- The Samsung Lions are in a close fight for first place with the KT Wiz and currently trail them by half a game.
- Samsung rose to the top during a seven-game winning streak before losing to Lotte on September 3 and falling back to second.
- With the Asian Games approaching in mid-September, the club is considering its shortstop options if Lee Jae-hyun joins the national team.
The Samsung Lions are locked in a tight race for first place with the KT Wiz, sitting just half a game behind the leaders.
Samsung climbed to the top during a seven-game winning streak, but a September 3 loss to Lotte dropped the team back to second.
The Asian Games will begin in mid-September, and clubs must account for players selected for national teams. Among the leading teams, Samsung faces somewhat less impact from the call-ups, but Lee Jae-hyun’s possible participation raises a question at shortstop: who will replace him? The headline rules out Kim Young-woong as the answer.
