Samsung coach Park Jin-man cited the bullpen as one of the team’s weaknesses when he took office.
At the inauguration ceremony held at the end of October last year, “A lot of good players have come up for other positions. The starting pitcher also has a certain sense of stability, but he thought that the bullpen was lacking.”
However, when it came to the opening, the starting team left a sense of regret. In the NC match held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 1st, ace David Buchanan was sluggish with 4 runs in 5 innings. The team lost 0-8.
It was the same in Gyeonggi-do on the 2nd. Albert Suarez, one of the foreign one-two punchers, gave up six runs, including a home run, in three innings and was knocked out early.
However, in this game, the bullpen pitcher saved the team. Two players with the same name got on the mound side by side and were responsible for 4 innings.
It was Lee Seung-hyeon (32), a right-handed pitcher, who took over the mound first. Lee Seung-hyun pitched scoreless, striking out 1 in 2 innings with no hits or walks.
Then left-hander Lee Seung-hyun (21) took charge from the 6th inning. He faced six batters and gave up only one hit, but he struck out two to finish through the seventh inning.
As the mound endured, the batting line exploded. Samsung, which was behind 1-6, succeeded in reversing by scoring 2 points in the 4th inning, 3 points in the 5th inning, and 2 points in the 6th inning. In the end, they won 8-6, giving manager Park Jin-man the joy of his first victory.
‘Two Lee Seung-hyun’ are players who have to do their part in Samsung’s bullpen. Right-hander Lee Seung-hyun has been playing for Samsung since 2017 as Cha Woo-chan’s free agent (FA) Cha Woo-chan’s compensation player. He took his place in 34 games in 2019, recording 2 wins, 1 loss, 8 holds, and an average ERA of 1.95, but in the 2021 season, he was sluggish with 21 games, 1 win, 1 loss, 1 hold, and an average ERA of 9.53. Last season, he had an average ERA of 4.68 with 2 losses and 13 holds in 54 matches.
Lefty Lee Seung-hyun wore a Samsung uniform as the first nomination in 2021. He used to hear that he resembled closer Oh Seung-hwan with his heavy pitch. In his first year with the first team, he played 41 games, and last year he played 58 games and recorded 14 holds.
The two pitchers of the same name are right-handed and left-handed pitchers, so they can put in the right situation at the right time, so they have a heavy duty to be responsible for the back of the Samsung mound.
Right-hander Lee Seung-hyun said,메이저사이트 “From the moment I got on the mound, I thought I was going to throw multiple innings. He pitched this inning with the thought that it was his last, and a good result came out. The team also won, and personally good results came out. It’s a good start,” he said with satisfaction.
Lee Seung-hyun, a left-hander, confidently said, “I am in very good condition now. I think I got good results today thanks to my good condition and a lot of preparation for the season.” He said, “Whether it is short or long, I will do my part well. I will show you a lot of good looks.”
