Finally, we're going to the real game.

Choi Won-tae (28), who has been reborn as a blue blood man, will take the mound for the first time since moving to the Samsung Lions. It's not a blue away uniform. He takes the mound in a white home uniform.

Choi Won-tae will take the mound as a starting pitcher for the white team at Onnason Ball Park in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan on the afternoon of the 14th. It's a bit early, but I built my body so fast that it's not too difficult to pitch in practice.




During the inactive period, he completed the pitching mechanism at the Cressey Sports Performance (CSP), a baseball program facility located in West Palm Beach, Florida, USA, and even pitched locally. It's already in real mode.

However, you don't have to speed up too fast. Therefore, he will pitch only one inning on the day. He plans to gradually increase the number of innings and balls.

Choi Won-tae was not very good at the beginning of the inning game when he was with the LG Twins. How to get through the first inning and the first inning is the topic of Lee's transfer. It has already moved to Lions Park, the most batter-friendly in the league. Early concentration became more important. A season of farming on a new team can be divided at the beginning of the season. For Choi Won-tae, a solid build-up is important during the training period leading to 'CSP→Guam→Okinawa'.




Management at the beginning of the season early in the game is inevitably important. As such, the match against Cheongbaek on the day, his first appearance since moving to Samsung, can be meaningful as a starting point for the build-up. Beyond simple practice games, Choi Won-tae is expected to focus on his own satisfactory pitching.

Choi Won-tae's willingness to rebound is sincere. I'm trying harder than ever. As such, the preparation process is not unusual. After watching Choi Won-tae's training process, club officials said in unison, `I didn't know he was serious about baseball.

The process of warming up and doing weight before and after pitching is unusual. Invest a long time in a thorough routine. There are many things to learn from close young juniors such as left-handers Lee Seung-hyun and Lee Ho-sung. A message that he's actually following Wontae's routine and having a good effect. General manager Lee Jong-yeol, who recruited Choi Won-tae to the positive ripple effect within the team, is smiling.

He is a veteran starting pitcher with 11 years of professional career who is drawing attention as a key man on the starting mound of Samsung this season. A lot of attention is bound to be focused on his first real appearance.

Left-hander rookie Bae Chan-seung will also take the mound as the last pitcher of the white team on the same day.

He will play one inning as the sixth pitcher after Choi Won-tae, Kim Dae-ho, Park Jun-yong, Lee Jae-ik, and Hong Won-pyo. Super Rookie who already surprised everyone with a strong pitch in bullpen pitching. Attention is expected to be paid to what the freshman's first professional adaptation stage, which is united with grit, will look like as much as Choi Won-tae.

Meanwhile, Lee Seung-min, Jung Min-sung, Yuk Sun-yeop, Park Joo-hyuk, Choi Ha-neul and Lee Jae-hee will throw the team in turn.

As the first Cheongbaek match in the camp, which was scheduled to be held in five innings on the 13th, was canceled due to rain, the Cheongbaek match on the 14th will be held in nine innings.
