DAEGU — Throughout the Korean baseball postseason, Samsung Lions outfielder Park Seung-kyu has lived up to his promise of going crazy. The 26-year-old has delivered on this promise, particularly in the Korean Series. In Game 4, Park went 3-for-4 with three RBIs in a 10-5 victory over the KT Wiz. Despite not starting earlier games, Park is tied for the team lead with a .500/.538/.833 batting average.
He is also one of two Lions to have homered, with Koo Ja-wook being the other. Park expressed his satisfaction with his performance, stating, "I am happy to be going crazy, in a good way." Park's run scored in the third inning brought the Lions to a 7-1 lead. Later, after the Wiz scored thrice in the top fifth, Park responded with a two-run double in the bottom fifth, pushing the lead to 9-4. Manager Park Jin-man praised Park Seung-kyu's ability to energize the entire dugout.
