Pohang Baseball Stadium, the second arm of the Samsung Lions. It is an indispensable place in the history of Korean baseball, with Doosan Bears manager Lee Seung-yeop drawing his 400th arch in the KBO League when he was active.
Last year, Pohang Baseball Stadium was full of voices of regret. The already bad ground condition was further ruined by rain. He said he would do maintenance, but there were many problems to play.
Kang Min-ho (Samsung), who played at the time, said "I want you to manage the ground properly so that professional players can play." Even in high school, I didn't do it in a ballpark like this. When you step into the batter's box, your feet sink in like mud. "It's good to come to Pohang. However, the environment is unfortunate. He also strongly said, "There is a high risk of injury and it does not help our performance at all."
Kang Min-ho graduated from middle and high school in Pohang and is from Pohang. It was a bitter sound with extraordinary affection.

On the 20th, Pohang Stadium received a 'pass point' when it comes to the game. Ahead of the Pohang away game, Samsung coach Park Jin-man said "Pohang artificial turf has been a long time." It should be flat, but it's bumpy because it's old. In addition, players have difficulty in the base and mound areas. Samsung coach Park Jin-man, who was worried about the part where the players talk, said, `I think the ground condition is better than last year. Originally, the soil on the base side was a bit mushy and dug up, but when I checked it, it improved a lot. I think I'll manage well in Pohang" he expressed satisfaction.
Kang Min-ho, who took the lead, also said "The ground has improved a lot. Thank you very much for your preparation." Also, Won Tae-in "I think he did a good job on the mound for sure. Thanks to the good repair, I was able to throw well without any inconvenience" he said.
Although I was worried about the heat wave due to the abnormal high temperature phenomenon, the heat relatively cooled down once it rained in the morning. Park and Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said in unison, `It wasn't as hot as I thought it would be.'
It was regrettable, but there were some areas where it was difficult to improve. artificial turf at Pohang Stadium. It is pointed out that the ground itself is somewhat curved rather than a problem with the grass itself. Director Park said, `The grass is the same as last year. Artificial turf is done once laid. It's important how much you mince artificial grass underneath and lay the grass on top, but the grass at Pohang Stadium is not flat even with the naked eye. construction that requires all the grass to be plowed down. The amount and scale become larger than you can imagine.

It was not just a complaint. More than 10,000 spectators came to Pohang Baseball Stadium on that day, even on weekdays. Foreign hitter Lewin Diaz exclaimed, `I heard Pohang was the second ball, but so many fans came to see me.' Samsung also knows Pohang's love of baseball. Kang Min-ho's proposal was a word of desire to play more games in Pohang. Kang Min-ho said, `If this part is improved, I think I can play more games as well as three games as the second ball" he said.
