The Samsung Lions surprisingly recruited veteran right-hander Song Eun-beom (40) in late July. He was virtually retired after being excluded from the LG Twins' list of players after last season, but he wore a Samsung uniform after testing.
At that time, Samsung repeatedly suffered a come-from-behind defeat in the main bullpen, such as Oh Seung-hwan, Kim Jae-yoon, and Lim Chang-min, as if they were physically exhausted. He brought experienced Song Eun-beom for insurance, but it is true that there was a question mark of "Why? Why?" It was questionable how long he would be able to perform because he was 40 years old and had a gap in practice for more than a year.
As expected, Song started off on a shaky ground in the Futures League. He started the game by allowing three hits and two runs in one inning against KIA on July 27, his first game, and was hit hard by four hits (one homer) and five runs (four earned) in one inning against KIA on Aug. 9. Two days later, the match against KIA on Aug. 11 collapsed by allowing two hits, three walks and three runs in one ⅓.
However, he allowed no runs in three consecutive games, and was called by the first team on Aug. 29. At that time, Song had an ERA of 7.59, but in the first team, he pitched better than expected. At first, he took charge of the chasing team in a relaxed mood, but displayed stability by pitching well to catch guesses. He was deployed even when he won after mid-September, and posted two holds. He had an ERA of 1.08.8 ⅓ in nine games, two hits and one walk, striking out and conceding only one run.
The specimen was not large but stable. Samsung manager Park Jin-man also said, "He is a pitcher with extensive experience and his ball control is stable. His ball control was a problem, but he showed a lot of improvement. He gives us the necessary pitching when our team needs it. Since he has a lot of experience in big games, I look forward to his future use as a follow-up team." He proved his value as a follow-up team, even if he is not a must-win team.
However, Song Eun-beom was sluggish in the final game of the Futures League season against KT held at Gyeongsan Ball Park on the 5th. Song Eun-beom, who took the mound as the second pitcher in the top of the second inning, handled Ahn Hyun-min to the right field and received a hit from Lee Seung-hyun. Song Eun-beom, who struck out Kim Chul-ho swinging, gave up a walk to An Chi-young and faced a crisis with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, but struck out Shin Ho-joon and stopped the first inning without losing a point.
However, he allowed a hit to the left-center field to lead off the third inning and stole second base. He then gave up four runs after Kwon Dong-jin had an RBI double to left-center, Kang Min-sung had an RBI single to center, and Choi Sung-min had a two-run home run to right-center field. Song, who sent Ahn out to center field with a fly ball, went down the mound with a total of 49 pitches.
Song allowed five hits (one homer) with one walk, two strikeouts and four runs during the first ⅓ innings, and suffered a loss along with Samsung's 3-6 defeat. He finished the Futures League with an ERA of 9.75.
Although the results of the game were not good, the Futures League performance does not seem to mean much to Song Eun-beom, who was verified in the first team. Rather, the number of pitches close to 50 is noteworthy. Depending on the situation in autumn baseball, there is a possibility that it can be used as a long relief.
Samsung's bullpen pitcher Choi Ji-kwang was out for the season due to elbow ligament damage in the middle of last month, and Yuk Sun-yeop and Choi Ha-neul left the Miyazaki Education League in Japan. Song Eun-beom is expected to enter the playoff entry unless there are major variables. 토토사이트
Song has extensive experience in fall baseball. He played in fall baseball for SK, Hanwha, and LG 10 times. His overall postseason performance was 1.90 ERA with four wins, three losses and one save and two holds in 23 games (seven starts and 47 ⅓ innings). Notably, as a member of the SK dynasty, he pitched well in 12 games (four starts and 26 innings) with three wins, one loss and two holds and 2.08 ERA in the Korean Series alone. He has displayed strength in big games and won the title three times. Although his heyday has passed, I wonder if Song's contributions will be successful in Samsung.
