When asked about his physical condition during the offseason, Won Tae-in of the Samsung Lions answered like this. The question mark about his physical condition was due to shoulder pain in the last Korean Series.
However, Won Tae-in, who received basic military training after the season, said "I had a little discomfort until the training center, but I got better after receiving treatment one or two times." I'm glad and I feel good. All the discomfort I felt for myself has disappeared", he explained.
Nevertheless, he said he had already started exercising. Won Tae-in is fully recovered. I'm doing it right from the beginning of my exercise. You don't have to worry about anything. I really have a strong mind for next year."
In the offseason, his mourning burst. It was the halo effect of winning an individual title for the first time since his professional debut. With 15 wins and 6 losses and a 3.66 119 strikeouts in 159 ⅔ innings in 28 games this season, he tied for first place in multiple wins along with Kwak Bin (Doosan). It was even more meaningful because it was a joint victory of domestic pitchers over prominent foreign pitchers such as Kyle Hart, James Nail, and Detrick Ens.

However, Won Tae-in politely declined the expression "career high" this year. "I don't think I have any grades right now" is his reason. This is why he is not satisfied with himself yet, although his performance is comparable to his third 10 wins season since his professional debut and the 2021 season when he recorded a 3.06 ERA with 14 wins and 7 losses.

Samsung also worked hard to strengthen the mound by recruiting FA big fish Choi Won-tae and catching special foreign pitcher Ariel Furado in the stove league. Still, Won Tae-in should be at the center of next year's plan. In addition to Samsung's strong will to win the championship, it is also a strong will to reveal the desperately felt sorrow of runner-up this year.
