From his debut match, Bae Chan-seung made Puig smile with his fastball reaching 155 km/h, and he set a tie for the highest speed record for left-handed pitchers in history during the game against Lotte Giants, making his appearance as a super rookie truly astonishing.

[Kim Jae-ho/Baseball Commentator: "156 km? Wow.... I think this is the first time I've seen something like this from a left-handed pitcher."]

Behind Bae Chan-seung's intense performance is the strong support of his family.

In particular, his younger brother Bae Da-seung, who is one year younger, has been a companion during Bae Chan-seung's middle and high school baseball days.

Standing at 185 cm and weighing 90 kg, Bae Da-seung is the cleanup hitter for Daegu High School.

With a batting average close to .400, four home runs, and an impressive slugging percentage of .652, he boasts tremendous power-hitting ability.

To support his younger brother, who needs to impress professional team scouts as a high school senior, the usually stoic Bae Chan-seung sent a warm message of encouragement.

Bae Da-seung also responded with a heartfelt message.
