This is a word from foreign pitcher Yariel Furado, who will lead the starting lineup of the Samsung Lions in the 025 season.메이저사이트

On the 25th, Furado said on Samsung's official SNS account, "Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. I can't wait to meet the Lionesses fans. I will do the best I can with the team. Merry Christmas!"

Furado reported on his contract with Samsung on the 6th. He signed a down payment of 300,000 U.S. dollars and an annual salary of 700,000 dollars. It became the last puzzle for pitcher Denny Reyes and batter Lewin Diaz, who both advanced to the Korean Series last season, and the special foreign trio.

Furado has played for the Kiwoom Heroes for the past two years. He has posted an excellent record. He pitched well in 30 games in the 2023 season, with 11 wins and eight losses and an earned run average of 2.65. His quality start (less than three earned runs in six innings as a starter) was consistent with 20 innings. He was also ranked fourth in ERA and sixth with 147 strikeouts. He had never been substituted before the fifth inning.

After re-signing his contract with Kiwoom for a total of $1.3 million, up $300,000 from $1 million, he also recorded 10-8 record and 3.36 ERA in 30 games during the 2024 season. He ranked second in the most innings and fourth in strikeouts and ERA.

He has the lowest ERA of 3.01 among pitchers who have played in the KBO league over the past two years. The number of innings is overwhelmingly 374 innings. There is a gap compared with 342.1 innings by Yang Hyeon-jong (KIA Tigers). He ranks first with 43 quality starts, and also ranks first with 20 quality starts (three earned runs or less in seven innings as a starter).

However, he failed to renew his contract with Kiwoom. He did not exercise his right to hold the contract. Furado became free, and Enmanuel de Heissus, who had a one-two punch with Furado at Kiwoom, left for KT Wiz, and Furado quickly succeeded in finding a job.

Furado has been strong at Lions Park. Over the past two years, he has appeared in five games, recording three wins and one loss with a 2.91 ERA. "I hope that Furado will play a key role in the starting pitcher's mound next season," Samsung said.
