Will he be able to make a comeback as a must-win team for the bullpen? Shim Chang-min, a pitcher who suffered a setback after being released, has received a new opportunity with the LG Twins in the professional baseball league.
LG officially announced on the 18th that it has recruited pitcher Shim Chang-min. After being released from NC, he was tested at LG's closing camp in November. After the test, general manager Cha Myung-seok mentioned, "The ball is fine. I decided to sign a contract," and officially announced Shim Chang-min's contract after recruiting FA and nominating compensation players.
Shim Chang-min played as a must-winner for the bullpen during the Samsung Dynasty. He played for the Korean national team and achieved a career high in the Samsung Lions. However, he was traded to NC and his ball control was shaken rapidly. Shim Chang-min and NC were both unhappy for the past three years at NC. Eventually, his relationship ended with his release.
LG, which has been stepping up its bullpen session as its biggest task in the offseason, has hired free agent Jang Hyun-sik (a total of 5.2 billion won for four years) and Kim Kang-ryul (a maximum of 1.4 billion won for three plus one year) and left-hander Choi Chae-heung as compensation for Choi Won-tae, who left for Samsung. LG finalized its bullpen session by signing a contract with Shim Chang-min. "The off-season lineup is over," said Cha Myung-seok.
The LG club said, "Sim Chang-min is a player with experience and know-how in the past, and we expect the test results to help the team with competitive ball power and improved control."
Shim Chang-min joined Samsung as the fourth overall pick in the first round of the 2011 draft. He had an impressive debut season in the 2012 season with 37 games, 2 wins, 2 losses, 1 save, 5 holds, and an ERA of 1.83 and played as a must-win member of the Samsung Dynasty's bullpen, with one win and two saves and 14 holds in 50 games in 2013 with an ERA of 2.68.
He was the brightest in 2016-2018. He was responsible for the back door, recording a 2.97 ERA with two wins, six losses and 25 saves and four holds in 62 games (72 ⅔ innings) in 2016. He recorded a 4.18 ERA with four wins, seven losses and six saves in 66 games (75 ⅓ innings) while alternating finishing and setup man. In 2018, he recorded five wins, two losses and five saves with 17 holds with a 4.07 ERA in 59 games (66 ⅓ innings). He returned to the military after serving in Sangmu after the 2019 season, and posted a 5.08 ERA with three wins and two losses and 16 holds in 59 games in 2021.
After the end of the 2021 season, Samsung changed its team to trade. Samsung agreed to a 2-1 trade deal to send pitcher Shim Chang-min and catcher Kim Eung-min to NC and bring catcher Kim Tae-gun to NC. NC has rounded up a number of veteran bullpen pitchers after the end of the 2021 season. NC, which is reorganizing its bullpen, has hired Shim Chang-min as a trade card to back up its main catcher Yang Eui-ji.
Since the trade, Shim's career has been on a rollercoaster ride. In the first year of his transfer, Shim showed difficulties starting from exhibition games in 2022. He pitched in only 11 games (six ⅓ innings) in the first team, and displayed sluggish performance with one win and two losses and 14.21 ERA. He even suffered elbow pain at the end of the season.
Shim tried to make a comeback in 2023, but showed serious problems in his ball control. In the first team, Shim pitched in only five games (three ⅓ innings) at the beginning of this season. In the second team, Shim also pitched in 32 games, and showed sluggish performance with one win, four losses and three holds with an ERA of 10.38. He pitched 30 ⅓ innings and had 62 walks.
His ball control and sluggishness continued this year. Shim failed to throw a single game in the first division, and recorded 21 games with two wins, one loss and two holds with an ERA of 8.84 in the second division. He had 22 walks in 19 ⅓ innings. Finally, NC gave up the possibility to revive Shim and released him in late September. Shim left the team with 16 games (nine ⅔ innings) with one win, three losses and an ERA of 10.24 over the past three years at NC. 카지노사이트
Shim Chang-min, who received a new starting opportunity at LG through the tryout test, said, "I am so grateful that the LG Twins trusted me and gave me the opportunity. I fully know what the club expects from me. I want to prepare well for the rest of the time before the season and repay the expectations with my skills. I hope once again LG Twins will help us win the championship, and I will work hard to reach the fans in a better way than before."
