Oh Seung-hwan, who joined Samsung in 2005 after graduating from Dankook University, became a sensation in 61 games in his first year with a record of 10-11 losses, 16 saves, 11 holds, and a 1.18 ERA. He led the team to an integrated championship with '10 wins-10 saves-10 holds'Triple Double', which was unprecedented in KBO history.
Kim Taek-yeon, who graduated from Incheon High School and joined Doosan as the second overall pick in the 2024 rookie draft, had 3 wins, 2 losses, 19 saves and 4 holds with an ERA of 2.08 in 60 games.
The secret of the two rookie players, Oh Seung-hwan and Kim Taek-yeon, being able to complete the season by rising to the closing pitcher during the season is their physical strength. He started his first professional season by perfecting his body with sincerity unique to a natural stamina. The careful management of the club also played a big role.
A special prospect who can walk the path of Oh Seung-hwan and Kim Taek-yeon in the rookie season has emerged.
"Okinawa Sensation" is Samsung left-hander rookie Bae Chan-seung. On February 16 of last month, he had already shot 152km against Yomiuri. In the match against KIA, the winning team, which was the last practice game on the 2nd, he deleted one inning with KKK, causing another controversy.

The exhibition game starts on the 8th and the season starts on the 22nd. There are still three weeks left.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man, who is considering entering Bae Chan-seung's bullpen must-win group, started to control his pace. After confirming the possibility of a full game, he refrained from playing in practice games.
There is no need to overdo it to show something anymore, but the motivated rookie has no choice but to enter the mound with power every time he goes on the mound. It's because there are many people watching. Fans' expectations are so high, and the media is also paying attention.
Bae's task is to maintain the strong ball power he has shown so far throughout the season.
It's never an easy mission for Rookie, who just graduated from high school and fell into an unfamiliar environment. With a routine you've never played before, you have to endure the number of games you've never played before and a bizarre travel schedule for your first year.
Bae Chan-seung, who has been active as the team's main pitcher since his freshman year in Daegu High School, played 23 games in his freshman year, 14 games in his junior year, and 11 games in his junior year.
In order to play the full season as a must-win group, he has to take the mound around 50 games. Oh Seung-hwan played 61 games and Kim Taek-yeon played 60.

Bae Chan-seung, like Oh Seung-hwan and Kim Taek-yeon, is the epitome of sincerity. Scouts have been complimenting him since he was in high school, saying, `He has a strong passion for baseball and he is a very sincere player.'
That's how well I built myself and came to the camp. At a glance, I am flattered. The upper and lower body balance is good, and the chest is thick. It is similar to Oh Seung-hwan and Kim Taek-yeon, who are not tall but have a strong balance of strength. It's a body that can use strength.
A long season, there can't be no ups and downs. Thorough management is required. Care of the training part should be carried out at the same time as one's own efforts to follow the routine while being careful of excessive motivation.
It's not just Bae Chan-seung's individual problem to digest the full season. Samsung's only left-hander fireball in the 150km range. It is the present and future of Samsung's mound, which should be carefully managed and used bigger from the perspective of Samsung's bench, which emphasized the need for a left-hander that can be pressed with force.
