Song Eun-beom (40, Samsung) has finally joined the first team.

Song Eun-beom, who moved to Seoul with Samsung's first-team squad on the 26th, appeared at Gocheok Sky Dome. Song Eun-beom, who came out of the Samsung squad when he arrived at the stadium, bowed politely to the young Samsung players, encouraged by Oh Seung-hwan. New teammates of the young Lion Corps welcomed Song Eun-beom with a strong round of applause. Veteran Song Eun-beom, who has been through a lot, also smiled broadly at the players' hospitality.

Oh Seung-hwan takes care of unfamiliar Song Eun-beom. Oh Seung-hwan also returned to the first team on the 26th.

It has not yet been registered as an official first-team entry. Song Eun-beom will be evaluated whether he can take the mound in the first division through bullpen pitching at Gocheok Sky Dome. Song Eun-beom, who has recently recovered his sense of play by steadily playing in the Futures League, has been evaluated to have recovered his ball power to some extent.

Samsung's bullpen agent Lee Seung-min is scheduled to go out as a starting pitcher on the 28th. Director Park Jin-man hopes Song Eun-beom will be able to fill the vacancy. This is why the first-team coaches accompanied Song Eun-beom with the team to judge his pitching.

Song Eun-beom, who is scheduled to throw a bullpen on this day, carefully warms up

Song Eun-beom, who debuted with SK as the first nominee in 2003, played as a one-club man before being traded to KIA during the 2013 season. Since then, Song Eun-beom, who continued his career at KIA, Hanwha, and LG, pitched 1,454 innings in 680 games, recording 88 wins, 95 losses, 27 saves, 57 holds with an ERA of 4.57. However, last year, only four games were played, and LG excluded Song Eun-beom from the list of pending players after the end of the season.

Samsung reached out to Song Eun-beom, who is on the verge of retirement, in July. Samsung, which is aiming to win by running second place alone, expects veteran Song Eun-beom to add strength to the bullpen. The terms of the contract are not bad either. He invested an annual salary of 50 million won and incentives of 30 million won in Song Eun-beom.

Song Eun-beom pitched 10 ⅔ innings in eight Futures League games, recording one hold and a 7.59 ERA. However, the ball power gradually revived, and he pitched one scoreless ⅓ in the game against NC's second division on the 24th. The maximum speed was 141 kilometers.

The moment of examination has come. It will soon be decided whether Song Eun-beom will register as a first-team entry.
