Samsung's Injury Ward's Timing of Composition as a Complete Body Variant
Blog Article
The Samsung Lions, who reigned as the best prestigious team of the 21st century with seven Korean Series wins and four runner-up finishes in 15 years from 2001 to 2015, failed to advance to fall baseball for five consecutive years from 2160 to 2020. He entered fall baseball for the first time in six years by ranking second in the regular league in 2021 when he was coach Huh Sam-young (KBO's power reinforcement committee), but he met the Doosan Bears in the playoffs and lost two consecutive games, ending a short autumn outing.먹튀검증
Samsung, which seemed to be falling into a weak position by staying in eighth place in its first season as head coach Park Jin-man, returned to the postseason stage last year by ranking second (78 wins, 2 draws and 64 losses) in the regular league. Although it became a sacrifice for the KIA Tigers to win their 12th Korean Series title in the Korean Series, it showed its potential to beat the "defending champion" LG Twins by 3-1 in the playoffs. In particular, it was more encouraging that veteran players made good performances in harmony with the growth of new players.
Unfortunately, Samsung's goal for this season is to win the Korean Series. Samsung recruited Choi Won-tae from the FA market for a total of 7 billion won (6.37 million U.S. dollars) for four years to strengthen its starting lineup, recruited proven foreign pitcher Ariel Furado, and added Bae Chan-seung, a super star who was evaluated as an "immediate performance." However, when many players are injured, Samsung is fully armed and competitive to win this season's championship.
During the 2024 season, a foreign duo consisting of Conor Seibold (Durham Bulls) and Denny Reyes pitched 304 innings to secure 22 wins. Samsung, which has been agonizing over foreign pitchers every year, seems to have a proper one-two punch for the first time in a long time. Conor, who was expected to play as the first starter in the fall baseball league, left the club due to his back injury, and failed to return to the Korean Series as well as the playoffs, leaving a big regret.
Reyes, who had a strong performance with one earned run and three wins with an ERA of 0.44 in three fall baseball games, and Samsung, who re-signed for a total of $1.2 million, have signed a new foreign pitcher for a total of $1 million after winning 21 games in two years with the Kiwoom Heroes. However, Reyes has failed to take the mound in the exhibition game due to an injury in his right foot, and even after taking the mound in two exhibition games, he has been sluggish with nine runs (eight earned runs) and an ERA of 9.39 in 7.2 innings, causing fans' concerns.
Won, who tied for the top with Kwak Bin (Dusan) with 15 wins, 6 losses and 3.66 wins, lost a lot of weight during the off-season, but failed to appear in exhibition games due to his shoulder injury. Until Won returns, Choi Won-tae, a "seven-billion-pitch pitcher," should lead Samsung's starting lineup. Left-hander Lee Seung-hyun, who recorded six wins in 17 games last year, is also seeking full-time starting this year, while Lee Ho-sung, Yang Chang-seop and Choi Ha-neul are also challenging to join the starting lineup.
Oh Seung-hwan, who had 27 saves in 58 games in 2024, was the closing pitcher for Samsung. Oh, who recorded 24 saves 3.79 in the first half of the year, had three saves 7.41 in the second half, saw his batting average soar to .373, and was also disqualified from the fall baseball entry. Samsung plans to leave the back door to Kim Jae-yoon, who recorded 11 saves and 25 holds while playing as a setup man, not Oh this year (Kim Jae-yoon, a former closing pitcher who recorded 180 saves overall).
Oh Seung-hwan is 42, Song Eun-beom is 41, Lim Chang-min is 39, Kim Jae-yoon is 34, and Kim Tae-hoon is 33, and even Kim Moo-shin (Kim Yoon-soo), a promising fastball player, was out for the season after undergoing elbow surgery. Therefore, the growth of newcomers in the bullpen is urgent through this season, and manager Park Jin-man and Samsung fans are expecting a lot from left-hander rookie Bae Chan-seung, who was called the "Big Three of High School" along with Chung Hyun-woo (Kium) and Jung Woo-joo (Hanwha Eagles) in high school.
Samsung ranked ninth in the batting average (.269) and sixth (770 points) in the team's score last year, failing to display strong offense capability compared to the team's performance. However, it produced six hitters who hit double-digit home runs, ranking first (185) among the 10 teams in the home run category. Considering that foreign hitters who account for a big part of offense have been replaced by David MacKinnon to Ruben Cardinez (Kium) and Lewin Diaz, the team's slugging capability exceeded expectations.
In August 2024, Samsung's third foreign batter, Diaz, posted a modest batting average of .282, seven homers and 19 RBIs in 29 regular league games, but he also posted a batting average of .353, five homers and 10 RBIs in nine postseason games, turning the tables. In response, Samsung has renewed his contract with Diaz for a total of 800,000 dollars and decided to watch "Full-time Diaz." If his performance in fall baseball continues in this year's regular league, Samsung's renewal of Diaz's contract will be a "huge success."
Koo Ja-wook, who has a career batting average of .318, 1495 hits, 167 homers, 786 RBIs, 879 runs, and 140 steals, is a star of Samsung that is recognized by others. Koo Ja-wook also had his best season last year, hitting .343 33 home runs, 115 RBIs and 92 runs in 129 games. There were many concerns about the knee injury suffered in the playoffs, but Koo Ja-wook showed off his strong performance by hitting a grand slam against James Nail in a practice game against KIA on the 2nd.
Kim Young-woong, a big hitter in his third year as a third baseman of the Korean pro league who hit 28 home runs and 79 RBIs in 126 games, is a big infielder that Samsung has discovered for the first time in a while. In fact, Lee Seung-yeop (Dusan manager) and Kim Young-woong are the only hitters Samsung has hit more than 25 home runs in the third year of high school. However, he had no hit in one at-bats in an exhibition game due to right rib injury in the spring camp, but Kim Young-woong must come back healthy in the regular season.
Kim Ji-chan, who played as Samsung's main second baseman until 2023, transformed into an outfielder in the 2024 season and played 859 innings in 117 games (103 starts) as a center fielder, hitting .316 143 hits, 3 home runs, 36 RBIs, 102 runs and 42 steals.
