A monster rookie made his debut as a pitcher. Left-hander Bae Chan-seung (Samsung) made his professional debut. He became the fifth pitcher at a home game of the "2025 Shinhan Sol Bank KBO League" against Kiwoom held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on Sunday. His entrance shook the audience. It was early in the sixth inning with a 6-3 lead. During one inning, he garnered three consecutive hitters, and neatly stopped them. It was the moment when he raised his first hold. He pitched eight times in total, throwing five fastballs and three sliders, respectively. He even has a relaxed expression on his face.토토사이트
In fact, he remembered it as a very tense moment. "I think it was a moment that I dreamed of. I wanted to go up fast. I was really excited," Bae said with a big smile. "I am good at poker face. I might not have thought I was nervous, but I was nervous in reality," Bae hinted. Fans cheered for him whenever he threw the ball. "It is the first time that I received so much support in baseball. I felt good because the older guys also told me the ball was so good."
Bae Chan-seung is a local boy. He graduated from Oksan Elementary School, Hyupseong Kyungbok Middle School, and Daegu High School. He joined the opening entry for the first round of the 2025 Rookie Draft. After completing the spring camp and exhibition games, he enjoyed the joy of joining the opening entry for the first team. Expectations are so high that some within the team say, "I think we picked the rookie players really well this year." It is worth pursuing the position as a must-winner in the future, overcoming the immediate impact. In the case of Samsung, there are not many cases where strong balls are thrown to the bullpen. This increases the value of Bae Chan-seung.
His strength is a powerful fastball that can penetrate the catcher's mit. He throws fastballs in the range of 150 kilometers. He has elevated his condition by shooting 152 kilometers from the spring camp. The same applies to him on the day. His maximum fastball speed was 155 kilometers. He said, "I think I will have a good amount of tension," but his guts stood out on the mound. Yasiel Puig, who has good pace, also appeared to throw his fastball into the middle of the strike zone. He was stable in terms of operation, as he threw first-pitch strikes to two of the three batters.
This is the beginning. The professional stage is completely different from the amateur stage. There are many things to adapt to. Not only are the quality of batters Samsung is high, but it is also not easy to manage a tight schedule. This is why Samsung coach Park Jin-man took the mound in the second game instead of the opening game. Before the game, Park said, "I saved it." In fact, it was helpful to see the atmosphere once. "Thank you for your kind words and sending me out like this. I will do my best to meet my expectations," Bae said.
