Kang Min-ho (40), a catcher of the Samsung Lions in professional baseball, showed a happy reaction to Won Tae-in (25)'s career high achievement. 

Won Tae-in pitched in 28 games with 15 wins, 6 losses and a 3.66 ERA, his best performance since his debut in 2019. He tied for first in the multiple wins category along with Doosan Bears pitcher Kwak Bin. It is meaningful because he used Daegu Samsung Lions Park, a batter-friendly stadium, as his home ground and tied for first in multiple wins. 메이저놀이터

Won Tae-in said, "I'm most grateful to Minho. Whenever I started, I played with Minho. Even when Minho was not in good condition, I took painkillers and endured them." "After signing the FA contract (in December 2021), Minho said, 'I will retire after making you the best pitcher in Korea. Thank you so much." 

Kang Min-ho said, "It is amazing how you endure what you want to do and concentrate on baseball even at a young age. I wonder if I can do that at that age. He is very immersed in baseball."

He added, "I honestly only played a role as a helper, but I think Tae-in did well on his own and achieved 15 wins. Seeing that I work out this winter, I felt that I could continue to achieve this kind of performance." 

"Tae-in follows me so well and we have a good personality. Just by looking at his face, I can feel what kind of mental state he is in, and I know what kind of stories he has to tell me in case of a crisis to solve the crisis," Kang said. "It's because we've been together for a long time." This means that we can know each other just by looking at his eyes. 

Meanwhile, Samsung recruited Ariel Furado, who has been a foreign ace for the Kiwoom Heroes for two years from 2023, and Choi Won-tae, a former FA pitcher from the national team, to strengthen the starting lineup. 

Kang Min-ho said, "Our team's good performance this season was thanks to the solid lineup. With the addition of Furado and Choi Won-tae, the starting lineup has definitely become stronger. It will definitely be a plus factor for the team." He added a precondition that "it is important to run smoothly without injury." 

Regarding the merits of Furado and Choi Won-tae, he said, "Furado is the most ideal starting type as an innings pitcher who always takes charge of 6-7 innings. Choi is a pitcher with a very high value of pitching fastballs. Our team has good defense capabilities, so it will be helpful to increase the ratio of pitching."
