Lee Seung-hyun of the Samsung Lions. Even though the position suddenly changed from starting to middle, he vowed to throw the ball hard without being shaken.
Samsung won 10-4 in the first playoff game against the LG Twins at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 13th. The second game was scheduled to be held on the 14th, but it was canceled due to rain.
In the meantime, Samsung has changed. Left-hander Lee Seung-hyun, who was selected as the starter for the third round, has been replaced. Ahead of the second game, which was canceled due to rain on the 14th, Samsung coach Park Jin-man said, "Hwang Dong-jae is the starting player for the third game." Lee Seung-hyun is going to the bullpen."
The reason is clear. LG's left-handed line is blocked. Since Lee Seung-hyun was a starter in Game 3, he took the mound in the middle as a side pitching concept in Game 1. First baseman Diaz had to come down because of a fatal error, but the ball was not bad. Coach Park realized the need for Lee Seung-hyun to spray powerful balls mid-to-late in the game to face the LG lineup, which has many left-handed hitters. So we had an emergency meeting after Game 1, and eventually changed the selection for Game 3.
It could be confusing for an athlete. However, Lee was calm. Lee Seung-hyun, who met ahead of Game 3 on the 15th, said "I prepared as a starter ahead of the playoffs, but I thought I could throw it in the middle because the number of balls was not large." The director told me to go, so I can just go and throw it without thinking. There's a reason to change it, right?邦I'm thinking that I just need to be good at whatever position I do" he said.
When the story of his position came out again, Lee Seung-hyun said, `First of all, playing the game is the most important thing. It's more important to contribute to the team, not to start, but to be disappointed. In addition, it is certainly comfortable to throw as a starter and then to the bullpen. I feel like I'm gaining trust and confidence in my balls", he explained.
What was Lee's first playoff and fall games like. Lee Seung-hyun "I was a little nervous. "When I soak up to my throat in the bath, I feel like I can't breathe well, that's how it felt. "Throwing the ball, I relaxed" he said.
When asked how he would feel if the Korean Series were held at Lions Park, Lee Seung-hyun said, "It was 10 years ago that I last watched the Korean Series. It was 2014. I saw it at Daegu Civic Baseball Stadium. That's why I think it'll be a new feeling."
Lee Seung-hyun was in elementary school. At that time, I think I went every year during the Korean Series. If I couldn't get a ticket, I went in when I got free admission after the 7th episode. The citizens' baseball stadium was within walking distance of my house"He revealed that he was originally from the original "Samlin".
