While the heads of five teams, half of the KBO League, are expected to face a fiercer resource battle than any other year in 2025, when the final season of the contract will be held, Samsung manager Park Jin-man showed the best performance just last season.
Except for SSG Landers Lee Soo-yong and Kiwoom Heroes Hong Won-ki, who were not invited to the fall baseball stage among the coaches who entered the last year of this season's contract, the remaining three coaches are LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop and Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop.
Last fall, of the three players who advanced to the postseason, Yeom Kyung-yeop led LG to an integrated championship in 2023, his first year in charge, but failed to cross Samsung's wall in 2024 and finished third.
Manager Lee Seung-yeop, who started his career as head coach of Doosan, also advanced to fall baseball for two consecutive seasons, but he is satisfied with both of his challenges and has not won a single game in the postseason.
All three coaches of the fall baseball team have been in charge of the team with a three-year contract from the 2023 season, and only coach Park Jin-man has recorded an upward performance every year.
Coach Park, who had a disappointing performance of 8th place in 2023 at the same time as the official commander-in-chief, was evaluated as a weak player again in 2024, but he went straight to the playoffs as second place in the regular league and succeeded in advancing to the team's first Korean Series in the Daegu Samsung Lions Park era.
The three coaches, who were disappointed in the final season of their contracts and in the fall of 2024, are in a position to achieve more than their goal of advancing to the postseason this season, and coach Park Jin-man is also determined to continue the performance he showed earlier.
At the request of manager Park Jin-man, Samsung recruited FA Choi Won-tae and foreign pitcher Ariel Furado to strengthen the team's mound, and is also working hard to foster young pitchers.
