“As things stand, I don’t believe the ball is bad.”
Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man’s evaluation of Song Eun-beom (40).
Song, who announced his retirement from baseball in February, was disqualified after applying for a variety show. It was a shock to Song, who had been active until last year. Samsung reached out to Song, who seemed to be moving away from the baseball world. Skepticism was raised over whether Song, who came back from retirement and wore a Samsung uniform, would throw a competitive ball in the first division. However, Song contributed greatly to Samsung’s last-minute move to the playoffs by holding one hole and posting an earned run average of 1.23 without losing or losing seven ⅓ innings in eight games. 안전놀이터
Song also appears to have a chance for the upcoming fall baseball season. “I don’t believe Song’s ball power is bad as it is now,” Park said. “He has experienced a lot. Only Song and Lim Chang-min and Kim Jae-yoon have experience in such a big game in our team’s bullpen,” Park said. “The key is how much those players will contribute to the bullpen in the postseason.” “I’m going to see Song in the rest of the game and think about whether to use him or not.”
As Park said, question marks remain over Samsung’s bullpen. The starting lineup is being guarded by Won Tae-in, Conor Seibold, and Denny Reyes, who are the “10-win trio.” However, if we turn our attention to the bullpen, there is no one who can guarantee his position. Left-hander Lee Seung-hyun suffered an injury, and discharge student Kim Yoon-soo failed to meet expectations. Oh Seung-hwan, whose ball power has been declining, cannot guarantee his entry into the post season. After the decision to move to the playoffs, Park is considering various options including utilizing Baek Jeong-hyun from the bullpen, but seems to have failed to find a suitable answer.
“We are trying to use the pitcher with the best pitching capability in a mid-to-late crisis,” manager Park said on the operation of the fall baseball bullpen. “Im Chang-min can go first, or if it’s in a crisis, Kim Jae-yoon can go first. That’s why we have a choice called Song Eun-beom.” “We need to discuss more with the pitcher part, but if we judge that the game is to be held, there could be a situation where the starting pitcher will be blocked for one inning in two days. I think there could be a lot of anomalies.”
