Samsung left-hander Lee Seung-hyun struggled in his first start in the camp.

Lee Seung-hyun started in a warm-up match against the Yomiuri Giants of Japanese professional baseball at Cellular Stadium in Naha, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan on the afternoon of the 16th. Team's first outside warm-up match in spring camp.

Left-hander Lee Seung-hyun, who is likely to be the fifth starter this season, allowed four runs with four hits and two walks in one ⅔ against the 1.5th-tier Yomiuri lineup. The total number of pitches is 43 and the maximum speed is 143km. He threw a combination of a fastball, a cutter and a curve. Considering that it was his first appearance, his pitching was not bad.

The first episode was refreshing. After a full count match with top batter left-handed hitter Okada, Okada threw a full fastball 143km outside, but Okada pushed technically and got on base with a double on the left-field line.

Louie Okoye is grounded out for the pitcher with a slow curve. With one out and third base, he struck out Nakayama, the third left-handed batter, with a fastball to his body. The fourth left-handed batter Tomotaij was grounded out to second base and finished the first inning without losing a run.

A walk in the second inning, which was 0-0, became a source of concern.

He walked lead Asano after a full count match. He caught a checker at Aramaki's at-bat and became one out, but he walked again to get one out and one base. He gave up his first run on three consecutive hits to Hahitasun Hao, Yamase and Kadowaki. Kadowaki, who hit a timely hit, pushed Sakamoto to third base.

With the bases loaded with one out, the cleanup hitter Okada was induced to hit a ground ball in front of the shortstop, but he failed to double play during the force-out by catching a slow ball, making his second run regrettable. When the number of pitches exceeded 40, he passed the mound with runners on the first and third bases with two outs. Lee Seung-hyun's loss became four points as the changed pitcher Yuk Sun-yeop allowed consecutive hits that were missed by Louis and Nakayama.

Since moving to the starting pitcher last year, he has led the fall baseball in three years with 6 wins, 4 losses and an ERA of 4.23 in 17 games. Choi Won-tae and Lee Ho-sung returned after receiving special training at the Florida CSP (Cressey Sports Performance) for three weeks last winter. He looks lighter and sleek by increasing his muscles. It was a bit difficult against Yomiuri hitters who played mainly as backup players, but it was only their first appearance. There is also a big difference in pace with the Japanese team, which has a much faster exhibition game schedule.

He gained good experience against Japanese batters who were biting into corner walks and fouls.

Samsung is trailing 0-4 until the end of the third inning.

In the batting lineup, the starting lineup of Kim Sung-yoon (middle fielder), Yoon Jung-bin (right fielder), Lee Jae-hyun (st baseman), Diaz (first baseman), Kang Min-ho (designated hitter), Kim Jae-sung (catcher), Su-ho (left fielder), Cha Seung-joon (third baseman), and Shim Jae-hoon (second baseman) is facing right-hander Nishidate, the first-place prospect last year.
