perfect chemistry. Wearing a blue uniform, Park played in 76 games, recording 61 hits, 20 homers, 60 RBIs and a batting average of 0.245 OPS of 0.839. He played 39 games at Lions Park and posted 30 hits, 14 homers, 44 RBIs and a batting average of 0.263 OPS of 1.044.

Finally, he will be able to play full time at home. Having hit 14 homers in 39 games for Daegu, Park will hit 25.8 homers arithmetically if he plays in 72 games, according to the calculation result. It is not a proper calculation, so it should be seen only as fun. However, the fact that he plays in Daegu for half of the season is a big boon to Park.

Since the opening of Lions Park in 2016, Park has played in a total of 79 games in Daegu with 76 hits, 29 homers and a batting average of 0.289 OPS of 1.065. The number of homers is the highest after Gocheok (52 homers) and Suwon (40 homers). The slugging percentage (0.662) is the highest except for Cheongju (1.563), which played in four games.

His motivation is certain. He will become an FA again after the end of this season. Choi Hyung-woo (KIA Tigers) signed a two-year, 2.2 billion won (approx. The 38-year-old Park Byung-ho can make a bigger contract depending on his performance.

The 2025 season will kick off starting on July 22. How many arches will Park Byung-ho, who will play for Samsung full-time, will be able to draw.
