Samsung defeated home team Kiwoom one after another in three consecutive professional baseball weekend games held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul from the 26th to the 28th.
It has been 9 years, 11 months, and 3 days (3626 days) since Samsung swept a three-game series against a team using the name ‘Heroes’ since May 23-25, 2014 (Daegu).
It was only after a period of literal change of strength that they recorded a sweeping victory again.
These 3,626 days marked the second longest head-to-head ‘drought’ in professional baseball.
Conversely, Kiwoom achieved six sweeping wins against Samsung during this period.
The longest-running drought is Hanwha’s record against Doosan.
The last time Hanwha achieved a clean sweep against Doosan was in the three-game series in Cheongju on June 4-6, 2005.
The tied second place record is also Hanwha’s record against Samsung.
Hanwha has never had a clean sweep over Samsung since winning all three games in Daegu from June 3-5, 2016.
Doosan has also failed to record a three-game winning streak against SK or its successor, SSG, after sweeping the three-game series at home in Jamsil during the same period.
NC is now the opponent that Samsung has not been able to win a sweep for the longest time.
The last time Samsung swept a three-game series against NC was on June 4-6, 2019 (Daegu).
NC has not recorded a sweep win against Doosan since April 5-7, 2019 (Jamsil).
As you saw earlier, Doosan is experiencing the longest sweep drought against SSG.
As for SSG, LG is the most difficult opponent to sweep, with the last match scheduled for May 21-23, 2021 (Literature).
LG, of course(?), won a sweep against Lotte (May 29-31, 2018), and Lotte won a sweep against KIA (April 16-18, 2019) for the longest time.
If KIA is LG again, an ‘Elot-gi’ cycle will be created, but this time NC (July 11-13, 2017) is the correct answer.
KT, which is full of former Lotte players, also swept a three-game series against KIA (April 30 to May 2, 2021) for the longest time.
Like Hanwha, Kiwoom is also the team with the longest history since Doosan (April 7-9, 2017) swept a three-game series.
So, 3 out of 10 teams are having a hard time achieving a sweeping victory against Doosan.
The ‘sweep victory’ that has appeared so far is based on △one game being held every day for 3 days and △winning all three games.
If you set the standard for three consecutive wins against a specific team without changing the stadium, the results may be different.
For example, Samsung also won three consecutive games at home against Kiwoom until the next day, including a consecutive game (double header) on October 16, 2021.
However, even if the standard is lowered like this, Hanwha will not be able to compete against Doosan… (The following expressions are deleted out of consideration for the mental health of Hanwha fans.)
