Bae Young-Soo (Hangul: 배영수, Hanja: 裵英洙) (born May 4, 1981 in Daegu, South Korea) is a South Korean starting pitcher who plays for the Hanwha Eagles in the Korea Baseball Organization. He bats and throws right-handed. He is well known as a franchise player of his former hometown club, Samsung Lions.
