Karabito’s first back, Ryu Hyunjin returns… This week’s professional baseball
It is not as hot as the summer that gets hot and burns. This is the 2025 KBO League ranking competition. Interest was further amplified as the ‘Big Market’ team took over the top.
As of the 23rd, professional baseball mobilized 639,5359 people (369 games an average of 17,332). Even if you consider rainy -thousand, 7 million spectators are expected to exceed the first half of the first half (July 10). The club with the highest share of the home stadium is the Hanwha Eagles at the top of the ranking. Each game has 99.5%(an average of 16,918 people and 17,000 seats). LG Twins are the second -largest spectators (21,490), following Samsung Lions (average 22,588). Lotte Giants recorded 22 consecutive home stadiums (second in history) until the 19th. They are the first and third clubs.
Each team has 15 games until the All -Star Break (July 11-16). No team can be vigilant because there are six rides from Hanwha to 7th Katie (KT). Hanwha deals with Samsung Lions and SSG Randers this week. Hanwha has a 4-2 loss in both teams. Ryu Hyun -jin, who was excluded from the first group entry on the 6th due to internal muscle pain, is scheduled to start SS. Cody Phonsse (Hanhwa) and Drew Anderson (SSG), who are fighting first and second in ERA, will be in the start of the 28th. However, it is fluid because of the forecast of rainy season.
It is also interesting to see how much Luis Riverato, who was temporarily recruited instead of the injured Esteban Florial, will be active in the top batting order of Hanwha. He played a multi -hit (5 at -bats and three hits and one RBI) in his first KBO League debut (Kiwoom Heroes) on the 22nd. Samsung also made his debut against Hanwha on the 26th. Karabito scored 152 kilometers of live pitching.
LG and Katie (KT), who have only four wins side by side in the last 10 games, play in Suwon during the week. Both teams survived with pitchers, but they are somewhat powerful. We met each other when they needed a rebound. On weekends, LG faces Kia and Katie against Lotte. It is a high rain of ranking fights.
Lotte, which is running four consecutive wins with the power of veteran such as Alex Gamboa and Kim Min -sung, is facing NC (NC) Dinos. NC is also not in a recent rise (10 games 6-4). The opponent’s record was also tight with 3 wins and 3 losses. Hunger of six consecutive wins meets the week. In Kia, Sung Young -tak, who has continued his 17th innings without a debut, is interested. Sung Young -Tak will challenge the league’s most consecutive innings (Kiwoom Kim In -bum, 19th innings). Kim Yun -ha (Kiwoom), who is in the league starter’s most consecutive victories, is going to lose his losing streak against Kia.
Meanwhile, KBO All -Star Best Best 12, which was selected as a fan voting (70%) and a team voting (30%, 352), was confirmed on the 23rd. Hanwha Kim Seo -hyun, a candidate for the Sharing All -Star, became the most voted voter of all time with 178,6837 votes (352,9258 votes). In addition to Kim Seo -hyun, Sharing All -Star includes Ponde (starting pitcher), Park Sang -won (middle pitcher), Florial (outfielder and ideal Hanhwa), Park Dong -won (catcher), Austin Dean (first baseman), Park Hae -min (outfielder, LG), Kim Do -young (third baseman), Park Chan -ho (shortstop), Choi Hyung -woo Park Min -woo (second baseman) and Park Gun -woo (outfielder, NC) were selected as the best 12. Dream All -Star is Won Tae -in (starting pitcher), Bae Chan -seung (middle pitcher), Kang Min -ho (catcher), Lewin Diaz (first baseman), Koo Ja -wook (outfielder and ideal Samsung), Kim Won -joong (finish pitcher), Ko Seung -min (second baseman) Lotte) and Choi (SSG) were selected. Doosan Bears, Katie, and Kiwoom did not have the best 12 players. The All -Star Game will be held at Hanwha Life Ball Park on July 12.
