Doosan Bears foreign pitcher Colerbin will start against the Samsung Lions in the 2025 KBO League at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 17th. Colerbin threw 81 pitches and rested in the previous game. I wonder if I will show more responsibility this time. There is also a history of Park Byung-hwa's war of nerves, so there are many things to see.
Colerbin is a big pitcher that Doosan ambitiously recruited ahead of this season. It guaranteed the full amount of 1 million dollars (about 1.4 billion won) for the first season. Colerbin was an active big leaguer who pitched 111 innings in the major leagues in 2024. That's how high the expectations were.
When the lid was opened, the performance was disappointing compared to 'body value'. Colervin went 5-6 with a 4.05 ERA in 13 games and 73 ⅓ innings. He has 4.30 walks per nine innings. He is the highest pitcher in the regular innings. He is also No. 1 with 12 balls that fit his body. Due to the severe ups and downs, he went up to the second division, which is unusual for a foreign pitcher.
It was a return match against Daejeon Hanwha on the 10th. Colerbin, who was removed from the first team on May 30, took the mound after more than 10 days off. Colerbin pitched six innings of one run. However, in the seventh inning when Colerbin went down, Doosan lost 5 points and lost 2-6.
At the time, acting Doosan manager Cho Sung-hwan said, `I thought it would be nice to take the mound in the seventh inning as well. I asked because I thought I might have some strength because it was my first time in 10 days. He explained the background of the replacement in 81 pitches.

Samsung and `Rapak' are not unfamiliar. Colervin took the mound in the exhibition game against Rafak Samsung on March 10. At that time, he pitched well with three scoreless innings. In the regular season, he faced Samsung in Jamsil on March 28. He signed his first win of the season with seven scoreless innings.
Colerbin had an argument with Park Byung-ho during the Jamsil Samsung match. Colerbin said there was a misunderstanding at the time and that he would learn more and respect Korean culture. The next day, he visited Park in person and apologized. A rematch is expected for the first time since then, drawing attention to what it will look like.
