The Samsung Lions 'all-in' to the pitcher in the 2026 rookie draft. Samsung coach Park Jin-man said he did not specifically convey his opinion on the field regarding the draft.

Coach Park Jin-man talked about the draft ahead of the 2025 KBO League Lotte Giants match at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 17th.

The 2026 KBO Rookie Draft was held at Lotte Hotel in Seoul from 2 p.m. that day. Samsung spent as many as nine out of 11 nominations on pitchers. Among the 10 clubs, he picked the most pitchers. Zero outfielders and one infielder and catcher each were named.




Coach Park Jin-man entrusted the draft to the club.

Manager Park Jin-man hinted at the background of focusing on pitchers, saying, `All of our fielders are young.'

Director Park Jin-man said, `We did not deliver any special opinions this year. I did a little last year. This year, it is now clear where we are lacking. That's why I think I picked a lot of pitchers."




Samsung is not in a hurry to type. Koo Ja-wook (32), the oldest player in the outfield, was born in 1993 and is in his early 30s. Kim Sung-yoon (26) and Kim Ji-chan (24) also have a long way to go. Infielders Lee Jae-hyun (22) and Kim Young-woong (22) are in their early 20s. Ryu Ji-hyuk (30) is also in the first year of his FA contract this year.

Lee Ho-beom, a right-hander from Seoul High School, was named as the ninth overall in the first round of Samsung Un. He swept all the pitchers until the sixth round. After selecting Seongnam High School catcher Lee Seo-joon and Song Won-dae infielder Lim Joo-chan in the seventh round, he focused on the pitcher again.

Samsung has exposed its weaknesses, especially in middle pitchers, this year. This year's rookie Bae Chan-seung immediately played all out and played 61 games and 48 innings. Samsung expects to discover a second Bae Chan-seung.




Samsung ranks fifth in the league with a team ERA of 4.11 this year.

Although it is at the middle level, it is the last place with 22 team saves. Doosan Bears' Kim Taek-yeon made 23 saves alone. The success rate of saves and holds is also low at 76.9%. I'm seventh in the league.
