"I pitched fearlessly"

Lee Seung-hyun (22, Samsung Lions) started in an away game against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 14th and allowed eight hits, four outs, two strikeouts and two runs in five ⅔ innings.

Lee Seung-hyun, who has 6 wins, 3 losses and a 3.28 ERA in 13 games before the game, appeared in 3 games against Doosan and showed strong performance with 2-1 losses and a 3.00 ERA.

Again on this day, Doosan tied up tightly. While Doosan put forward Jordan Balazovic, a new foreign player who throws a maximum speed of 156km, Lee Seung-hyun did his part perfectly as a starting pitcher.

After allowing no runs in the first inning, Kim Jae-hwan's double and Yang Seok-hwan's hit in the second inning allowed a run. There were on-base hits in the third and fourth innings, but it did not lead to a run.

After one out in the bottom of the fifth inning, Lee Seung-hyun, who was on the verge of first and third base due to hits by Jeon Min-jae and Jeon Da-min, gave up his second run with Cho Soo-haeng's bunt hit. However, after striking out Jung Soo-bin, Heo Kyung-min's grounder did not give him additional points. He came up in the sixth inning and caught Kang Seung-ho and Yang Eui-ji with an infield. However, Yang Eui-ji's ball hit the left two sides, and he was eventually replaced without finishing the inning. Yang Eui-ji, who hit the ball, came to the mound and was worried about his condition. At the time, a Samsung official explained that `We are currently undergoing icing treatment, and there will be no hospital treatment.'

After Lee Seung-hyun went down, right-hander Lee Seung-hyun blocked one ⅓ scoreless inning, and Kim Jae-yoon and Oh Seung-hwan each recorded one scoreless inning to protect the team's victory.

After the game, Samsung manager Park Jin-man "All the pitchers who played today played their part, creating conditions for winning." Lee Seung-hyun pitched fearlessly against the opponent's foreign starter" he complimented.

Lee Seung-hyun said "I didn't feel bad today. I don't care about the outcome. In some cases, a real pitch continued the out count, and in others, a really good pitch led to a hit. I think it's part of the game```````.

Lee Seung-hyun continued "Even standing still today was a difficult day. I tried to throw at a fast tempo to reduce the fielders' defensive time, but I couldn't throw at a fast tempo unconditionally because all the opposing batters were fast hitters"When the runner went out to the base, he consciously checked it. It seems to have been effective not only for timing but also for exhausting physical strength.'

He was hit by a pitch, but his next appearance is not expected to be a big problem. Lee Seung-hyun said "The last shot on the arm is not bad. I'll prepare well so that I can throw better in the next game"I'm determined.
