Doosan Bears pitcher Lee Young-ha (26), a professional baseball Doosan Bears pitcher who played as a bullpen player in the first team but was moved down to the second team due to repeated poor performance, started in the Futures (second team) league game and pitched well.
Lee Young-ha took the mound in the second game of the Futures League home doubleheader against Goyang Heroes (Kiwoom’s Futures Team) held at Bears Park in Icheon on the 4th, and gave up 6 hits and 2 walks while going 5⅔ innings, allowing 2 runs (1 earned).
He threw 99 balls and struck out 7.
Lee Young-ha, who competed for the starting spot in the early part of spring camp and exhibition games, started the 2024 season with an ‘intermediate relief pitch’. 토토사이트 추천
However, he performed poorly in 3 first-team games this year, allowing 10 hits, 4 runs, and 3 earned runs in 3⅓ innings, with an ERA of 8.10, and was sent down to the second-team on April 1.
Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop said, “Lee Young-ha will first pitch as a starting pitcher in the second team and check his pitching status.”
This does not solidify Lee Young-ha’s position as a starting pitcher.
Coach Lee said, “Lee Young-ha is a pitcher who has experience in both starting and bullpen positions.
He explained, “Considering Lee Young-ha’s position, first-team situation, etc., we will decide what position to use Lee Young-ha the next time he is promoted to the first team.”
Kim Geon-hee (Kiwoom), who is testing his ability to double as a pitcher, started on the mound for the first time this year in a Futures League game.
As a batter , Kim Kun-hee appeared in 3 games in the Futures League this year, allowing 3 hits, 4 runs, and 1 earned run in 3 innings, recording 4 hits in 9 at-bats (batting average of 0.444) and 3 RBIs.
Kim Kun-hee, who started his professional career last year, entered the first team only as a batsman in his first year (2023) and hit 2 hits in 11 at-bats (batting average of 0.182) in 9 games.
In the 2023 Futures League, he recorded a batting average of 0.254 (35 hits in 138 at-bats), 1 home run, and 19 RBI in 47 games as a batter, and an ERA of 9.69 (14 runs in 13 innings) in 14 games as a pitcher with 2 wins and 1 hold.
This year too, Kim Kun-hee is going back and forth between the mound and the at-bat in the second team.
