“Song Eun-beom is said to have good pitching.”
Another reliever is ready to come to the Samsung Lions led by head coach Park Jin-man. It is veteran pitcher Song Eun-beom.
Song, who was released by LG after the end of last season with a record of 2.45 in four games, was contacted by Samsung in mid-May and joined the Gyeongsan Ballpark rehabilitation team. After consistently conducting systematic training, Song passed the club’s final test through ball control and live pitching in mid-July. He signed with Samsung on the condition that he received 80 million won. 메이저놀이터
Song Eun-beom, who made his debut in the Samsung uniform in the KIA second division match held at Hampyeong Stadium on July 27, recorded a 7.59 ERA with one hold in eight games in the Futures League. It is not only because he has many runs due to three runs and five runs (four earned runs) in the games he lost, but he has five scoreless games. In particular, he has pitched well without allowing any runs in the last three games. He can play multiple innings as well as one inning.
Coach Park Jin-man, who has calculated that Song’s ball power has risen to a certain extent, has let Song join the first team squad along with Oh Seung-hwan, who will join the first team entry on the 26th. He believes he will see it and see it for himself.
Song Eun-beom pitched in front of head coach and pitching coach Jung Dae-hyun just before the game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 27th, and coach Jung Dae-hyun showed satisfaction.
Coach Park Jin-man said, “Song Eun-beom has not been able to play many actual games. He had a long break. I played many games in the Futures League and called him because I heard his pitching was okay.”
“The pitching coach saw it in person and said it was okay. After the three consecutive games against Kiwoom, there is not a game every day. I want to check the team’s situation after seeing the starting pitcher Lee Seung-min throw on the 27th,” he said.
He rested for more than a year. Song’s last first-team game was against the Lotte Giants on July 8, 2023, when he was a member of the LG Twins. Even if he took the strongest baseball test and played the Futures game, the team feels nervous again.
However, coach Park Jin-man said, “He has sufficient experience. If he has good pitching capability, there is no reason not to use him. He can also use his pitching form as a must-winner. Of course, once he enters the first team entry, he should analyze and confirm his pitching capability. If it’s good, it’s good for us to have many options. It’s important to check the pitch after throwing it.”
Song Eun-beom achieved his dream of making a professional debut by joining the SK Wyverns (current SSG Landers) as the first nomination in 2003. Song Eun-beom, who continued his active career with the SK-KIA Tigers, Hanwha Eagles, and LG, recorded an 88-95 record, 27 saves, 57 holds and an ERA of 4.57 in 680 KBO league games. In the 2009 season, he won 12 games, and in the 2018 season, he played as a must-win player for Hanwha and grabbed 10 holds.
Song’s years of experience will be a big boost to Samsung, which is waiting for the fall baseball season. Will Song be able to show his previous side in the first division? Samsung fans are also looking forward to it.
