Samsung Lions foreign pitcher Albert Suarez (34), whom we met at Akama Ball Park in Okinawa, Japan on the 16th, looked sharper than last year. He did not give specific numbers, but said he had “lost body fat.” He built his body by digesting a training program that suited him in the United States. He explained the reason, saying, “If you lower your body fat level, you can become more agile on the mound and perform better.” 

Suarez, who first stepped on Korean soil last year, recorded 6 wins and 8 losses in 30 games. His earned run average was 2.49. He achieved 19 quality starts, one of the criteria for evaluating the role of a starting pitcher. There were quite a few times when I missed a victory because the batting line was silent or the pitching team was shaking even after throwing well. He said, “After the season, I looked back at the performance indicators and looked back on how I spent the season. He thinks the most important thing is how much he contributes to the team victory,” he said. 

He didn’t follow Seung-woon, but he has a good attitude as an ace to the extent that he never showed it. Suarez’s mind resonated with his teammates. In response, Suarez said, “I don’t try to force things that I can’t control. As a starting pitcher, my role is to give 100% of my abilities when I get on the mound. Other than that, that’s the part I can’t do anything about. That’s why I try to accept it calmly.” 

I am so happy to be able to work with my best colleagues again. Suarez said of his team-mates: “I really like it, I don’t need to say anything more. Like the team slogan, I have to work hard to become one with myself. If I think of my colleagues first, they will think of me the same way. I was able to get along well because I worked so hard.” 

Jose Pirella (34, outfielder), whom he grew up with since childhood, and David Buchanan (34, pitcher), whom he had카지노 a relationship with at the Yakult Swallows in Japan, also helped Suarez settle down in the KBO League.

“Pirella is one of my best friends. After signing a contract with Samsung, I had many conversations with Pirella. Thanks to Pirella, he quickly melted into the team atmosphere. Buchanan also has a strong friendship while working together at Yakult. Because of Pirella and Buchanan, I was able to get along well without being alienated even when I first came to Korea.” 

When asked what he would like to tell young pitchers, he said, “I think it is important to always focus and try to win the competition in any situation. I hope you remember that focusing on the current situation leads to good results instead of worrying about things that have not yet happened.” 

If Suarez receives the help of his teammates properly, he will be able to become the king of many wins. “I always want to help the team win. A quality start is one of the parts that can contribute to the team’s victory as a starting pitcher. He said, “I will try to achieve a quality start every time I start.”
