Lee Seung-min, the power of 45 stone legs to the bullpen trio, is Samsung a reliable man

Samsung turned the game around from 0-3 against LG in Daegu to 7-3 on the 23rd. It was crucial that the team drove in seven runs including Lee Sung-kyu's upset grand slam in the bottom of the sixth inning, but it was also impressive that left-hander Lee Seung-min, who took the mound in the sixth inning after starting pitcher Reyes finished five innings, allowed no hits, including three strikeouts, in the second inning. Lee won his first win of the season.

Lee Seung-min (22), a fifth-year veteran of the 2020 second and fourth rounds, started the season as an "alternative starter," but failed to produce notable results. Even in a game where he got off to a decent start, the batting order tended to get hit hard after turning once or twice.

The reason why Lee Seung-min was selected as an alternative starting card in the absence of the main starters was because of his ability to control and use breaking balls. In fact, Lee Seung-min's average fastball speed, which is 47.7% this season, is slow at 135km (based on Sports II), but he throws a proper mix of breaking balls, including sliders (20.6%), changeups (20.9%), and curves (10.8%).

For example, it is a type that is difficult to enter with a goal in the first meeting. The record highlighted in this section is Lee Seung-min's performance by the number of pitches. This season, Lee Seung-min's hit rate fluctuated according to the number of pitches in the process of making three starts prior to the match against LG on the 23rd.

While the hit rate remained at only 0.182 for the first to 15th pitches, the POPS was overwhelming at 0.523. He took the lead with a hit rate of 0.222 for the 16th to 30th pitches, and fought even for the 45th to the next with a hit rate of 0.273.

Lee struggled in the next stage almost every time. While throwing between 46 and 60 pitches, his hit rate soared to 0.556 (five hits in nine at-bats) and he faltered. His hit rate was as bad as 0.600 (6 hits in 10 at-bats) in the 61 to 75 pitches.

Lee threw 35 pitches during two innings at the match against LG on Sunday, when he exceeded the bench's expectations. Perhaps, on the Samsung bench, Lee sought answers to Lee's instructions on how to use Lee Seung-min. He displayed neat performance as he allowed only one walk to Oh Ji-hwan while dealing with seven batters. This allowed Samsung to take the lead in the sixth inning and continue its lead until the end of the game.

Samsung is making several attempts to stabilize its starting lineup. When left-hander Baek Jung-hyun, who is absent from the roster due to a calf injury, returns to the starting lineup in May, the team expects its rotation to stabilize. However, in preparation for various aspects of games, it is inevitable that the team needs "middle man" or "long man" resources to connect a starting pitcher to a winning bullpen session. This role is all the more vital for Samsung to safely utilize the newly formed bullpen pitcher lineup (Oh Seung-hwan, Kim Jae-yoon, and Lim Chang-min).

Lee Seung-min, who blocked two innings in the game with mid-range pitching, is becoming a "hint." His power of 45 pitches is being highlighted.
