Storify Samsung Lions has undergone a lot of changes.

They’re off to a rocky start. The Samsung Lions have lost five straight games in a practice game against a Nippon Professional Baseball team in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.

The Samsung Lions lost 3-11 to the Yomiuri Giants of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) in an exhibition game at Naha Cellular Stadium in Okinawa, Japan, on Monday afternoon.

It was the team’s fifth loss in five camp games.

Samsung lost 4-10 against the Junichi Dragons on Nov. 11, 1-13 against the Nippon Ham Fighters on Nov. 12, 0-8 against Chiba Lotte on Nov. 14, and 3-18 in a return match against Nippon Ham on Nov. 17.

The story is not as good as the results.

The bullpen has been unreliable, giving up 60 runs in five games. That’s an average of 12 runs per game. The process of scoring runs is also frustrating. In five games, 바카라사이트 they’ve allowed 47 four-ballers. That’s 9.4 per game.

The batting lineup hasn’t been very active either. 11 runs in five games. An average of 2.2 runs per game. They totaled 28 hits, averaging 5.6 per game. But Samsung also has something to say.

First of all, they’re not 100%, especially on the mound, where they’re relying heavily on their young, fast-paced pitchers.

Choi Chae-heung, Hwang Dong-jae, Lee Seung-hyun (left-hander), Lee Ho-sung, Choi Ha-neul, and Lee Seung-min are the five starters being tested. Newcomers Connor Seabold and Denny Reyes, who are considered the No. 1-4 starters, and homegrown duo Won Tae-in and Baek Jeong-hyun have yet to make their debuts.

The bullpen is also utilizing young new faces, including Park Kwon-hoo, Kim Seo-joon, Hong Seung-won, and Hong Won-pyo. It’s hard for them to perfect their pitches. They don’t have much experience, so they often fail to get over the hump and give up runs.

The experienced bullpen trio of Oh Seung-hwan, Kim Jae-yoon, and Lim Chang-min has yet to make an appearance.

The batting lineup is also missing senior players such as Koo Ja-uk, Oh Jae-il and Ryu Ji-hyuk. Kang Min-ho only made his first appearance as a designated hitter against Yomiuri on the 18th.

There is another crucial reason why the Japanese team will be hard to beat. This is the difference in pace.

Japanese professional baseball teams are about a month faster than their Korean counterparts.

The start of the season, the exhibition games, are held about two weeks earlier. This season, Nippon Professional Baseball’s exhibition games start on March 23rd. Korea, on the other hand, will start 15 days later, on March 9th.

Unsurprisingly, Japanese players have a faster pace of practice.

By the time the Okinawa-based Samsung will play their first scrimmage against a Japanese opponent, the Japanese teams will have already played many practice games. The pitchers have a head start, but the biggest difference is the hitters’ feel for the game. That’s why Samsung has been getting blown out, no matter the opponent. “Japanese teams come in with about 10 games under their belts,” veteran infielder Ryu Ji-hyuk told the struggling rookies in the early days of practice, “and the hitters won’t be able to see the ball, and the pitchers won’t be feeling it.” The new Samsung man, Lim Chang-min, also used hyperbole, saying, “Japanese teams have the fastest pace in the world. At this point, even if an American all-star team came and played against them, they would have a hard time,” he laughed.

So, on the flip side, it’s worth noting the players who are doing well against Japanese teams right now.

It’s time to look at the pitchers more than the hitters with cycles.

Left-hander Lee Seung-hyun, who started against Yomiuri on the 18th and threw three innings of one-hit, two-run ball with a fastball and changeup that topped out at 147 mph, stands out. Lee Ho-seong, who started against Chiba Lotte on April 14 and gave up two runs on three hits and two walks with one strikeout in two innings, is also a promising prospect who will compete for the fifth spot.

Right-hander Hong Seung-won is also noteworthy for his ability to throw hard-hitting pitches.

He has appeared in three games, giving up three runs on four hits, four walks, and three strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings. He pitched 2 innings of 1 hit, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts, and no runs against the Chunichi Dragons on April 11, 1 inning of 1 hit, 2 walks, and 2 runs against the Chiba Lotte Marines on April 14, and 1⅓ innings of 2 hits, 1 walk, and 1 run against the Yomiuri Giants on April 18.

On the offensive side of the ball, the top hitter is second baseman Kim Ji-chan.

He’s been hitting the ball well thanks to his systematic weight training and aggressive approach at the plate.

In five games, Kim is 6-for-13 (.462) with three walks and two stolen bases. His slugging percentage is well over 5%, and his bulked-up body has produced two doubles. 토토사이트 추천 It’s encouraging to see that he did this against Japanese pitchers who have been on track for some time. If Kim can stabilize at second base and top of the order, Samsung’s offense could be significantly upgraded.

“It’s a shame that we haven’t won a game yet because we’re trying to do well in the tournament,” Kim said, but he also shared the team’s sentiment, saying, “We have to do well in Korea first, so we’re trying to do well now, and we’re working hard every game.”
