It has been exactly four days since coach Park Jin-man's unusual rebuke of a strong ball on the 9th, saying, "I don't understand it at all." Samsung Lions left-hander Lee Seung-hyun (24), who faced a "cold decision" to cancel the first-team entry, first rebounded by showing stable control in his first appearance in the Futures League.

Lee Seung-hyun started the away game of the Futures League against the Lotte Giants at Sangdong Baseball Stadium in Gimhae on the 13th and became the winning pitcher with 10 hits, one strikeout, and three runs in seven innings. He won his second victory in the Futures League following the winning pitcher against KIA in the Futures League on March 26. Although Lee Seung-hyun allowed double-digit hits and lost points, the most encouraging part is that he did not give up a single pitch. Thanks to Lee Seung-hyun's holding out on the mound, Samsung beat Lotte 12-3.

Lee Seung-hyun, who started against KIA in Gwangju on the 8th, self-destructed in two ⅔ innings with as many as 11 hits and eight walks. At the time, manager Park Jin-man sent Lee Seung-hyun to the second division, emphasizing the weight of the starting position to be treated as "the king" compared to bullpen pitchers, saying, "I lacked responsibility as a starting pitcher." He said he will have a readjustment without any promise of returning to the first team.

However, in the Futures League on the 13th, Lee Seung-hyun showed a completely different pitching by actively targeting the strike zone while throwing a total of 82 pitches. From the 1st to the 7th inning, he defended the mound and proved his ability to play the inning, and dispelled the "bold control" problem, which was pointed out in the first team, with no outs and no outs.

Although he faced a crisis with 10 hits, it is positive that he broke away from the previous pattern of accumulating runners with walks and caught the out count with aggressive pitches. Lee Seung-hyun, who also took the mound in the bottom of the seventh inning, allowed a timely hit by Kim Ho-beom with one out and runners on second and third, and allowed Um Jang-yoon to hit a timely hit during the crisis with two outs and runners on the second and third bases. Nevertheless, he pitched up to seven innings to show his "responsibility as a starting pitcher" that manager Park Jin-man emphasized from his first appearance in the second division.

With Won Tae-in's return to the starting rotation, Samsung has reorganized its starting rotation to Ariel Furado, Jack O'Rourkelyn, Choi Won-tae and Yang Chang-seop. While head coach Park declared a long-term adjustment, saying, "We have not set the timing for Lee Seung-hyun's return," it is expected that the key will be pitch consistency in the end.
