The Samsung Lions announced on the 16th that they have recruited left-handed pitcher Jack O'Rourkelyn (26) as a substitute for Matt Manning, who was out for the season due to acute ruptured elbow ligaments.

Samsung said in an official release on the 16th, "The Lions, who have been looking at the target players quickly since Manning's sudden injury at the end of February, chose O'Rourkelyn, who played for the WBC Australian national team until recently. "We put weight on the fact that we can recruit immediately and maintain our sense of practice," he said.

According to the club, O'Rourkelyn will receive a total of $50,000 for six weeks. O'Rourkelyn has shown his willingness to prove his skills through a six-week short-term contract.

O'Rourkelyn, who is 26 years old, 196 centimeters tall, and weighs 101 kilograms, has posted an ERA of 4.66 and WHIP of 1.86 in four major league games without winning or losing. In 139 games (78 starts), he recorded 19 wins and 26 losses, 4.33 ERA, and 1.50 WHIP in his minor league career.

O'Rourkelyn went six ⅓ innings in two games for the Australian national team in 2026 WBC. In the game against Taiwan, he allowed no runs (accidental) in three ⅓ innings in the final game of Group C against the Korean national team. In addition to the four-seam fastball, O'Rourkelyn, who has a variety of pitches, will play a role in the Lions' starting lineup.

"The negotiation process has been very exciting over the last few days," said O'Rourchlin, who finished his contract. I heard about Korean professional baseball through foreign players who played in the KBO league. Left-handed pitcher Lee Seung-hyun also played for a team in Australia. I want to contribute to the victory of the Samsung Lions. Please keep an eye on me."
