Second-year right-hander Lee Ho-seong, who will lead the future of Samsung's starting lineup, showed poor performance in four consecutive games. Will Samsung give Lee Ho-seong one more chance? Or should we hire ‘super rookie’ Yook Seon-yeop?
Lee Ho-seong, who was a candidate for the 5th starting selection this season, played in the Futures starting rotation and waited for the call to the first team. He joined the first team starting lineup in place of left-hander Baek Jeong-hyun, who was out of action due to a left calf injury. Ho-seong Lee, who started as a starter against Gwangju KIA on the 7th, which was his first appearance of the season, allowed 3 hits, 3 walks, 2 strikeouts, and 3 runs in 3 innings.
Lee Ho-seong, who recorded 3 hits, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts, and 1 run in 3 innings against Daegu NC on the 13th, suffered his first loss of the season against Hanwha on the 19th with 4 hits, 2 walks, 1 strikeout, and 1 run in 2⅔ innings.
Samsung selected Lee Ho-seong as the starter against LG in Daegu on the 25th. Before the game, Coach Park Jin-man said, “As a starting pitcher, I have pitched too short, but today I plan to increase the number of pitches. Ho-Seong Lee is a player who should be a part of the starting lineup. “I plan to trust and leave it to him regardless of the outcome,” he said.
Ho-Seong Lee, who was on the starting mound, had two hits in the first inning, but finished the inning without allowing any runs. Lee Ho-seong, who gave up a heavy hit to the first batter, Hong Chang-gi, struck out Park Hae-min with a missed swing. He gave up a right-handed hit after a full count with Kim Hyun-soo. Right fielder Lee Seong-gyu threw a clothesline throw, putting the lead runner Hong Chang-ki out at third base. Soon after, Austin Dean was hit with a fly ball to right field.
Lee Ho-seong, who struck out Moon Bo-kyung and Kim Beom-seok each in the second inning and threw a fly ball to center field, allowed Oh Ji-hwan to hit a solo arc with two outs. At a ball count of 1B-0S, he threw a fastball (142km) on the second pitch, which resulted in a home run. Ho-Seong Lee finished the second inning pitch by inducing Heo Do-Hwan to a foul fly to third baseman.
In the third inning, Lee Ho-seong guided lead hitter Shin Min-jae to a grounder to shortstop and then struck out Hong Chang-gi. After two outs, Park Hae-min's triple that passed the center fielder's height and Kim Hyun-soo's heavy hit gave up one more point. Austin allowed a hit, increasing the number of runners to two. Ho-Seong Lee threw Moon Bo-Kyung on a fly ball to left field.
Ho-seong Lee turned leadoff hitter Beom-seok Kim in the fourth inning with a catcher's strike and not an out. Lee Ho-seong, who gave up a walk to Oh Ji-hwan, whiffed with a slider on the 6th pitch with Heo Do-hwan and the ball count was 2B-2S. Lee Ho-seong was in danger of the bases being loaded with two outs due to Shin Min-jae's hit to right and Hong Chang-ki's walk. He was replaced by left-hander Choi Seong-hoon. The new pitcher, Choi Seong-hoon, ended the inning by striking out Park Hae-min.
