With the regular season nearing its end in South Korean baseball, the Doosan Bears have secured the fifth and final postseason spot. Currently leading the pack with a 59-52-4 record, the Bears are eight games ahead of their nearest rivals, the NC Dinos, who stand at 49-58-2. While the Dinos possess six more games to play, it will be a challenging task for them to close the gap. Despite this, Bears manager Kim Won-hyong insists he will maintain a vigilant stance until his team officially confirms its postseason berth.

The manager also noted that the upcoming Asian Games could significantly impact the Bears' season, as losing key players during that time could pose a substantial challenge.
