The date of the Samsung Lions' new foreign pitcher, Kherson Garabito, has been confirmed. It will be the match against Hanwha in Daegu on the 26th.
Initially, Garabito was scheduled to play in the Futures League on the 22nd after checking his condition. Therefore, the head coach was also worried, saying, `If the Futures game is delayed due to rain, the first team game could be delayed.'
As predicted, the game against the Lotte Giants' second division, which was scheduled for this day, was canceled by rain. However, Garabito will start the game against the Hanwha Eagles on the 26th as scheduled.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man, who met at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the day, said "I couldn't play today, but the mound and at-bat were conditions for training." So I played live pitching twice (14 pitches, 19 pitches). The maximum speed was 152 km", he explained.

He then decided to take the mound against Hanwha normally. I received reports that he had good balance, good speed, and good pitching. If it was a real game today, I think I would have been more restrained", he explained. For Samsung, which kicked out Denny Reyes and recruited Garabito, they want him to join the first team mound as soon as possible.
Choi Won-tae, who was delayed due to the cancellation of rain, will take the mound against Hanwha on the 24th. Head coach Park Jin-man replied, `Won Tae-in had fewer pitches in the previous game, and he had strength because he rested once, while Choi Won-tae had a steady rotation, so he gave him a break for about two days.'
Starting with the match against Hanwha, Samsung operates a proper five-starter system. Next week, starting pitchers will take the mound in the order of Choi Won-tae, Furado, Garabito, Lee Seung-hyun and Won Tae-in.
"That's a relief. I've overcome the difficult time of using two substitute starters, and I think there's only work left to go up."

On this day, Kang Min-ho, the main catcher, was unable to play because he had a gall in the back of his neck. Instead, Kim Jae-sung wore a starting mask. Just in case, the third catcher Lee Byung-hun also registered for the first team.
Lee Jae-hyun's hamstring has improved a lot, but he will manage it until this day. Depending on the situation, I decided to consider it as a substitute.
