Samsung manager Park Jin-man said this before the match against KIA in Gwangju on the 15th.
Young pitchers to cover the veteran must-win group. We need to protect the physical strength of experienced veterans and beat the opponent's batters with strong power. Initially, Kim Moo-shin (Kim Yoon-soo) was at the forefront. However, he unfortunately ended the season by going on the operating table due to an elbow injury during the camp. Bae Chan-seung (19) and Lee Jae-hee (24) are the fire bowler duo who are at the forefront of the Yeonggun bullpen. The two pitchers with the highest probability of joining the must-win group. He is a left and right fireballer who overwhelms the opponent's batters by spraying a strong ball of 153km.
Proved sufficient competitiveness throughout the camp.
Bae Chan-seung is aiming for the season by taking the mound in two exhibition games. However, Lee Jae-hee disappeared from the first team stage after returning home.
There is no exhibition game yet. What's going on.
Lee Jae-hee was at Gyeongsan Ball Park for a Futures League game on the same day. He took the mound as the second pitcher in an exhibition game against NC. When starting pitcher Jung Min-sung was on the verge of additional runs in the fourth inning, trailing 0-1, he took the mound in relief and struck out Seo Jun-kyo.
Lee Jae-hee, who struck out Park Han-gyeol and Kim Hui-jip in the fifth inning and continued his strikeout streak with three consecutive batters, handled Kim Bum-joon with a fly ball and finished the inning lightly.
Three strikeouts in one ⅓ and one perfect pitch. Four batters were completed in just 18 pitches. In the meantime, Samsung's batters succeeded in turning the tables and won their first Futures League victory with a score of 6-2. Lee Jae-hee made a redemption victory.
He took away the timing by mixing a slider with a maximum fastball speed of 149km and a maximum speed of 141km and a fork ball of 138km.

Head coach Park Jin-man said "The part he had was a little bad. I took care of it for a while to protect my elbow. It's coming up a lot. He will take the mound in a Futures League game today (15th). I think I'll be able to come in just in time for the opening", he predicted.
A retired pitcher who was discharged from Sangmu.
He is a player who dreams of becoming a Korean Ohtani and tries to learn everything. A heavy fastball with a maximum speed of 150km or more is attractive.
Lee Jae-hee said during the camp, "The speed, which came out once before going to the army, was about 141,142km during the game, reached a maximum speed of 153km last year and shot 151,152km in almost every game. It didn't fall well below 147-149km, so I'm preparing hard to maintain that restraint for a year", he explained.
A right-hander fireballer who can bring out explosive speed by throwing a short inning out of the bullpen. He has increased his muscle mass by living regularly in Sangmu and competitively weight training with SSG pitcher Kim Gun-woo. This is the background in which the ball power has become stronger as it weighs well over 100kg.
Coach Park Jin-man expressed expectations, saying, `There were many balls out of the strike zone in the past, but now I have a sense of stability.'
