“I hope Kang Baek-ho does well… ”
Can we leave out the 2006 World Baseball Classic semifinals in the history of Korean baseball? At that time, Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop brought joy to the people by making a decisive blow every day. In particular, the scene in which coach Lee Seung-yeop broke a come-from-behind final superiority two-run four in the 8th inning against Japan in the first round is still talked about as a major scene in Korean baseball history.
I asked Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop, who returned from Australia’s spring camp on the 7th. Which player would you like to do best in this WBC? Director Lee Seung-yeop did not bend his arm inward. It was not Yang Eui-ji, pitcher Kwak Bin, or Jeong Cheol-won, who were recruited from Doosan.
The word “Kang Baek-ho” came out of Director Lee’s mouth. From the second half of 2021 to last year, Kang Baek-ho suffered from sluggishness and injuries, and his pride as a genius hitter was bruised. However, ahead of this season, he decided to focus on accurate and strong hitting while pulling back his hitting point slightly. He was the best hitting hitter in the baseball team’s training camp in Tucson. mma 토토
The practice match in Osaka was also good. In a practice game against Orix on the 6th, he started as the designated hitter at number 6 and went 1-for-3. In the practice game against Hanshin on the 7th, he went as the designated hitter No. 9 and went 3 at-bats, 1 hit, 1 RBI, 1 walk and 1 run. He can be a center hitter in the WBC, or play a supporting role to center hitters. If Kang Baek-ho hits a single shot, synergy can be created in the other line as a whole.
