Samsung Lions' "Ace" Won Tae-in's return to the first division is imminent.

Won Tae-in took the mound as a starting pitcher against the KIA Tigers in the 2025 Mediheal KBO Futures League at Hampyeong KIA Challengers Field on the 23rd and recorded two hits (one homer) with five strikeouts and one run in three innings.바카라

The number of pitches he pitched was 50. Of these, 33 were strikes, showing a clean ratio.

He was off to a shaky start. In the first inning, Won allowed a solo home run to Jung Hae-won, the leadoff batter, to hit the ball well, with a flying distance of 125 meters. He was followed by a walk by Kim Seok-hwan and a hit by Byun Woo-hyuk, who rushed to the first and second bases with no outs.

He returned to his original form. At the risk of losing a large number of points, Won struck out Oh Sun-woo, Lee Young-jae, and Ko Jong-wook in succession to end the inning. Ko Jong-wook's strikeout was the highlight. He threw both the first and second pitches to start the game unfavorably. He made his first strike with a foul, and successively induced swinging to escape the crisis.

Afterwards, Won finished the second and third innings with three outs. Park Joon-yong took the mound from the fourth inning, and Won completed his mission on the day.

Finally, he is in the first team. Won was substituted for shoulder pain during the fourth game of the Korean Series last year. He was diagnosed with distal injury to his right shoulder joint. After all, he was out for the season, and had to watch his team win the runner-up prize. He steadily underwent rehabilitation throughout the winter, and started a last-minute check-up at the Futures League on the day.

He is scheduled to return to the team at the end of March. "Won Tae-in and Danny Reyes are likely to return sooner than expected," coach Park Jin-man said on Sunday. "We are planning to meet the Jamsil game." Samsung will have a showdown with the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium from Friday to Sunday. It will have a return match next weekend in the series.

Reyes, who left the mound due to fine fatigue fracture of his right metatarsal bone, will also take the mound. Reyes plans to take the mound against the KT Wiz in Gyeongsan on Saturday.

The normalization of Samsung's starting lineup is not far away. Currently, Samsung has veteran left-hander Baek Jung-hyun and right-hander Kim Dae-ho as temporary starters. If Won Tae-in and Reyes join, they will form a golden starting team called Furado-Reyes-Won Tae-in-Choi Won-tae and left-hander Lee Seung-hyun.
