Samsung won 6-3 in an away game against the LG Twins in the 2025 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 17th.
On the day, Samsung pulled out an exceptional lineup. The team was lined up in the order of Lee Jae-hyun (striker), Kim Heon-gon (right wing), Koo Ja-wook (left wing), Kang Min-ho (catcher), Lewin Diaz (first baseman), Lee Chang-yong (designated hitter), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Shim Jae-hoon (second baseman), and Kim Sung-yoon (middle field).
Rookie infielder Shim Jae-hoon was appointed as the starting pitcher along with the first call-up since his debut. Major infielder Lee Chang-yong, who posted a batting average of 0.347, six homers and 12 RBIs in 19 games in the second division, was also immediately appointed as the designated hitter as soon as the call-up was made. "I had to do something because the batting average was not so good recently. I want to be confident with the spirit of youth," coach Park Jin-man said.
Samsung's batters, who had not been able to get a single hit off their opponent Song Seung-ki until the second inning, opened fire with a hit by leadoff hitter Shim Jae-hoon in the top of the third inning. Right-handed batter Shim Jae-hoon strongly pulled Song's ball and sent it to third base. The ball was caught by third baseman Moon Bo-kyung's diving catch, but Shim ran all the way to the first base, eventually leading to the third baseman's throwing error to settle down to the second base. The rookie made the lineup a boost.
Later, the failure of the follow-up hit did not lead to a run, but it saved the depressed atmosphere. And this led to a reversal in the fourth inning. Lewin Diaz hit a two-run single with one out and one on the first base, which was made with a hit by leadoff hitter Koo Ja-wook. The hero of Samsung's first Jamsil home run of the season was Diaz. Later, Lee Chang-yong, who entered the batter's box, reported his first hit of the season with a clean hit to the left. Later, he stole second base by stealing. The next batter, Kim Young-woong, also retired with a fly ball to right field on the first pitch, but hit a positive hit to find a sense of hitting.
There was a meaningful scene in the fifth inning as well. Kim's fast feet shone through. As a leadoff hitter, Kim seemed to be out by hitting a ground ball in front of the first base, but he created a chance by stepping on the first base with his fast feet ahead of the pitcher. This led to a walk by Koo Ja-wook and a timely two-run double by Kang Min-ho after two outs, giving Samsung a 4-1 lead.
Shim Jae-hoon also shone in the sixth inning. Shim Jae-hoon stayed calm and walked with two outs in the first game since his debut. He then stole second base with his fast feet. Shim Jae-hoon, who was on the verge of scoring, even scored his first run by stepping home to Kim Sung-yoon's timely hit. Shim Jae-hoon's eyes and feet led the scoring. Shim Jae-hoon then walked on base for three consecutive games in the eighth and ninth innings, and added another run in the eighth inning. A rookie player led his team to victory with his first hit and run since his debut.
Coach Park Jin-man made remarks to players on the previous day. "You can't hope for something without effort. There is a price when you make effort," Park said at the time. "When you are in a bad situation, you have to make effort to pay for something. I think the players need to think back and prepare. I hope they don't spend their days meaninglessly." These were words that encouraged players to renew their commitment.
"You have to do something." The coach first opened the door with an unconventional lineup, and the players focused on sprinting. It was a moment when the long losing streak was cut off.
