Worried about good results in professional baseball demonstration games? Correlation with the final score.

There is a saying, ‘If you do well in the spring, you feel anxious’ as a self-deprecating joke from fans who support the Lotte Giants in professional baseball.

This is because it has not been more than a year or two that there have been disappointing results after showing good results from the demonstration game to the beginning of the regular season.

Like the anxiety of Lotte fans, how many안전놀이터 cases have ruined the regular season even after finishing the demonstration game with good results?

Since 1983, when the exhibition games first started in the KBO League, except for 2020, when the exhibition games were not held due to the aftermath of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), it took first place in 39 exhibition games and ended up in last place in the regular season, a total of 5 times. there was.

Starting with Sammi Superstars in 1985, LG Twins (2006), kt wiz (2017), and Hanwha Eagles (2021) wrote a record of ‘disgrace’ once, and Lotte also posted a name once in 1997.

Rather, there are more cases of winning the Korean Series championship trophy using the first place in the demonstration game as a stepping stone, seven times.

Lotte also rose to the top of professional baseball after winning first place in an exhibition game in 1992, the last Korean Series victory.

In fact, the exhibition game is the stage to check the power before the start of the regular season.

Players who compete for starting positions do their best, but clear starting players focus on adjusting their condition in time for the opening day of the regular season.

The bench’s demonstration game focus is also on power checks and injury prevention, not victory.

So, even though they finished last in the exhibition games, they won the Korean Series a total of 5 times, which is not a small number.

The Haitai (now KIA) Tigers won the Korean Series after finishing last in exhibition games three times in 1988, 1989, and 1996.

Lotte, which won its first championship in 1984 with ‘Iron Arm’ Choi Dong-won, also ranked last in the exhibition game that year, and the Samsung Lions in 2013 also left a case of ‘finishing the exhibition game → winning the Korean Series’.

There is also a club that had a bleak year, finishing last in both the exhibition game and the regular season.

Lotte (2001, 2003, 2004) had the most with 3 times, and OB (now Doosan) Bears (1991), Double Drop Raiders (1992), and Hanwha (2010) recorded one each.

It is also interesting to note that Lotte has been ranked first (11 times) and last place (9 times) in all-time demonstration games.

In the 2023 season demonstration game, LG and Samsung (6 wins, 2 losses) are currently tied for first place, and Lotte (1 win, 6 losses, 1 draw) is at the bottom.

After resting for one day on the 22nd, the schedule resumes from the 23rd, and each team plays 6 more games until the 28th, and the regular season opens on the 1st of next month.
