The wife of Samsung Lions foreign hitter Lewin Diaz (30) was subjected to verbal abuse from some netizens that was too vile to even put into words. As a result, Diaz closed his personal social networking service (SNS) account.

On the 30th, Samsung suffered a 2-4 comeback loss in Game 4 of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO Postseason Playoffs (best-of-five series) against the KIA Tigers at Gwangju-KIA Champions Field.

Samsung had lost to KIA in Game 1 but then won Games 2 and 3 consecutively, seemingly putting a spot in the Korea Series within reach. However, they dropped Game 4 again, leaving the series tied at two wins apiece, and will now head to Daegu. The decisive Game 5 of the Playoffs is scheduled for 2 p.m. on November 1 at Daegu Samsung Lions Park.

Earlier, Diaz went hitless in three at-bats in Game 1 on the 26th, but then hit home runs in consecutive games in Game 2 on the 27th and Game 3 on the 29th. However, in Game 4 of the Playoffs on the 30th, Diaz went hitless in four at-bats with two strikeouts. In particular, in the bottom of the fifth inning, he committed an error by dropping a ground ball to first base from Park Jae-hyun with two outs.

Last season, Diaz recorded 50 home runs and 158 RBIs, becoming the first foreign hitter to reach the 50th-home-run mark while also setting a new single-season record for most RBIs. However, this season, although Diaz appeared in all 144 regular-season games, he managed only 26 home runs, leaving some disappointment. Nevertheless, it is true that he has once again demonstrated the prowess of a home run champion on this fall baseball stage.

However, some netizens have been pouring out words online that are too difficult to even utter, directed at Diaz’s family. The posts on Diaz’s SNS are dominated by harsh criticism aimed at his wife. In addition, some netizens have also sent him direct messages of condemnation.

In response, Diaz shared his thoughts via his SNS, seemingly with determination, stating, “Even if you don’t like me as much as last year and don’t support me the way you did last year, I believe it is right to say what I want to say.”

Diaz stated, “You are the most hypocritical people I have ever met in this world,” adding, “You have caused immense pain and harm to my family this year. You poured all kinds of curses and vicious remarks at my family, and during that time, their health has deteriorated. Even our three dogs, who were always healthy, all underwent surgery for health reasons.”

Diaz then added, “I respectfully ask you: please do not approach me in the future or demand anything from me. If there is something you want to say to me, please speak with my lawyer. If things don’t go your way for even a single day, you criticize and curse me as if nailing me to a cross. You even attack my family. I hope that cursing and attacking our family will not happen again, and this will be the last time.”
