Samsung coach Park Jin-man said of Choi Ha-neul, a sidearm who collapsed with 7 hits (1 home run), 1 walk and 7 runs in 1⅓ innings as a starter against Changwon NC on the 20th, “The redemption did not come out as expected, which is his advantage. I couldn’t properly save it,” he said. Coach Park Jin-man explained that he could not properly utilize his main weapon, the circle changeup, as his fastball was only 135 km away.
Prior to the game on the 21st, coach Park Jin-man said, “You have to have some speed to use your main weapon properly, but yesterday, unfortunately, it was not. He pointed out that the speed was not coming out, so the command was not properly executed and the number of pitches increased.” Samsung has solid 4 starters, including David Buchanan, Albert Suarez, Won Tae-in, and Baek Jeong-hyun, but there is no suitable person for the 5 starters. 메이저놀이터
It seems highly likely that Yang Chang-seop will get another chance instead of Choi Ha-neul. Yang Chang-seop is recording an average ERA of 1.59 with 1 win and 1 hold in six appearances on the Futures stage. He threw well against Goyang on the 12th, which was his last appearance, with 9 hits, 2 walks, 1 strikeout and 3 runs in 6 innings. Manager Park Jin-man put weight on Chang-seop Yang’s 5th selection, saying, “I received a report that Yang Chang-seop is the best among Futures selection resources.”
Left fielder Kim Sang-min gave up a double in the first inning because he couldn’t properly handle Son A-seop’s fly ball. Director Park Jin-man said, “It’s a pity. He was an opportunity to give the opposing team a flow.”
Samsung made changes to the first team entry ahead of the game that day. Choi Choong-yeon, Choi Ha-neul, Heo Yun-dong (Lee Sang-yi pitcher), and Kim Sang-min (outfielder) were canceled, and Lee Jae-ik (pitcher), Kim Min-soo (catcher), and Yoon Jeong-bin (outfielder) were registered. Manager Park Jin-man explained, “I called up Kim Min-soo because I thought I would need more catchers in the second half of the game if both catchers, Kang Min-ho and Kim Tae-gun, played.” Choi Choong-yeon was excluded from the first-team entry because he needed a break to adjust his condition.
Meanwhile, the Samsung batting order consisted of second baseman Kim Ji-chan, center fielder Kim Hyeon-jun, right fielder Koo Ja-wook, left fielder Jose Pirela, designated hitter Kim Tae-goon, first baseman Oh Jae-il, catcher Kang Min-ho, third baseman Kim Young-woong, and shortstop Lee Jae-hyun.
