Following last year's Stove League, the Samsung Lions is paying attention to strengthening its bullpen this year as well. Efforts were made to recruit resources from outside free agency, but this did not result. In the FA market, Choi Won-tae (former LG Twins) was the only starting pitcher. At the same time, he has made efforts to foster internal promising players. If young pitchers perform well in the 2025 season, they will be able to strengthen their waist.토토사이트

A good example is right-handed fireballer Kim Yoon-soo (26). After joining Samsung in 2018 as the 52nd player in the second round of the sixth round, Kim made his debut in the first division the following year. He left a strong impression last year when he was in the fifth season of the first division. After playing in only four regular games, he became famous as a "one-point bullpen" in the postseason.

Kim played as a natural enemy of LG foreign hitter Austin Dean in the playoffs. He played in three games and secured one out count each, all of which he garnered against Austin. He cooked variously by striking out, hitting ground balls, and flying balls. He also played in the Korean Series against the KIA Tigers, and allowed no runs in two ⅓ in four games. He gained valuable experience on the biggest stage.

Kim Yun-soo, who has a fastball that exceeds the maximum speed of 150km/h, wants to supplement his ball control and play a role in the bullpen in this year's regular season.

Lee Jae-hee, a 24-year-old right-hander, returned from his mandatory military service at the Sangmu Baseball Organization. Having been picked by Samsung for the third time in the second round of first round in 2021, Lee stayed in the first team as a substitute before joining the military.

Sangmu was a must-winner. Notably, he showed off one win, 10 holds, two saves and an earned run average of 2.08 in 30 ⅓ innings in 28 games last year. He showed off his physical stamina and increased his maximum speed to 150 km/h or more, before returning to the mound fully prepared. He had only played in seven games and 29 ⅔ in the first team for two seasons, but is seeking to expand his presence this year.

Hwang Dong-jae (24), a right-handed pitcher, hinted at a possibility last year. Having acquired the first nomination by Samsung in 2020, he has struggled in the first division so far. Last season, he struggled hard between the bullpen and the starting pitcher as a substitute. He recorded one win, two losses and an earned run average of 4.07 in 42 innings in 15 games. His maximum speed was up to late 140 kilometers per hour.

After the season's end, Hwang and infielder Lee Jae-hyun visited the Cressey Sports Performance (CSP), a baseball program facility in West Palm Beach, Florida, in December last year. Hwang aims not only to acquire know-how to manage physical stamina that can last a season but also to establish a training routine to improve his ball control. He plans to add strength to his bullpen first this year.

Right-hander Yuk Seon-yeop, 20, was a rookie last year. He was named the top four in the first round. He left the ERA at 5.29 in 11 games and 17 innings during the regular season. To gain more experience, he participated in the 2024 Phoenix Educational League held in Miyazaki, Japan in October last year. He was dispatched to the Australian Baseball League in November. As he has expanded his knowledge, he plans to elevate his skills as well.

Bae Chan-seung, 19, a left-handed pitcher of this year's rookie of the year, is also available. He was selected as the third in the first round. Bae can play fastballs of 150 kilometers per hour or faster, and has sliders that break fast. He can position himself as a bullpen pitcher for left-handed fastballs, which Samsung lacked.

These players are trying to support Samsung's bullpen.
