Samsung put three starting pitchers in turn Ariel Furado, Won Tae-in and Danny Reyes in the three consecutive games of the 2025 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League against the Doosan Bears held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul from the 28th to the 30th. The native ace Won Tae-in and Reyes were the first starting games of this season. It was the three consecutive games in which Samsung started the first to third starters this season.먹튀검증

The result was a huge success. The atmosphere has been changed along with the entire team. As the three players performed well side by side, Samsung's starting pitchers have become even scarier in the new season.

Samsung started the opening six consecutive games with "injury ward." Won Tae-in, the "native ace" who suffered a broken shoulder joint in the Korean Series last year, devoted himself to off-season recovery and rehabilitation training but failed to take the starting mound for the opening three consecutive games. Reyes also joined the team belatedly after suffering a fractured right metatarsal fine fatigue at the spring camp held in Okinawa, Japan, in February.

Samsung, which had its opening game without the two starting pitchers, formed a starting rotation of Hurado and Choi Won-tae, and left-handers Lee Seung-hyeon and Baek Jeong-hyeon and Kim Dae-ho. Among the five players, Hurado was the only one who produced satisfactory results at the opening game (against the Kiwoom Heroes) on Tuesday. He became the winning pitcher by allowing two runs in six innings. Baek Jung-hyun (two runs in two ⅔ innings against Kiwoom on Sunday), Choi Won-tae (four runs in five innings against the NC Dinos on Saturday), left-hander Lee Seung-hyun (five runs in three ⅔ innings against NC on Sunday) and Kim Dae-ho (four runs in three ⅔ innings against NC on Sunday) showed sluggish performance.

Fortunately, Won Tae-in and Reyes quickly announced their return. Hurado took the mound as starting pitchers in three consecutive games over the weekend. Samsung coach Park Jin-man said at the time, "If the two players return, the starting lineup (which was sluggish) will also be in shape," expecting a rebound.

For now, Furado made a good start. After starting the first game against Doosan on the 28th, Furado threw 99 pitches in eight innings, allowing four hits, one walk, and two runs with 11 strikeouts, taking the mound alone. He became a losing pitcher unfairly as the batters remained scoreless, but it was a game that proved why Samsung recruited Furado.
Won Tae-in, who returned to the starting lineup the next day (29th), also pitched well. Throwing 78 pitches during five innings, he showed good performance by allowing three hits, one walk, four strikeouts and two runs. Throwing more than 150 kilometers of pitches in cold weather proved he returned healthy. He returned healthy afterwards by allowing 67 pitches, three hits, no outs, five strikeouts and two runs in five innings until Reyes on Saturday. He is also a starting member of Samsung that has complete health and skills.

As Samsung's starting lineup is completely integrated, the team will likely be able to regain momentum in its management of the mound. As the starting pitchers have been on the mound, the bullpen has had difficulty in starting early and putting in more pitchers. However, if the starting lineup, which can handle more than six innings, is properly operated, the team can also effectively manage the bullpen. Now, the team can also seek to revive the bullpen, which is considered a somewhat weaker team compared to the starting lineup.

Currently, Samsung ranks eighth in the league with an ERA of 5.07 in eight games. Compared to last year when it was the runner-up at ERA of 4.68, third place, Samsung is still lacking. As the starting lineup became the top, however, the frustrating performance will also likely improve.
