Samsung Lions left-hander Lee Seung-hyun (23) played well against Sangmu Phoenix and succeeded in taking revenge on Choi Won-tae (28) of the game the previous day.
Lee took the mound as a starting pitcher at the 2025 Mediheel KBO Futures League match held at Mungyeong Sangmu Baseball Stadium on the 20th, and recorded two hits, four walks and eight strikeouts in four innings. Samsung, which ran away from the early score thanks to Lee's good pitching, allowed the team to chase below its chin at the end of the game, but eventually secured a 9-8 victory by keeping a one-point gap.메이저놀이터
Lee Seung-hyun made a fresh start in the bottom of the first inning by striking out Ryu Seung-min, Park Chan-hyuk and Lee Jae-won. In the bottom of the second inning, he struck out the fourth batter of Sangmu with a swing and miss, walked to Jung Eun-won and gave up a hit to Kim Jae-sang, but struck out Yoon Joon-ho and Han Seung-yeon to end the inning.
Lee Seung-hyun, who continued his strikeout streak by striking out Jeon Eui-san and Ryu Seung-min in the bottom of the third inning, shook for a while by walking Park Chan-hyuk, who continued his strikeout streak, and giving a hit ball to Lee Jae-won. He ended the inning without a run by inducing Han Dong-hee to ground out to the second base at the risk of scoring the second time of the game. In the meantime, Samsung led 7-0 by adding five runs in the top of the third inning following the score in the top of the second inning.
Lee Seung-hyun, who took the mound to play the last inning of the fourth inning, gave up a walk to leadoff hitter Jung Eun-won, but he struck out Yoon Joon-ho and Kim Jae-sang to get two out-counts. The next batter, Han Seung-yeon, hit Lee Seung-hyun's ball, but Lee Seung-hyun's scoreless game was completed when Jeon Eui-san struck out swinging.
Lee Seung-hyun did not give up a single long shot against the Sangmu lineup, which was hot with 14 hits in the previous game. Although there were some walks, he escaped the crisis by using his strikeout ability whenever necessary.
In the match against Sangmu on the 19th, Samsung made Choi Won-tae, the "four-year 7 billion FA," as the starting pitcher ahead of this season. Choi Won-tae, who had unsatisfactory results with one run in three innings and three runs in three ⅔ innings, respectively, left a bitter feeling as he collapsed with nine hits and nine runs in two ⅔ innings in the final inspection before the opening.
Samsung set up the league's top starting lineup with Choi Won-tae and Ariel Furado in the Stove League last year, but it is still unclear whether it will be able to operate a normal rotation from the opening series. Won Tae-in, who suffered a shoulder injury in last year's Korean Series, has not yet played in practice, and Denny Reyes, who suffered a fracture from fatigue in his foot during spring camp, is still uncertain to join the opening entry.
It is good news to hear Lee Seung-hyun's good pitching this time for Samsung, which has been filled with only negative factors in the recent starting lineup.
