(Sports Seoul | Reporter Kim Min -kyu) Professional baseball is a successful hit. The real game is under the leader than the lead. The mid -ranking competition for the postseason ticket is ‘Park’. Only fourth to eighth place. At this point, the word ‘battlefield’ is not exaggerated. The most intense battlefield in the KBO League is the fifth place.
The 2025 KBO League ranking competition is just before the explosion. The so -called ‘autumn baseball survival competition’ is at its peak.
The ride of 4th KIA and 8th Samsung (as of 19th) is only three games. It is a thin ice race that can change three steps according to the day’s performance. The snow is on the last train. KIA, KT, SSG, NC, Samsung. The breathtaking fourth place of these five teams emerged as the central axis of the overall season of the season.
The most advanced team is ‘Defending Champion’ KIA. It is also threatening the second and third places. In June, the Hampyeong Tigers made the momentum. He came down to fourth place in the last four consecutive victories in the first half. Na Sung -bum, Kim Sun -bin, and Lee Ui -ri returned, and Kim Do -young also comes in August. You can see higher places.
KT, which is in the fifth place, is known as a pronoun of the latter part of the league. He won the 2021 season integrated championship and the 2024 season wildcard upset myth. Although foreign batters Lohas’ silence and Kang Baek -ho’s injury departure overlapped, the rookie candidate Ahn Hyun -min appeared and led the batting line. In addition to solid starters, the bullpen is the best league.
SSG is a pitcher’s team. Drew Anderson, Michi White, and Kim Kwang -hyun are the starters and Kim Min -eun, Roh Kyung -eun, Yi -yeol, and Cho Byung -hyun are the highest in the league. However, the silence of the main hitters such as Choi Jung and Giermo Eredia is a variable.
NC is silently raising the ranking through the first half of chaos. The batting line led by Son Ah -seop, Park Gun -woo, and Kim Joo -won is said to have a balance of long hits and contacts. Bullpen Depth and overtime weakness is still homework. The key is how much cards would be in the second half of the game.
The eighth place is the second of the 10 teams with a team batting average of 0.267. It has hot firepower, but an unstable mound is fatal. The starting rotation must return stably. And the bullpen. There is also autumn.
The KBO League is now in the ‘Remaining 30% War’. The mid -range war, which is as hot as a leading fight and rather unpredictable, is the finals every day. Five teams of ‘Survival Match’, which takes place in the fall baseball ticket ‘2’. I wonder if there is a more thrilling drama than this. kmg@sportsseoul.com
