“Dae-woo is an underhanded pitcher, which is something we have been lacking, and is expected to add diversity to our existing pitching staff as well as provide all-around performance in both the starting and middle relief roles,” the club said. “I’m excited to play baseball in front of Samsung fans once again. As a veteran player, I want to take responsibility and show the fans better results and good performances than before.” Kim Dae-woo said about his contract.

Competition is something I’ve always done, so I’m preparing well for the winter.”

Since joining Samsung in 2016, Kim has only played in the fall once before, in 2021.

Kim Dae-woo also has strong aspirations to reach the postseason. “As a player, I always feel sorry for the fans.
