Lewin Diaz, the foreign batter for the Samsung Lions, is preparing for a three-game series against the NC Dinos while maintaining his hot batting form from the opening two-game series.
Diaz showcased his peak hitting ability during a training session ahead of the scheduled three-game series against NC on the 25th, hitting long balls in succession. He led the team's winning streak in the opening two-game series with multiple home runs and demonstrated tremendous power during training, further lifting the team's atmosphere.
Samsung defeated the Kiwoom Heroes 11-7 in a match held at Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 23rd. This marked Samsung's second consecutive win following their opening game victory.
The standout player of the game was undoubtedly Lewin Diaz. Diaz lifted the team's momentum early on by hitting a solo home run in the third inning. He added a crucial two-run homer in the eighth inning, recording multiple home runs and leading Samsung to victory. Diaz had an impressive performance in the game, going 2 for 5 with 3 RBIs and 2 runs scored, playing a central role in the team's offense.
Not only Diaz, but the entire Samsung lineup showcased a hot batting performance. Kim Ji-chan contributed 3 hits and 1 run scored in 5 at-bats, while Ryu Ji-hyuk added 2 hits and 3 RBIs in 3 at-bats, helping the team clinch victory. Additionally, Kim Young-woong had 3 hits (including 1 home run), 1 RBI, and 2 runs scored in 4 at-bats, while Kim Hun-gon also recorded 2 hits and 1 run scored in 4 at-bats, delivering a balanced performance.
In the opening game held on the 22nd, Diaz also had a standout performance, going 3 for 4 with 2 RBIs. Samsung has increased expectations for the season by winning both games in the opening series at home against Kiwoom.
Samsung will begin a three-game series against NC starting on the 25th. It remains to be seen whether the Samsung lineup, which has gained momentum since the opening game, can once again explode with Diaz at the center.
