Samsung won 6-3 after an extended 11th inning in an away game against Kiwoom in the 2025 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 20th.
The game itself was dramatic. As the team lost three consecutive games and seven consecutive away games, "Ace" Won Tae-in took the mound as the starting pitcher. After receiving two doubles in the fifth inning, Won gave up the first run. In the sixth inning, Samsung combined two hits and one walk to score a run and balance the game. Won also came up in the eighth inning to prevent the bases loaded with one out, with a 6-4-3 double play. In the ninth inning, Kim Young-woong reported a solo home run that turned the game around 2-1.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, Lee Ho-seong took the mound with a one-run save opportunity. Lee Ho-seong gave up a hit to Lee Hyung-jong and a double to Lim Byung-wook, and quickly rushed to the second and third bases with no outs. He dedicated a walk to Kim Tae-jin again, loading the bases with no outs. He garnered his first out count by catching Eo Jun-seo, a pinch hitter, with a straight hit to the first baseman. Kim Dong-heon allowed one run to center field, and the game was tied at 2-2. He stopped Oh Sun-jin with a ground ball to the third base and managed to finish the inning.
Baek Jung-hyun neatly blocked the 10th inning, and Samsung's batters scored four runs in the 11th inning alone.
Kim Jae-yoon was put in to finish the game in the bottom of the 11th inning. Kim Jae-yoon was hit by a triple by leadoff hitter Lim Byung-wook. Kim Tae-jin's sacrifice fly led Kiwoom to chase one run. Eo Jun-seo was caught with a fly ball to shortstop, but he gave up a walk to Kim Dong-heon. With two outs and one base, he preempted two strikes against Oh Sun-jin, but gave up two balls again, making the atmosphere strange. Fortunately, the slider outside the five pitches slightly crossed the ABS zone and caught the last out count with a rookie strikeout.

There is something in common. All the players who came up to finish the game lost a point. Coincidentally, they finish "present" and "past."
Prior to this season, coach Park Jin-man selected Kim Jae-yoon as the closing pitcher. Kim Jae-yoon had ups and downs with one win, two losses, four saves and an ERA of 7.80 through Sunday. Blonne saves have been recorded twice.
In the end, on the 9th, coach Park Jin-man declared a reorganization of the bullpen and declared Lee Ho-sung as a new closer. At the time, coach Park Jin-man said, "Kim Jae-yoon has a lot of experience. As the situation is psychologically shaky, if the ball gets better in the middle, he can go back to the finish line," but added, "Nothing has been decided. Lee Ho-sung is not a temporary completion, but rather Lee Ho-sung in the future (in save situations)."
The reason for Lee's appointment as the closing pitcher is his ball power. Through Sunday, Lee recorded three wins, one loss and three holds and an earned run average of 8.15 in 19 games. Rather than his earned run average, Samsung's coaches focused more on his ball power with 25 strikeouts during 17 ⅔ innings.
"Closer" Lee Ho-seong expressed his anxiety. He allowed two runs in four innings without losing or losing in four games since the closing score. He made one save and one Blon save. There is no three-out game against LG on Sunday except for the perfect ⅓ in the first inning. The batting average is 0.313. He also boasted his fastballs with the maximum speed of 151 kilometers per hour in Saturday's game. The speed on display also easily exceeded 2,500 RPM. However, the balls have become his prey to Kiwoom hitters.
Kim Jae-yoon is also similar. After changing his position, he had one loss and earned run average (ERA) of 3.86 without winning in five games. The ERA itself is not bad. However, the strikeout rate (K/9) per nine innings is 5.79, which is still insufficient. Kim Jae-yoon's total K/9 is 9.22. Closing pitcher needs a certain out count, which is a strikeout. It is all the more so if the Lions Park home ground where there is a risk of hitting home runs. Last season, Kim Jae-yoon's K/9 was 6.96, and this season it is 5.49.
The best solution is a rebound between the two players. Lee should maintain his ball power and find stability in his control. Kim Jae-yoon said, "The best bet is to recover his ball power and regain the finishing position. If not, Samsung's finishing position will be in doubt again.
Oh could end up playing as the closing pitcher. Before the game on Tuesday, coach Park Jin-man said, "(Oh) is working out in the Futures League," adding, "(He) could be a call-up) this weekend at the earliest." Before the season, coach Park Jin-man hoped Oh would take over the sixth to seventh innings, which is less burdensome for him. His joining in the first team is being delayed due to his personal and injury. If Oh fails to secure a definitive finish until he returns, he may have to shoulder the burden of finishing again.
