[Okinawa (Japan) = Reporter Lee Jong-seo of Sports Chosun] The sudden departure of the starting pitcher. First, the sixth starter started the engine.

Baek Jung-hyun (38, Samsung Lions) started a practice game against KT Wiz at Onnason Akama Stadium in Okinawa, Japan, on the 27th and allowed eight hits, one walk, and four runs in two innings.

He came back after shaking off all his injuries. Baek Jung-hyun, who had a calf injury at the beginning of last season, had a 6-5 record with a 5.95 ERA in 17 games. In preparation for the playoffs, he fractured his finger after being hit by a hit and had to end the season without playing in the postseason.




This season, I worked hard again to prepare for the season. He aimed for a rebound by working hard on installing fork balls.

Samsung manager Park Jin-man "After hurting his finger, he took good care of himself. The ball is fine. He is a player with so much experience in selection. I tried to use it when the doubleheader or starter had to take a break."

On the same day, Samsung said Denny Reyes returned home early due to a fractured fine fatigue in his foot. Baek Jung-hyun's role is expected to become more important.

He got off to a good start on the day. Baek Jung-hyun, who caught both Kang Baek-ho and Yoo Jun-kyu with a fly ball in the top of the first inning, got his first hit by Huh Kyung-min, but Moon Sang-chul finished the inning by turning it with an outfield fly ball.

He walked leadoff hitter Hwang Jae-kyun in the second inning. He caught Kim Min-hyuk with a fly ball, but he hit Bae Jeong-dae's hit and was on the verge of first and third base. There was a dizzying scene in which Oh Yoon-seok's ball headed straight ahead. He blocked the ball with his glove, but the ball flowed to the side, and in the meantime, the runner homered. However, after that, he filled all three out counts by striking out Jang Joon-won and Kang Baek-ho with a fly ball and a strikeout, respectively.

The third inning was a crisis. Leading hitter Yoo Jun-kyu's surprise bunt led to a defensive error, making it second base with no outs. After that, he received consecutive hits from Huh Kyung-min, Moon Sang-cheol, Hwang Jae-gyun, and Kim Min-hyuk, and eventually came down the mound.




Jung Min-sung then drew a double play, but a run was scored by pushing back with consecutive dunes. Baek Jung-hyun's loss also increased by one point. However, he finished the long third inning when he grounded out Kang Baek-ho. The total number of pitches he throws is 56. 24 fastballs, 12 sliders, 8 curves, and 12 forks. The maximum speed was 140 kilometers.

Although I got a hit, it's positive that I started in a healthy state. For Samsung, it has been waiting for Baek to enter the normal track.
