"I'm looking forward to the day we meet with Lion's fans".
Ariel Furado (28), a foreign pitcher who became a new member of the Samsung Lions in professional baseball, left his first greetings to fans.
Furado delivered Christmas and New Year's greetings through the club's official YouTube channel "Lions TV" on the 25th and said, "I'm looking forward to the day I meet with Lions fans. I'll do the best I can with the team."
Hurado, who played for the Texas Rangers (2018-2019) and the New York Mets (2020), had 12 wins and 16 losses and an ERA of 5.97 in 45 big league games. In particular, he recorded the most wins in a single season with 7 wins and 11 losses in 2019.
Furado has played for the Kiwoom Heroes for two years from 2023. In 60 games, he posted 21 wins and 16 losses and an earned run average of 3.01. He has won double-digit games for two consecutive years and played 190 ⅓ innings this season following 183 ⅔ innings last year. Based on his durability and ball control, he ranked first in the KBO league in innings (374 innings) and QS (43 innings).
After failing to renew his contract with Kiwoom despite his outstanding performance, he was called by other teams but joined hands with Samsung. The contract terms are a total of 1 million U.S. dollars, including a down payment of 300,000 dollars and an annual salary of 700,000 dollars.
Furado also posted an excellent figure at Daegu Samsung Lions Park, a batter-friendly stadium. Over the past two years, Furado has pitched in five games and posted an outstanding record of 3-1 with a 2.91 ERA.
Another strength suitable for Lions Park is that it ranked third (53.3%) in the total ground ball ratio in the 2024 season based on various pitches (5 pitches).
After re-signing Denny Reyes, a foreign pitcher who left strong impression this season, Samsung has recruited Choi Won-tae and Furado. With this, the team has now secured five starting pitchers including Won Tae-in, the ace of blue blood, and left-hander Lee Seung-hyun. Not only those but also ample resources to start preliminary games. 메이저사이트
It is the first time Samsung has had no worries about starting players since the opening of the Daegu Samsung Lions Park. Samsung, which has established a strong starting lineup, will try to win 10 games among all five starting players for the first time in 10 years since Yoon Sung-hwan (17 wins), Cha Woo-chan, Figaro (13 wins), Cloyd (11 wins), and Jang Won-sam (10 wins) in 2015.
