He showed solid organizational power and threw hope like last year's runner-up team. He had 10 hits and was ahead of the eight-hit Yomiuri Giants.
On the afternoon of the 16th, Samsung lost to the Yomiuri Giants of Japanese professional baseball 3-4 in a warm-up match at Cellular Stadium in Naha, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. Team's first outside warm-up match in spring camp.
Maybe because it was my first real game, I struggled a bit in the beginning. Starter Lee Seung-hyun played a rather difficult game against a persistent Japanese batter. The batting line was also crushed at the beginning of the game.
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.

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.
After taking the mound, Lee Seung-hyun said, `Today's condition wasn't 100% but it wasn't that bad, but overall, I felt that the Japanese players' contact was a little better than the Korean players. My physical condition is increasing little by little, so I think it will get better and better. I'm going to take good care of my body"I analyzed his first appearance.

Last year, top hitter Kim Sung-yoon got on base with a hit in the first inning against right-hander Nishidate, a second-year right-hander, but failed to steal. Lee Jae-hyun hit a hit after two outs, but Diaz's ground ball failed to score. With three outs in the second and third innings, Nishidate gave up two hits and no runs in three innings. Samsung's batters, who were dragged to 0-4 with four hits and no runs until the sixth inning, showed their concentration in the seventh inning.
He chased down Utah, the No. 1 winning team in the 2020 draft, with three points, batting one by one. Diaz, who had been quiet, opened with a double on the right-field line after one out.
Kang Min-ho pinch hitter Park Seung-gyu scored the first point by calling Lee Hae-seung home as a pinch hitter with a timely hit. Kim Do-hwan, who played as a substitute, scored the second point following a timely double over the left-center wall. Soo Soo-ho led the chance with a full count walk, and Hong Hyun-bin's timely hit to the right, who replaced Shim Jae-hoon with a hit after two outs and two outs, was seen. He chased by 3-4 points, but failed to tie the game due to Kim Tae-geun's strikeout with two outs and the bases loaded.
Lee Jae-hyun played with two hits in the beginning. Among the three rookie guns, Cha Seung-joon was active with two hits in four at-bats, including a double. Soo Soo-ho walked and Shim Jae-hoon also had a hit.
Lee Jae-hee, who took the mound in the bottom of the seventh inning, calmly gave up only one walk against five batters despite the shortstop's infield fly ball error. Bae Chan-seung, who took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning, walked the leadoff hitter, but took a maximum of 152km fastball on the electronic display, dealing with the subsequent three batters.
Lee Jae-ik, Park Joo-hyuk, and Lee Seung-min also set the stage for the chase by blocking the Yomiuri hitting line without losing a point.
