Kherson Garabito, who is likely to be a new foreign pitcher for the Samsung Lions, is expected to make his debut against the Hanwha Eagles at the earliest.

Samsung manager Park Jin-man shared Garabito's schedule ahead of the 2025 KBO League Doosan Bears match at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 17th. Director Park Jin-man said, `The plan is scheduled for the middle of next week.' Samsung will play three consecutive games during the week against Hanwha at home from the 24th to the 26th. Starting on the 27th, it will be a three-game weekend series against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok.

The contract is actually in the final stages. Only medical tests are left. In the United States, the contract proceeded quickly. I decided to do a physical examination after coming to Korea. Director Park Jin-man said, `Almost all you need is an autograph. It's because I still have a medical check. So we need a little more time to finalize it."




If no special variables occur, Garabito's KBO League debut can be seen within 10 days. After completing the contract, he will throw once in the Futures League and come up to the first team. Director Park Jin-man said, `We also need to adjust to the time difference. You should also check your physical condition. I need to discuss it with the player. For now, the plan will be sometime in the middle of next week,' he said, revealing a rough schedule.

For Samsung, all two foreign pitchers were temporarily vacant. Ariel Furado was removed from the first team as a break. Two starting positions were available until he broke up with Denny Reyes and Garavito came.

Coach Park Jin-man decided to give Yang Chang-seop and Kim Dae-ho a chance.




Director Park Jin-man said, `First of all, Yang Chang-seop will come in on Thursday (19th). Kim Dae-ho will play on Friday (20th). I also thought of Hwang Dong-jae, but I decided to use it in the bullpen. If Hwang Dong-jae starts, it's Friday, and the schedule overlaps with the physical examination of Sangmu. There has been a change in consideration of that as well", he explained.

Samsung will complete its starting lineup again in just about 10 days. Choi Won-tae, who is Won-tae in Karabito, will have a normal rotation. During that period, the roles of Yang Chang-seop and Kim Dae-ho, who took the opportunity, became important.
