KIA Tigers heading to Daegu Lions Park with two wins.

This season's memories at Rafak (named Lions Park) are 'Clear'.

He overwhelmed the Samsung Lions with 6 wins and 1 loss in seven showdowns. The winning rate is .857. The team's batting average for the limited season of Daegu games is .335, 13 home runs and 49 RBIs, and the team OPS (on-base plus slugging) is 0.961.



It wasn't just a good hit. Kia ranks second with an ERA of 3.95 in Daegu after KT (2.73). The team has 12 homers, tying for third after KT and LG (11). He only had 50 hits in 66 innings, ranking first in the minimum category.

Lions Park is a 'fear ground' for all team pitchers.



The number of homers hit at Lions Park this season is 216. The team ranks second overall after Jamsil Baseball Stadium (220). However, it is no different from the actual number one in that LG and Doosan share Jamsil Stadium. More home runs were made than Landersfield (194). More than twice as many home runs as Busan Sajik Stadium (98), which had the lowest number of home runs.

Lions Park is considered the most batter-friendly stadium. The distance to the central fence is 122.5 meters, but the distance between left and right is only 107 meters due to the unique angled outfield fence. It is 8 meters shorter than Incheon Landers Field (115 meters between left and right), which is called the 'Home Run Factory'. For batters, the green area behind the club also has the effect of seeing the ball well.



Kia, which has built up good opponent teams and two-stroke statistics at the Lions Park, is confident as it has secured victory in both the first and second games of the Korean Series at its home turf.

However, Kia still cannot be relieved.

The regular season and the Korean Series are a different world. It is true that KIA has built good memories in Daegu, but the Korean Series, which is played in the best concentration in every inning, can be colored in different colors. Due to the nature of Lions Park, which is not strange at any time, the flow can be taken away by an unexpected shot. Samsung, which ranks first in the team's home run category (185), can always take away the mood with one shot. It is also the part that KIA was most concerned about ahead of the Korean Series.

The success of winning the Korean Series with two wins is not just a good thing. Samsung bowed its head in Gwangju, but it can give another boost when it returns to 'Lion Cave'. Lions Park, which has accumulated 1.34 million and an average of 18,000 people this season, is expected to be the first in the non-metropolitan area and the second in the overall number of spectators. Samsung's unilateral support for a rebound could return to KIA as an arrow.

There are still two more steps to go to V12. Can tigers survive in the lion's den.
