Candidate Koo Ja-wook's Won Tae-in lineage 'Daegu Crown Prince' has appeared. Samsung Lions rookie left-hander Bae Chan-seung (19) stood out in the spring camp and raised expectations.

Samsung returned home via Incheon International Airport on the 6th after completing its spring camp for the 2025 season. When asked about his goals for this season, Bae answered 'New King' without hesitating for a second. Bae already showed a maximum speed of 152 km in a practice game. 'You have to go to hell and bring it over with you' is a precious left-handed fireballer.

Bae Chan-seung is located in Daegu, Samsung's hometown. He graduated from Oksan Elementary School, Kyungbok Middle School, Daegu High School. He was named No. 3 overall in the first round of the 2025 Rookie Draft.




It is the second talent to succeed Koo Ja-wook (32) and Won Tae-in (26), the stars of the Samsung franchise from Daegu.

In particular, Koo Ja-wook graduated from Kyungbok Middle School in Daegu High School and is a direct senior. Koo Ja-wook was voted 12 times overall in the second round of the 2012 rookie draft. Won Tae-in is from Kyungbok Middle School and Gyeongbuk High School. Won Tae-in is the first designated player in the 2019 rookie draft. The two are big hitters leading the current Samsung.

Bae Chan-seung said "I think I did the best because I finished the camp safely without getting hurt. I came here because I made a good body. I don't think there's a perfect score. I think it'll be about 70 or 80"I looked back.




Bae Chan-seung has improved his condition well, but he self-diagnosed that he needs to adjust his control more.

He added "I'm satisfied with making a good body, but I have to increase the strike weight. I think I'll be more nervous than a practice game if I go into the exhibition game. I think I'll be nervous. I'll try to throw it while enjoying it."

Bae Chan-seung has already emerged as a strong candidate for the must-win group.

Bae Chan-seung said, `I haven't heard anything about the position yet. Just looking at the news I've heard through the media makes me excited and excited. I never imagined that I would get this much attention. I think we have to live up to our expectations" he said.

Now that I just graduated from high school, I don't have to rush.

Bae Chan-seung "The most common thing I heard was not to overdo it. I've been advised to refrain from doing that because you get hurt while trying too hard", he explained.

Bae Chan-seung confidently said his goal is to win the Rookie of the Year award.

He said "My goal is to enter the new king and the must-win group. If I become a must-win group, I want to try more than 10 holds. We'll have to see if we can do it, but there are so many friends who are good at it, so I think we'll be able to compete well"I predicted.
