The Samsung Lions have set up time to foster future resources.

Samsung announced on the 6th that it will send four players to the Australian League (ABL).




Left-hander Lee Seung-hyun and outfielder Soo-ho will leave the country to participate in the ABL on the 7th. Lee Seung-hyun and Soo Soo-ho are members of the Brisbane Bandits club based in Brisbane, Australia, and plan to play the first half of the league (1st to 5th rounds).

ABL will open on the 13th. Four games per round (a week) will be played for 10 rounds. The Bandits are one of four teams participating in the league.

Left-hander Lee Seung-hyun joined Samsung with the first nomination of the rookie draft in 2021 and played in 189 games in five seasons with a 14-25 record and 4.88 ERA. He has played in 25 games this season, recording 4 wins, 9 losses and a 5.42 ERA.




Outfielder Soo-ho joined Samsung in the fourth round (33rd overall) of the rookie draft in 2025. He played in six games in the first team this year and hit 2.14 percent, and in the Futures League, he played in 85 games and left a batting average of 265, five home runs and 38 RBIs.

Lee and Soo-ho are scheduled to return home on Dec. 16 after completing their five-round schedule.

On December 15, a day earlier, outfielder Ryu Seung-min and one pitcher (selected later) who are scheduled to return from Sangmu will leave the country and will also play after the sixth round as a member of Bandits. The members of the second half of the year are scheduled to return home on January 20 next year.




In addition, three team support personnel will accompany the team to help the players there.

Samsung is providing opportunities for young players to check and improve their skills through overseas league experience", he explained.

Samsung has been working with the Bandits for two consecutive years. Last winter, players such as pitcher Yuk Sun-yeop, Kim Dae-ho, and Park Joo-hyuk were dispatched.
