Doosan Bears foreign pitcher Colerbin collapsed without completing the third inning.

Colerbin started against the Samsung Lions in the 2025 KBO League at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 17th and suffered 13 hits and eight runs in two ⅔ innings.

Colerbin had a great name value. It was an active player who pitched 111 innings in the major leagues in 2024. Doosan guaranteed Colerbin 1 million dollars (about 1.4 billion won) in full.




Colervin showed off a truly terrifying pitch from spring camp to exhibition games. In the exhibition game against Rafak Samsung on March 10, he pitched a perfect pitch without losing a point in three innings with only one hit. On March 28 of the regular season, Samsung also pitched seven scoreless innings.

From Samsung coach Park Jin-man's point of view, Cole Irvin was bound to be afraid. After watching the pitching in the exhibition game, he said, `Why did such a pitcher come to Korea?'

Coach Park Jin-man was also cautious ahead of the game. Manager Park Jin-man pitched so well that he wondered why such a pitcher came to Korea at the time. Still, I think my coping ability will improve because I've experienced it once or twice."




Colerbin actually had a lot of ups and downs after the Samsung match at the beginning of the season. In the last five games, they have lost only four games without a win. He was 5 wins and 6 losses with a 4.05 ERA in the season.

Samsung hitters met Park Jin-man's expectations perfectly.

Samsung scored two runs from the first inning. With one out and runners on the first and third bases, Diaz exploded a sweeping double over the center fielder's height.




He added four runs in the second inning. With the bases loaded with no outs, Koo Ja-wook hit a timely two-run left-handed hit. Kang Min-ho hit a two-run home run.

Colerbin, who had already thrown nearly 80 pitches by the second inning, also took the mound in the bottom of the third inning.

Samsung's leadoff hitter Park Seung-gyu fired a superior solo shot. Park Seung-gyu hit a home run for the first time in 1,384 days since the match against KIA in Gwangju on September 2, 2021.

Later, Kim Ji-chan grounded out to shortstop and Kim Sung-yoon struck out.

After two outs, Koo Ja-wook hit the right-handed hit and Diaz hit the right-handed hit again, and the runners piled up again. With two outs and runners on first and second bases, Doosan's bench also showed its limit of patience.

Doosan replaced the pitcher with Kim Yoo-sung. Kim Yoo-sung got a hit by Kang Min-ho and let one successor in. Colerbin's earned run was increased to eight.

Colerbin's ERA soared to 4.86.
