Park Byung-ho of the Samsung Lions visited Suwon KT Wiz Park for the first time in a month.

Suwon KT Wiz Park on the afternoon of the 28th. The Samsung team arrived at the stadium around 4:30 p.m.

Usually, away teams arrive at the stadium around 4 p.m. Since the home team is also training at that time, players from both teams naturally greet each other.




This day was different. The Samsung squad arrived at the stadium 30 to 40 minutes later than usual. The time when the KT Wiz team entered the locker room after completing pre-game training.

Park Byung-ho, who came to the ground in his training suit, headed toward the KT dugout, but the reunion did not take place before the game. Park Byung-ho had to be satisfied by greeting a KT official who was on the ground.

On the 28th of last month, KT and Samsung traded Park Byung-ho and Oh Jae-il through a one-on-one trade. It is a large trade that began at the request of Park Byung-ho, who has lost his position in the team.

Park Byung-ho, who moved to Samsung, immediately exploded his bat. Park Byung-ho, wearing a blue uniform, hit a home run in the first game and finished the ceremony hotly. After that, he hit three home runs in four games, wowing Samsung fans. He achieved a total of 400 home runs in the U.S. and South Korea, realizing the trade effect.

On the other hand, Oh Jae-il had a hard time adapting to the team right after the trade. Two homers and four RBIs were the only comfort in 14 games after the transfer amid a slump in batting average of 0.128.

However, the performance of the two players has recently changed.




Oh Jae-il's batting average in the last 10 games was 0.385. At the match against the Incheon SSG Landers on Wednesday, he had three hits (one homer) from five times at bat and one RBI. He also raised his batting average for the season to 0.231.

On the other hand, Park's batting average in the last 10 games is only 0.111. He is showing extreme sluggishness with two hits in 18 at-bats. The batting average for the season also dropped back to 0.201.

The first face-off in a month since the trade. It is interesting to see how Park Byung-ho and Oh Jae-il will perform.
