The inaugural postseason of the Women's Pro Baseball League (WPBL), which launched this year, will kick off on the 10th (Korea time).

Three South Korean players performing on the U.S. stage—Park Joo-ah (San Francisco Firebells), Kim Hyun-ah (Boston Hunters), and Kim Ra-kyung (New York Heights)—will head into the postseason with their respective teams.

The WPBL wrapped up its 2026 regular season on the 7th, which ran for about a month starting August 2 with four teams playing 15 games each under a 7-inning game format.

The postseason matchups were determined based on regular-season standings, and all four teams will participate in a tournament format.

The semifinals will be a best-of-three series, while the championship series will be a best-of-five.

All postseason games will take place at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois, USA.

In Semifinal Series A, top-seeded San Francisco (10-5), which finished first in the regular season, will face fourth-seeded Boston (4-11).

A "Korean derby" has been set up as Park Joo-ah and Kim Hyun-ah play for the two opposing teams, with Game 1 scheduled for 8:00 a.m. on the 10th.

Semifinal Series B features Kim Ra-kyung's New York against the Los Angeles Queens, with Game 1 slated for 8:00 a.m. on the 11th.

Both teams finished with identical 8-7 records, earning the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, respectively.

Infield player Park Joo-ah recorded a batting average of 0.400 (16 hits in 40 at-bats), 13 RBIs, 13 runs, 4 stolen bases, 8 walks, and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.970 across 14 regular-season games.

She is tied for 6th in batting average among the 18 players who met the requirement for plate appearances.
