The intense 2024 season has ended. With baseball fans monitoring stove league trends and predicting which team will perform well ahead of the opening of the 2025 season, how will the 2025 season go.안전놀이터
One of the most promising contenders is the KIA Tigers, who won the title last season. At the pennant race held in the 2024 season, Kia finished first with 87 wins, two draws and 55 losses, and also displayed overwhelming performance of four wins and one loss in five games of the Korean Series.
Kia's overwhelming power came from its batters last year. Its powerful lineup, including Kim Do-young, who became the first Korean player to hit the 40-40 homers mark, displayed strong attack strength.
In fact, Kia has 858 points in total in the 2024 season, which is 84 points more than the league average score of 774. Kia is the only team among the 10 teams to score more than 850 points.
He also gave the mound a solid lead. KIA pitchers' ERA was 4.40, the lowest among the 10 teams in the league this season. KIA is the only team that does not exceed 4.5 points.
There is also little power leakage. Jang Hyun-sik, who pitched well in many innings during the regular season, pitched in all five games of the Korean Series, and pitched scorelessly, transferred to the LG Twins through the FA, but through a trade with the Kiwoom Heroes, he recruited Cho Sang-woo to reinforce the bullpen.
Of course, winning back-to-back games is not easy. It was already eight years ago that the Doosan Bears won the 2015 and 2016 Korean Series championships in the KBO League. For the combined wins, which come from both the regular season and the Korean Series, it was the last four-year winning streak set by the Samsung Lions from 2011 to 2014.
Many teams surpass the championship title. The most representative example is the Samsung Lions, which competed with KIA in the fall baseball league.
Samsung recruited Hurado, who proved his capability by pitching well for Kiwoom, and recruited Choi Won-tae from the free agent market, and established a top-ranked starting lineup. Samsung also succeeded in cracking down on internal free agents, and there was no loss of power.
The LG Twins, who reinforced the bullpen by recruiting Jang Hyun-sik, is also aiming to win once again. Many fans are also looking forward to the next season of the Hanwha Eagles, who have built a strong starting lineup.
The KBO League in the 2024 season was also a box office success with a fierce ranking battle. As all 10 clubs have shown potential, the 2025 season is likely to form a competitive structure rather than a single team's dominance.
Baseball is a sport with many variables. Predicting the situation of a game is also not easy. To play 144 games and perform well in the postseason, the most important factor is that not many people are injured.
