Shim Chang-min, a former "national bullpen" who is aiming to make a comeback in the LG Twins after suffering from the pain of release last year, lost another run in the Futures League.스포츠토토
Shim Chang-min took the mound in relief against the Goyang Heroes in the 2025 Mediheal KBO Futures League at Goyang National Baseball Training Center on the 4th and recorded three strikeouts and one run with four outs (3 walks, 1 out) without a hit in one inning.
Shim Chang-min, who took over the ball from Jin Woo-young, the starter of the second base with no outs in the bottom of the third inning when his team was trailing 2-0, filled the base by getting leadoff hitter Shim Hwi-yoon on base with a hit ball. The next batter, Kim Dong-heon, was struck out with three pitches and gave Joo Sung-won a straight walk, leading to a full base situation, and after striking out Yeo Dong-wook again, he allowed Kwon Hyuk-bin and Jeon Tae-hyun to walk consecutively.
Shim Chang-min also threw three down balls at Yang Hyun-jong's plate, putting him on an unfavorable count, but after continuing the seven-ball game, he struck out swinging and escaped the crisis of additional runs with the bases loaded.
LG, which lost its atmosphere when pitcher Huh Joon-hyuk gave up a solo home run to Kim Woong-bin in the bottom of the fourth inning, added three runs in the eighth inning to open the score to 0-8, and only recovered one point with Um Tae-kyung's double and Kim Soo-in's timely hit in the top of the ninth inning.
Shim Chang-min, who joined the Samsung Lions, the fourth-ranked team in the first round of the 2011 rookie draft, made his debut in the first division in 2012 and recorded 2 wins, 2 losses, 1 save, 5 holds, and an ERA of 1.83 in 37 games, jumping to the must-win group of the "Samsung Dynasty." Having won three championship rings in three years (2012-2014), he kept the back door with 2 wins, 6 losses, 25 saves, 4 holds, and an ERA of 2.97 in the 2016 season, and in 2017, he moved back to the middle to post a career-high 16 holds in a season. In 2018, he went back to finishing and made 17 saves.
Shim Chang-min, who played more than 50 games in six consecutive seasons from 2013 to 2018, was selected as the WBSC Premier 12 in 2015 and the World Baseball Classic (WBC) national team in 2017.
However, his downfall began in August 2020, when he returned from military service. Shim Chang-min, who joined Samsung after being discharged from the military, struggled with a 7.52 ERA with two wins, two losses and three holds in 23 games in the first division. In 2021, he had 16 holds (3-2) in 59 games, but he showed signs of anxiety with a 5.08 ERA. Eventually, he moved to the NC Dinos through a 2-1 trade (Shim Chang-min, Kim Eung-min ↔ Kim Tae-gun) after the end of the 2021 season.
However, he suffered the worst slump in 11 games in the 2022 season with one win, two losses and a 14.21 ERA. To make matters worse, he has not been on the mound since June due to elbow pain. He sought to revive the team by delaying the FA qualification twice, but was notified of his release without even appearing on the mound for the first team last season.
Shim Chang-min, who had nowhere to go at the young age of 31, held the hands of LG, which was devoted to reinforcing the bullpen at the time. He seemed to foreshadow his revival by pitching one win, one hold, and two ⅔ innings without four outs in three Futures appearances.
However, on April 26, his fourth appearance, he met his hometown team Samsung and collapsed by allowing four runs (three walks, one out) in ⅓ innings. In addition, Shim has recorded more than one walk in all of his four pitching appearances, and has been unable to avoid losing points. In the meantime, Shim's earned run average for this season soared to 10.57.
