'Shock' Signs of Resurrection after Samsung's transfer...The bat got cold, Park Byung-ho went to the 2nd Army in a surprise move

The Samsung Lions made the entry change ahead of the first and second-place matchup against the KIA Tigers at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 18th.
Park Byung-ho went down to the second division, and Kim Hyun-joon was registered in the first division.
It is a bold decision by Samsung manager Park Jin-man. And it is a shocking cancellation for Park Byung-ho.
Park Byung-ho played in the opening game as a member of KT Wiz this season. However, there was a situation in which the first baseman was given up to Moon Sang-chul due to sluggishness, and eventually he asked the club to release him.
KT's club accepted Park Byung-ho's request and actively traded, and a one-on-one trade with Oh Jae-il was made dramatically on May 28.
After the first transfer was decided, Samsung seemed to be the perfect trade winner. This is because he hit three home runs in four games since his transfer, and his team also gained tremendous momentum due to the Park Byung-ho effect. Samsung Lions Park and Park Byung-ho, who are easy to hit home runs, seemed to be a good match.
But as time passed, the bat began to cool down. He had a batting average of 187, four homers in June. He had a batting average of 240 in seven games in July, but had no homers. In the end, he had multiple hits against KIA on the 17th, but he had one strikeout and one double play each.
