Lions Park (Lapak), the home ground for the Samsung Lions, is a "home run factory." A whopping 216 homers were hit during the 2024 regular season. In other words, three homers were hit per game.
Samsung batters hit eight home runs against LG Twins pitchers in Lapak, where the first and second games of the 2024 playoffs were held.
Then, LG fans sarcastically said, "This is because Rafak is a stadium where home runs are mass produced." At Jamsil Stadium, a hit that would become an outfield fly became a home run at Rafak. In fact, about two out of eight were hits that could not be home runs at Jamsil Stadium.토토사이트
The two did not decide the game, but LG fans devalued their home runs in Rafak.
Samsung fans were furious. Then LG hitters sarcastically said, "Why didn't you hit many home runs in Lapak?"
This debate intensified in Game 3 held in Jamsil. When Samsung's Yoon Jeong-bin's home run ball was caught in front of the fence, LG fans again mentioned "Rapak Run." Yoon Jung-bin's ball could have been a home run in Lapak. If this ball had gone over, the game could have been tied 1-1.
Prior to this, Samsung's foreign hitter Lewin Diaz hit two foul homers. One of them was so close that he made a video replay. Some fans claimed that if the hit had been Rafak, it could have been a homerun that hit the pole.
Hurado, who Samsung ambitiously recruited, played for the Kiwoom Heroes for two years. In 2022, he hit only seven home runs. He also allowed 164 hits in 183.2 innings. The ERA was 2.65.
In his second year in 2024, however, the number of homeruns surged to 19. The number of homeruns he hit in 190.1 innings. ERA also rose to 3.36.
This shows that KBO hitters are adapting to Furado. In particular, Samsung fans are showing some concern in that the number of home runs has increased.
However, there is also optimism that Samsung's infield defense is solid and may be advantageous in hit and ERA.
Samsung, which is betting on Furado's performance, is drawing keen attention to what kind of performance he will achieve in Lapak.
