Samsung Lions pitcher Lee Ho-sung (21) postponed his enlistment in Sangmu to win the team.

Lee Ho-sung scored his first hold in his debut against the SSG Landers at Lions Park in Daegu on the 8th, putting a stepping stone to a 7-3 victory.

In a post-match broadcast interview, Lee Ho-sung said "After consulting with the club, I decided to give up my enlistment in Sangmu scheduled for May 12 and play until the end of the season." Lee Ho-sung, who has established himself as a must-win group with a fastball over 150km, sharp slider and large angle curve, will be able to make Samsung's bid for victory this season.




It was a big decision after much consideration. Sangmu is not a place for everyone to go. It is considered the best option for players in solving military service as it can consistently play actual games in the Futures League. That's how fierce the competition is.

It was also a point of concern for Lee Ho-sung, who passed the first round proudly.

After graduating from Incheon High School, he is a top prospect who will wear a Samsung uniform as the eighth-ranked player in the first round in 2023. I haven't shown much in the first team in the last two years. He had 3 wins and 4 losses in 62 innings in 21 games and a 6.10 ERA.




I decided to join the military as I had to serve in the military anyway. After serving in the military, he was determined to win in a stable condition.

But I prepared well last winter. The power of the ball doubled when he opened his eyes to the smooth center movement using the height of the mound.

The speed has increased, and the tip of the cheek has become more powerful. On top of that, as the bullpen position was confirmed, short innings of full pitching became possible.

He is growing into an untouchable pitcher with his unique strong pitching and sharp breaking balls.




If he continues to play games and gain confidence, he will be able to become a setup man like Ahn Ji-man in the past. Along with Lee Jae-hee and Bae Chan-seung, the rookie troika is giving young energy to Samsung's bullpen, which has many veterans.

Samsung, which dreams of winning this season, has been worried about Lee Ho-sung's pitching, which is getting better and better.

Samsung manager Park Jin-man, who watched Lee Ho-sung's stormy growth early in the camp, said, `Depending on the situation, we may postpone joining Sangmu" he tipped off. He slowed down due to a minor side injury at the end of the camp, but he recovered quickly and joined the exhibition game.

The ball is back, too. a steep upward curve as the economy continues. Now his decision was important. I consulted with the club and accepted the suggestion "Isn't it a waste?", and made a final decision.

Samsung, which still has concerns about the bullpen, is all in the air.

Young troika, including Lee Ho-sung, is expected to become stronger and stronger as they gain experience. In fact, Lee Ho-sung has been on a no-hit streak for six consecutive games since he held a strong reporting ceremony of three hits and two runs, including a home run in one inning against Kiwoom, on the 22nd of last month. In five ⅔ innings, he allowed only two walks without hitting. Five of the six games are on a perfect one-inning streak. He has allowed two runs and an ERA of 2.70 in seven games and six ⅔ this season.

He struck out 11 times. It's a remarkable strikeout rate of about 15 per nine innings.

With experience in various situations, he can become a relief pitcher in the future. He is calm in character and has good ability to cope with crises.

He may feel the reward of delaying Sangmu right away this season. He is a promising player who can quickly become No. 1 in the bullpen like his number. He is expected to be a bullpen pitcher for young fire bowlers.
