Starting anew at Samsung. Lee Min-ho, the founder of NC, signed a 45 million won contract with Samsung. Samsung announced on Tuesday that it has signed an annual contract with right-handed pitcher Lee Min-ho (30), for an annual salary of 45 million won. The team signed an autograph at an annual salary cut by 5 million won from the NC Dinosaurs this season, which gave them an opportunity to start anew.

Lee Min-ho was loved by NC fans as NC’s “Changdan Doongi,” who wore NC uniforms as the first designated player for the new team in the 2012 rookie draft. Lee Min-ho, who had received attention as a prospect of throwing more than 150 kilometers of fast balls, recorded 7 wins (2 losses, 2 saves, 8 holds) in 2014 and 6 wins (5 losses, 10 holds) in 2015, and showed steady growth in 2016 by winning 9 wins (9 losses, 2 saves, 3 holds) between starters and bullpen.

Having recorded five wins, one loss, three saves and six holds in 2017 and five wins, four losses and 14 saves in 2018, Lee has been away from the main league since 2019, suffering from major and minor injuries. He last pitched in 11 games in 2019. He has served in the military since then, but has not been in the main league since 2021. Meanwhile, young pitchers have grown in NC`s bullpen.

Lee pitched in the Futures League in the second half of this year. He pitched in 12 games with two wins, one save and one hold. His ERA was 7.59, which was not good. In the end, NC decided to let him go. After the season ended, NC announced his separation from him on Oct. 26. NC said, “Some players including Lee Min-ho have been notified of his release.” In 337 games for NC, he played with 33 wins, 24 losses, 31 saves, and 28 holds with a 4.88 ERA.

Lee Min-ho continued his training without giving up his dream of extending his active duty and was tested by Samsung before reaching a contract. Samsung said it recruited Lee Min-ho to strengthen its bullpen pitcher’s depth. As a bullpen pitcher, he won 22 games and lost 11 games with a 4.27 ERA in 301 games. 온라인카지노사이트

Samsung said, “As a relatively young pitcher of 30 years old, he has no record of playing in the first division of the KBO League after being discharged from the military in 2021, but if he spends the season without any minor injuries through strengthening training, we expect him to be competitive enough as a pitcher who adds depth to the bullpen.”
