Samsung Park Seung-gyu, no bats for two days in a row... “The desire to win is greater than MVP.”

(Daegu = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Dong-han = The previous day, he scored a home run, but this time he cut the chase with two timely hits.

Park Seung-gyu (26) of the professional baseball Samsung Lions led the team one step closer to winning by throwing a no-bat for two days in a row.

Park Seung-gyu started as the second hitter and right fielder in Game 4 of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO Postseason Korean Series (KS, 4 wins out of 7) against KT Wiz held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 7th, and led the team to a 10-5 victory with 3 hits in 4 at-bats, 3 RBIs, and 1 run.

Samsung, which had won three games in a row after losing one, was only one win away from winning the KS for the first time in 12 years since 2014.

Park Seung-gyu scored an additional point with a timely hit to the left field after hitting the shortstop's glove at the bottom of the third inning with two outs and first and third bases leading 6-1.

The scene that shined the most was the bottom of the 5th inning.

Samsung was chased down 7-4 in the top of the 5th inning as the bullpen gave up 3 runs with 5 walks.

However, Park Seung-gyu immediately turned the mood around.

With 2 outs and 1st and 2nd bases, he hit a 2-RBI double against Oh Won-seok that hit the left fence to go up 9-4.

In the bottom of the 7th inning, he got on base with a hit to right and then hit home on Koo Ja-wook's double.

Park Seung-gyu, who was used as a substitute in Game 3 the day before and hit a solo home run in his first at-bat in the bottom of the 8th inning, hit a hit in all four KS games this time.

The series batting average is 0.500 (6 hits in 12 at-bats), 1 home run, and 4 RBIs.

After the game, Park Seung-gyu responded to Coach Park Jin-man's description of him as a 'crazy player' by saying, "My resolution before starting the playoffs (PO) was to become a crazy person," and "I'm happy because I'm going crazy in a good way."

After hitting a timely hit, he roared and showed his joy, and also explained the meaning behind the ceremony.

Park Seung-gyu said, “We have to react louder when we hit a hit in an important situation to raise our mood,” and added, “I think that only when our mood rises can we overpower the opponent.”

What makes this fall even more important to him is that he was unable to play in the postseason last year due to a fracture in his right thumb.

Seung-gyu Park sat in the interview room next to Jae-hee Lee, with whom he worked hard in the rehabilitation group last year.

The two players also served in the military together in Sangmu from 2023 to 2024.

Park Seung-gyu said, “When I was an executive director, we worked out together, went on diet together, and had serious conversations. I feel good because we are doing well together in the process of becoming a key player in the team.”

He continued, “Currently, I am happy to play one game at a time, and I am grateful to be standing here,” adding, “My gratitude is greater than my desire to do well.”

He is also mentioned as a candidate for series MVP, but winning comes first before individual awards.

He said, “I have a greater desire to win than the series MVP,” and “I hope we win and Ja-Wook gets the series MVP.”
