“I think there are some people who are worried because of the recent poor performance.”
“I clenched my fists. It will not subside like this,” Choi said with strength. Choi, who will be wearing the LG Twins uniform, vowed to rebound. 먹튀검증
On the 13th, LG appointed pitcher Choi Chae-heung as a compensation player for pitcher Choi Won-tae, who transferred to the Samsung Lions as a free agent.
Left-handed pitcher Choi Chae-heung is a promising player that Samsung had high expectations for. He joined Samsung after receiving the first nomination for the “2018 KBO League Rookie Draft”. He made his debut in the first year of his debut and accepted the report card of 117 games in the first division with 27 wins, 29 losses, 5 holds, 486 ⅓ innings with an ERA of 4.59 366 strikeouts.
He seemed to be displaying talent in the 2020 season. He showed 11 wins, 6 losses and 146 innings with 3.58 123 strikeouts, contributing to the starting lineup. In the following year, he recorded five wins, nine losses and two holds, 122 ⅓ innings with 4.56 82 strikeouts, before slumping. This year, he recorded only 20 innings with one hold and 6.30 14 strikeouts.
“I was surprised that I didn’t expect it. I feel a bit puzzled. Samsung has been playing for a while and has been nominated as a team. To be honest, I don’t know how I feel yet,” Choi said. “I think some (LG fans) may be worried because of their poor performances. I am working so hard that I am not ashamed of myself this winter, so please look forward to it.”
The 2024 season was important to Choi. Samsung sent short-term study abroad to the U.S. Pitcher Academy to further develop the team.
Next week, the Australian Professional Baseball (ABL) was scheduled to be dispatched. I dreamed of a rebound, but I had to leave my old team with a sense of regret. “The boss and the general manager provided really good support. I should have made a grade to match it, but I was very disappointed that I couldn’t. I tried myself, but I feel bad that the result was unfortunate,” he said.
LG highly values Choi’s strengths. He focused on his ability as a left-handed pitcher and his experience as a starting pitcher. “Choi has ample potential, and he proved his ability by winning 11 games as a starting pitcher in 2020. I expect that he will be able to find his career-high performance in 2020, and if he finds himself, I expect that he will be able to take charge of the position as a young player as a starting pitcher in Korea,” the team said.
“I think it was a good opportunity because you gave a good evaluation,” Choi said. “LG was a really difficult team. They really help us in defense. We see them as a good team in defense and offense.”
Finally, Choi Chae-heung expressed his gratitude to Samsung fans, who gave generous support for seven years after their debut, saying, “I moved to LG, and I received a lot of good energy and support during the seven years I was at Samsung. I hope you will cheer for me a lot, not cheer for me so that I can do well even when I go to LG.”
