‘ERA 5.58 → 24.55’ Lee Ho -sung is in desperate need of rebound… Samsung time flows tightly (SS attention)

Sports | baseball

(Sports Seoul | Reporter Lee So -young) Samsung bullpen has a huge red light. Lee Ho -sung (21) is collapsing. There was also a change in position, but there is no sign of rebound.

Recently, Lee Ho -sung’s sluggishness is not unusual. Starting from the NC war on July 10, he could allow more than two runs in one inning, and he still shakes even after returning to the injury for a while.

Lee Ho -sung, who joined Samsung in the first round of the first round in 2023, won the first stage in 2023 and wrote one win in four games and 2.65 ERA. However, in 2024, he played 16 games in a total of 16 games and scored 2 wins and 4 losses and an average ERA of 7.40.

In the early days of this season, Lee Ho -sung was filled with Kim Jae -yun, who was a finishing pitcher. This is because Kim Jae -yun was caught in the hunting. Although there was a lot of concern, Lee Ho -sung, who changed his job in May, showed more than expected performance, saying that he was “worn clothes.” In May -June, the average ERA was 4.26 and 2.08, respectively.

But in July, it began to shake rapidly. In particular, on July 27, the team was not only shocked by the team’s 0-3, but also a shock reversal with four runs in 0.1 innings. Won Tae-in’s seven-inning without a starter, as well as Bae Chan-seung (0.1 innings), Lee Seung-hyun (0.2 innings), and Kim Tae-hoon (0.1).

On the 13th and the 17th, Lotte and 17th, the 0.1 innings were collapsed. Most of all, he was shocked by the fact that he could not catch one out count in the 17th. He scored three runs in 0.1 innings, and as soon as he was on the mound, he won the opposing team with a second run.

The first half and the second half of the year are also clear. In the first half, he wrote 39 games, 5 wins, 3 losses, 8 saves and 3 holds and 5.58 ERA. On the other hand, in the second half, seven games, one loss 1 saves, and an average ERA of 24.55. Looking at the recent 10 games, it seems that there is no clue to rebound with 6.2 innings and an average ERA of 18.90.

The biggest problem is that Samsung can’t afford to wait for Lee Ho -sung. Samsung is the eighth place in the league (53 wins, 2 draws and 58 losses, 0.477). The gap with KIA-KT-NC, which is tied for fifth place, is 2.5 games, but there is still a ‘hope’, but worries are ahead of bullpen fire.

Lee Ho -sung’s resurrection is urgently needed in the situation where the main pills are out of injury. The longer the sluggishness, the deeper Samsung’s concerns will be deepened. sshong@sportsseoul.com
