"Strong and weak" is not a good word to hear. It refers to an "opportunist" who is weak against the strong and strong against the weak.안전놀이터
However, Doosan Bears coach Lee Seung-yeop showed amazing performance in the press during this spring camp. He was soft on veteran players but fierce on the quarterfinalists. With his control of his speed, Doosan almost achieved its goal in the spring camp.
Doosan left for Australia, the first training camp site, in late January due to a flurry of tasks. Shortstop and second baseman were Muju Gongsan, and they had to find key left field and fifth starter. Most of the players competing here were rookies who had no experience as the first team's full-time starters.
Coach Lee Seung-yeop did not give them carrots. At least through media outlets, he focused his efforts on whipping them. He demanded a very high level of quality from them, and frequently delivered messages that he would not be able to use them in the first team like this.
For example, Kim Yu-seong, who was a five-starter, said, "I can't bowl like this." To the competitors in left field and infield field, they said, "Their season has already begun. I see no signs of desperation. We need to properly understand where we are," alarmed Kim. After the camp, Kim said, "I don't like it," creating a tense atmosphere even after entering the exhibition game.
As a result, Kim Min-seok, a transfer from Lotte, took the leadoff both as a left fielder. Oh Myung-jin, a candidate for second baseman, became king of batting at exhibition games. Kim Yu-seong, who was scolded for playing ball, exploded a fastball of up to 153 kilometers per hour in an exhibition game, allowing two runs in seven innings in two games to secure the fifth starting position.
On the other hand, he was extremely generous to players who had already been proven. He only supplied carrots "at least through the media" even though his pace was slow.
Rookie of the Year Kim Taek-yeon slowed down in the first camp, but manager Lee Seung-yeop said, "It's coming up as planned." Foreign pitcher Cole Irvin also did not have good performance in the Miyazaki practice game in Japan, but he said, "When the opening comes, I will hit it on my own." Even when Kim Jae-hwan was struggling with a batting average of less than 10%, Lee defended himself, saying, "There is no need to worry about the batting average in the exhibition game in Kim Jae-hwan's class."
In the end, Kim struck out three with 13 pitches in his final appearance at the exhibition game. Kim Jae-hwan exploded with a three-run homer, and Irvin is being praised for being the best foreigner in the league.
Manager Lee Seung-yeop is in his third year this year and the last year of his contract.
Manager Lee Seung-yeop said, "I have no personal resolution. I will just join forces with the players to help Doosan Bears regain its former reputation. I just naturally think that Doosan needs to improve its performance every year so that it can win once more. It doesn't matter at all about renewing the contract. I don't think about it for a second. I hope that Doosan Bears will be able to receive a lot of applause and support in 2025."
