The Korean national baseball team, which is set to play in the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Premier 12, confirmed its solid mound through four warm-up matches.메이저놀이터
Moon Dong-joo (Hanwha Eagles), Son Joo-young (LG Twins), and Won Tae-in (Samsung Lions) drew concern due to the line injuries of starting pitchers, but showed that the bullpen volume offensive could fill the vacancy.
The national team, led by head coach Ryu Joong-il, had a team ERA of 1.40 in four warm-up matches, including Cuba (1st and 2nd), the Korean Armed Forces Sports Unit (6th), and the Weijuan Dragons (10th).
In particular, the bullpen, which has only five main closer pitchers, is stronger.
Except for four starting pitchers, Ko Young-pyo (kt wiz), Lim Chan-kyu (LG), Kwak Bin and Choi Seung-yong (Dusan Bears), the rest of the pitchers had an ERA of 0.58 with two runs in 31 innings in four warm-up matches.
No matter how much it is a warm-up match, it is an achievement that will fill the confidence of the players.
Kim Taek-yeon (Doosan), the youngest member of the national team, said, "The bullpen seniors' ball is so good that it's reliable in a word, and from the youngest's point of view, it's not a burden to go up anytime."
Park Young-hyun (kt) seems to be the main closing pitcher for the national team.
Park Young-hyun took the mound in the ninth inning of the warm-up match against Weijuan on the 10th and allowed no runs in one inning.
Park Young-hyun, who was on the second and third bases with one out due to his first batter's sacrifice bunt, struck out the next two batters with a high-speed ball crystal ball approaching 150km/h.
It is not difficult to guess that the national team's firefighter has been decided by Ryu Joong-il's words, "Park Young-hyun defended well in the ninth inning. In the end, the closing pitcher should have the ball power to strike out."
However, the team's built-in No. 4 hitter, who should serve as a troubleshooter for the lineup, was not found through an evaluation match.
The national team entrusted Moon Bo-kyung and Park Dong-won (LG) to bat four times, two games each.
Moon Bo-kyung, who was the most likely, seemed to have hardly found a sense of hitting with a batting average of 0.200 (3 hits in 15 at-bats) in the warm-up match.
Park Dong-won was not bad with a batting average of 0.400 (4 hits in 10 at-bats) in the warm-up match, but he only had a double.
"Moon Bo-kyung's ball doesn't float. We have training scheduled at the Taipei Dome on the 12th, so we will check until then," Ryu said. "The fourth hitter is flexible. I will use him depending on his condition."
Rather, Yoon Dong-hee (Lotte Giants) showed the destructive power needed for the fourth batter.
Yoon Dong-hee hit .333 (3 hits in 9 at-bats) and walked two in the warm-up match, including two home runs.
Yoon Dong-hee's strong performance against Taiwan's leading starting candidate Lin Yeo-min, which will be held on the 13th, also raises the possibility of a surprise fourth appointment.
At the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, the national team was blocked by Taiwan's Lin Yeo-min with six scoreless innings (qualifying) and two points (final) in five innings.
