The Samsung Lions have begun to look at the starting lineup of 'Complete'.

Samsung recruited Choi Won-tae as an FA this season, forming a solid five starters leading to Ariel Furado, Denny Reyes, Won Tae-in, Choi Won-tae and left-hander Lee Seung-hyun.

Although it was evaluated as the strongest in the league, variables occurred everywhere. Reyes returned home early in spring camp as he felt pain in his foot.




It wasn't until the end of March that five starters returned to their first plans of the season, but Reyes suffered shoulder pain against KT on the 13th and was canceled from the first team the next day and had a break. Left-hander Lee Seung-hyun was also absent from the entry the next day as he was sluggish with seven runs in five innings against Lotte on the 18th.

Reyes returned to the game against Daegu NC on the 27th. The content was not bad either. He pitched five innings with two hits, four outs, two strikeouts and no runs. He seemed to have regained his condition perfectly as the maximum speed was 149km.

Samsung coach Park Jin-man said, `Reyes came up after a long time, and he had good pitching and speed. The worry was after the toss. I think I can go to the next rotation because there is no problem."

Left-hander Lee Seung-hyun also accelerated his return. While Reyes was out, Kim Dae-ho came out as an alternative starter for Samsung. Kim Dae-ho was shaken by two runs in ⅔ innings against NC on the 25th and returned to reorganization in the Futures League the next day.

It's Lee Seung-hyun's turn to come back. Lee Seung-hyun pitched in two innings against LG and Futures on the 25th, and is currently in the first division. Lee Seung-hyun is scheduled to take the mound against Incheon SSG on the 1st. Coach Park said, `Left-hander Lee Seung-hyun will be in the position without Kim Dae-ho.'

The plan for the nine-game series has been completed to some extent. KBO has scheduled a nine-game series that will be played on Monday, May 5, and Thursday, the 8th, will be a day off.




Coach Park said, `I'm thinking of alternative selection on Sunday. If you don't use alternative selection, about three people have to rest for four days and go into the fifth day, which is burdensome. So I'm going to take a five-day break and go into the sixth day after using the alternate starter "I'm talking to Futures. Jung Min-sung is said to have the best ball power and condition as a starter in Futures. I'm planning on Jung Min-sung, but I'm going to watch him for now."

Jung Min-sung, who joined Samsung in the fourth round (34th overall) of the rookie draft in 2024, pitched 32 ⅔ innings in seven games in the Futures League this season, recording 3 wins, 1 loss and an ERA of 3.58. All of the last three consecutive games have been pitching quality starts (more than 6 innings and less than 3 earned runs) and are waiting for the opportunity.
