All the core bullpen resources that the NC Dinos are ambitious about. Jeon Sa-min had a dramatic opening series.
The opening game of the regular season against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 22nd. Starter Logan Allen stepped down after allowing one run in six innings, and manager Lee Ho-joon, who entrusted Kim Tae-kyung to the seventh inning, put the pitcher Jeon Sa-min on the mound ahead of the end of the eighth inning.
NC is leading 2-1. Jeon Sa-min, who took on the role of a must-win team, took the mound to protect his victory. However, he got a hit by Choi Won-joon, the first batter, and gave up a walk to the next batter, Park Chan-ho, shaking. The bold control didn't go as I wanted.
He took the first out count by handling pinch hitter Hong Jong-pyo with a fly to left field, but he allowed the next batter Na Sung-bum to hit an RBI timely hit and gave up another walk to Patrick Wisdom, failing to easily overcome the crisis. In the end, Jeon Sa-min couldn't finish the inning with the bases loaded with one out and handed over the mound to Kim Jae-yeol. After that, as all the responsible runners came home, Jeon Sa-min finished the opening game with four runs in ⅓ innings, and the team also suffered a come-from-behind loss of 2-9.

After the opening game, coach Lee Ho-joon covered up the entire civilian population. Director Lee said, `Samin has been in the chasing group for most of the time. He said, "(It must have been hard) in this respect because he is a one-point player and KIA batting line-up." "I think he was very nervous." I saw his face this morning (23rd), and fortunately, he was fine."
Manager Lee Ho-joon said, `We are going to go to the end unconditionally for Kim Joo-won and Pil Seung-jo, the second batter this year. The players must grow up." This means that the expectations for the entire civilian population are special.
And on the 23rd, the second day of the opening series. Coincidentally, a similar lead situation was created at the end of the eighth inning. In the bottom of the eighth inning, when NC was leading 5-3. Coach Lee Ho-joon did not hesitate to put the former civilian back on the mound.
