Bae Chan-seung of the Samsung Lions from Daegu High School was selected by Samsung as the third overall pick in the 2025 rookie draft. He is a left-handed prospect who has already been rated the best since high school, as he ranked in the top 3 after Kiwoom Heroes Chung Hyun-woo and Hanwha Eagles Jung Woo-joo.
From the first wrap-up camp since joining the team last year to this year's spring camp, it has been very smooth. Despite being a rookie, he made Samsung's coaching staff and fans excited by showing extraordinary pitching from bullpen pitching.
Bae Chan-seung also made his home stadium debut. In an exhibition game against SSG Landers held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 8th, he took the mound as the team's fourth pitcher in the top of the sixth inning. When Bae Chan-seung took the mound, more than 20,000 home spectators applauded and cheered.
Bae Chan-seung, who faced Guillermo Herredia, the first batter, played three straight fastball games. When a 152km fastball went into the middle at 2B, Herredia did not miss it and connected it with a hit to the right-center. Looking back on the situation at the time, Bae Chan-seung felt that he would get a hit as soon as he threw it. I thought I shouldn't throw it like that on two balls, and I thought I should set the count a little more from next time and play the game,' he said to himself.

Not only Samsung, the home team, but also SSG, the opposing team, expressed admiration for Bae Chan-seung's pitching. Veteran catcher Kang Min-ho, who worked with the battery, evaluated Bae Chan-seung's ball, saying, `It feels like a cannonball is flying.'
Director Park Jin-man "I was surprised when Minho came in. I think the ball is better than the camp"But he might have been nervous because it was his first appearance, but he seems to have a game management ability as he throws his ball. The expectation for Bae Chan-seung grows even greater," he praised.
In particular, even though he is now a 19-year-old player, he calmly threw a strike while maintaining his poker face without showing any signs of nervousness in front of more than 20,000 spectators.

Although he is not very tall or tall, he has infinite potential as a left-hander fireballer with outstanding pitching. Not only is it expected to grow into a key pitcher for Samsung, but it is also evaluated as a resource that can fully contribute to the national team in the future.
Bae Chan-seung first pointed out his disappointment through the exhibition game. He said that it was difficult to overwhelm in the profession with two-pitch fastballs and sliders, and that he eventually realized that he had to wear changeups and two-seam.
He said "It was really nice to hear the cheers at Lions Park, where I came as a spectator"You have to do better than you do now. Whenever I go on the mound, I want to be a reliable pitcher" he said.
