Professional baseball teams will start the second half of the season with the same lineup as the opening game from the 16th. LG, KIA, Samsung, and Kiwoom, who suffered consecutive losses at the time of the opening game, are aiming for revenge. Samsung, which ranked first in the first half, is expected to continue its strong performance in the second half based on the harmony of old and new players and the balance between pitching and hitting. There is also anticipation for the performance of foreign players newly recruited by each team in the second half. In particular, Chris Flexen of Samsung is drawing attention as a key card for advancing to the postseason. Meanwhile, Ryu Hyun-jin is attracting attention as he is likely to achieve 2,500 strikeouts in his career across Korea and the United States.
