Lotte’s ace pitcher Park Se-woong, 29, is gearing up for a pivotal match as he aims for a nine-game winning streak in the 2025 KBO League. After an impressive run, including an eight-game winning streak, Park faced a tough outing on March 23 against the LG Twins, where he recorded a loss. However, he has shown remarkable resilience, bouncing back to remain a key player in the race for the top.
Park is set to take the mound against the Hanwha Eagles on the 23rd at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon. This matchup is crucial, as the Eagles are vying closely with Lotte for playoff positioning, trailing by just half a game. Lotte recently climbed to second place, but they are also looking to close the gap on the leading LG Twins, who are ahead by two games. Park’s performance will be vital for Lotte to maintain their position in the standings.
Currently, Park Se-woong boasts an impressive season record of 8 wins and 1 loss, along with a 2.80 ERA over ten games. Despite a setback in his last outing against the Samsung Lions, where he struggled but did not suffer a loss, his momentum remains strong. Notably, Park Se-woong is currently tied with Hanwha’s Cody Ponce for the most wins in the league. Both pitchers are in a race not only for the title of leading pitcher but also for the longest winning streak this season.
With the stakes high, Park’s upcoming game against Hanwha offers him a chance to further his record and potentially eclipse his career high of 12 wins in a single season. His recent performance, including a previous successful start against Hanwha where he struck out nine batters, showcases his capability on the mound.
In this exciting phase of the season, Park Se-woong’s pursuit of excellence and his determination to lead Lotte further in the playoffs has fans eager for what he can achieve. As he prepares for this crucial face-off, both he and Lotte are poised for a significant moment in their campaign, highlighting the thrill of competition in the KBO League.
