David Buchanan (34) and Albert Suarez (34), the ace duo of the same age that the Samsung Lions are proud of, win the award.
The two players who should stand at the center of the great counterattack in June. He is slowing down due to injuries and sluggishness. Except for the 5th starter, there is a sense of tension in the Samsung starting lineup, which has been working with a sense of stability.

Samsung coach Park Jin-man said, ahead of the 7th game of the season against NC held at Lions Park in Daegu on the 7th, “Buchanan is originally a starter for the NC match tomorrow (8th), but it seems difficult to pitch due to unknown pain on the back of the hand.” I’m thinking of calling Hwang Dong-jae up and making him a starting pitcher.”

Buchanan’s soreness has already been there since last week. Pain appeared along with swelling.
She got better and worse after receiving treatment in the training part. As the pain continued with swelling again, the bench made a decision.
Director Park tilted his head, saying, “I don’t know what the cause is. I took pictures at the hospital, but no special symptoms were found. I don’t know if the gout I usually have is the cause.” He continued, “I don’t know when it will get better right now, so I haven’t decided yet whether to exclude it from the entry.”
Ace Buchanan, a filial son in his fourth year, is recording an average ERA of 4-3 and 3.46 in 11 games this season. He has a quality start and is making matches that he can win reliably enough to record 6 times. He is a filial foreigner with a total of 46 wins in 4 seasons.

Suarez has a problem with ups and downs.
There are often games where a good flow continues, but then suddenly loses a lot and collapses.
Suarez took his 5th loss (1 win) of the season with the worst pitch of the season with 8 hits and 3 walks and 9 runs in 4⅔ innings against Hanwha on the 4th, his 10th start of the season. The ace collapsed early and the team lost 5-10.
1 win and 5 losses in 10 games this season, an average ERA of 4.98. With ups and downs overlapping with bad luck, it is only one win.
The match against Hanwha on the 4th was a game that was so worrisome that even Samsung coach Park Jin-man threw a bitter voice.
Prior to the first game of the week against NC held at Lions Park in Daegu on the 6th, coach Park reprimanded in a strong tone, saying, “It was a disappointing pitch that I did not understand.” “As if he wasn’t confident in his ball, he left fast balls that came out at 154km and ran away mainly with breaking balls, and a pattern that matched the unfavorable ball count continued. There were almost no advantageous ball counts.” He pointed out the problem with the ball combination, saying, “I had to see the game with a breaking ball, but it seemed to go backwards.” He then urged change, saying, “Opponent hitters should be burdened by foreign pitchers, but the pitcher is rather burdened by hitters.”

Buchanan Suarez, who has booked a long-term performance as the best foreign pitching duo in the league. As injuries and sluggishness overlap, it is now a little awkward to attach the modifier ‘filial son’. Samsung needs to get rid of injuries and sluggishness as soon as possible and maintain a strong center to make a great counterattack possible in June. Samsung Baseball’s farming this season also rests on the shoulders of the two pitchers.
