KIA Coach, Challenge to Win this Year

KIA Coach “Challenge to Win this Year”, Hanwha Captain “If we don’t Place 5th, We will go to the Sea”

Even if you don’t attend the media day, the topic of discussion is ‘Ryu Hyun-jin’s return’

“I will win this year.”

Fans erupted in cheers at the firm words of KIA Tigers Coach Lee Beom-ho, born in 1981, the youngest among the head coaches of the 10 teams in the 2024 Korean Professional Baseball KBO League.

At the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Media Day held at the Lotte Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 22nd, the host asked the ‘three new head coaches’ to “predict the timing of victory.” 바카라사이트

Coach Kim Tae-hyung, a ‘championship contractor’ who signed a three-year contract with the Lotte Giants, promised, “I will do it within three years,” and SSG Landers coach Lee Soong-yong said, “My contract period is two years.

I will do it within two years.”

Coach Lee Beom-ho then took the microphone and firmly said, “We will do it this season.”

Coach Lee said, “Among the 10 teams, I was the last to take office,” and pledged, “However, I will work hard to achieve the dream that I could not achieve last year (6th place) this season.

I will play good baseball for the fans.”

Manager Lee Beom-ho started spring camp as a hitting coach, but was appointed as the new head coach of KIA on the 13th of last month following the dismissal of former manager Kim Jong-guk, who was investigated by the prosecution on charges of breach of trust by receiving kickbacks from sponsors.

Although key hitter Na Seong-beom was recently diagnosed with damage to his right thigh hamstring (the muscle behind the thigh) and was withdrawn from the lineup, KIA is still evaluated as having ‘top-tier power.’

Coach Lee Beom-ho, who quickly restored the team atmosphere, did not hide his ‘dream of challenging for the championship.’

KIA ace Eui-ri Lee said, “The players’ goal is also No. 1,” and also pledged to win, saying, “If we win, we will host an event with fans at the baseball stadium to enjoy together.”

The ‘defending champion’ LG Twins, who achieved a combined championship last year for the first time in 29 years since 1994, also has no intention of stepping down.

LG coach Yeom Kyeong-yeop said, “I had a really good experience last year.

I and the players want to feel that joy again this year,” and added, “I will work hard with the goal of winning a second consecutive championship.”

KT Wiz coach Lee Kang-cheol, who performed the ‘magic’ of rising from last place to second place in 2023, declared his challenge for the championship, saying, “This season, I will have a leisurely season with a baseball that always wins.”

Although he did not participate in the media day, the name of Ryu Hyun-jin (Hanwha Eagles), who returned to the KBO League after 12 years, was constantly heard at the event venue.

Hanwha coach Choi Won-ho excitedly said, “Our starting pitcher for the opening game (23rd) is Ryu Hyun-jin, who ‘no other team has’” and added, “We recruited Chae Eun-seong last year and Ahn Chi-hong this year, and even Ryu Hyun-jin is back, so we will definitely be playing fall baseball with Hanwha fans this season.”

“I will do it,” he promised to advance to the postseason for the first time in six years since 2018.

When asked about the possibility of the first-ever starting match between Ryu Hyun-jin and Kim Gwang-hyun (SSG), the left-handed duo representing Korean baseball, SSG coach Lee Soong-yong said, “Due to my personality, I will not avoid it.

If we meet, I will prepare well so that we can win.”

It raised the expectations of baseball fans.

With Ryu Hyun-jin’s return, Hanwha players’ confidence also grew.

Hanwha captain Chae Eun-seong said, “Our goal is fourth place,” and added, “If we don’t make it into the top five, the senior players have decided to swim in the waters off Taean.”

Noh Si-hwan also made a huge pledge, saying, “A new stadium will be built in Daejeon next year,” and “If we win, we will invite all fans to the first game at the new stadium for free.”

Doosan Bears coach Lee Seung-yeop, who finished 5th in his first season (2023), said, “Our team’s catchphrase this year is ‘247’.

We created ‘Fans’ so that our fans can enjoy baseball 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“I will play baseball that satisfies everyone,” he said.

Coach Lee predicted that ‘big rookie’ Kim Taek-yeon would win the Rookie of the Year Award and encouraged him, saying, “One day, he will be able to play in MLB (Major League Baseball).”

Coach Kang In-kwon of the NC Dinos, who struggled in last year’s playoffs, dreamed of advancing to the Korean Series, saying, “This year, I will work with the fans until the final stage in the fall.”

Samsung Lions coach Park Jin-man, who was in the bottom tier (8th place) last year, predicted a rebound, saying, “There will be more winning days than losing days this season.”

Coach Hong Won-ki of Kiwoom Heroes, who finished in last place (10th place) in 2023 and even sent Jeong-hoo Lee (San Francisco Giants) to the United States, promised, “This year, I will discover new faces and show myself constantly challenging myself.”

After completing the ‘Speaking Contest’, professional baseball coaches and representative players begin their long journey of playing 144 games per team on the 23rd.

Go Woo-seok Hold in MLB Exhibition Game

HOLD IN MLB EXHIBITION GAME’ GO WOO-SEOK “FASTBALL, SLIDER, CURVE ARE WEAPONS”

In his first appearance in an exhibition game, he pitched 2K in one inning… “Appearing in the Seoul Series is special.”

Go Woo-seok (25), who successfully completed his debut game in a big league exhibition game, cited “pulling out hitters’ missed swings and confirming the quality of fastballs” as his biggest gain.

Go Woo-seok took the mound in the bottom of the 8th inning with a 5-3 lead in the 2024 American Professional Baseball Major League (MLB) away exhibition game against the Oakland Athletics held at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Arizona, USA on the 1st (Korean time) and pitched 1 inning, allowing 1 hit, no runs, and 2 strikeouts.

I blocked it and took the hold. 바카라사이트

According to the local MLB broadcaster, on this day, Go Woo-seok threw a fastball, slider, and curveball.

The highest speed of his fastball was 93 miles per hour (about 150 km).

MLB.com commented, “Before the game, Go Woo-seok said, ‘I’m really nervous,’ but he didn’t express those feelings on the mound.”

Go Woo-seok struck out Tyler Soderstrom on a missed swing, recording a ‘strikeout’ as the first batter he faced in a big league exhibition game.

Ko Woo-seok, who grounded Korean batter Park Hyo-jun to second base, gave up a left-field hit to Cooper Bowman, but ended the inning by striking out Max Schumann on a missed swing.

In an interview with MLB.com, Go Woo-seok said, “I throw three pitches (fastball, slider, and curveball) with confidence.

“This is the secret to success in Korea,” he said, adding, “MLB is of a higher standard than the KBO league, but we will use the three pitches as weapons here as well.”

Go Woo-seok gained confidence by hitting 150 km per hour and causing missed swings in his first pitching game.

But he still humbles himself .

Go Woo-seok said, “I feel good because I checked the speed of the fastball and pulled out a missed swing,” but also added, “There is still a lot of work to be done.

I will stay healthy until the opening game and become stronger.”

San Diego will play the official opening series of the 2024 MLB season against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on March 20th and 21st.

Go Woo-seok’s participation in the Seoul Series is confirmed.

With a good pitch in his first appearance in an exhibition game, he was given the green light to enter the opening roster (26 players).

Go Woo-seok said, “It is a very special thing to wear the MLB San Diego uniform and go on the mound of Gocheok Dome, where I played,” and added, “For a baseball player, pitching in the opening game is exciting, but also nerve-wracking,” and looked forward to pitching in the Seoul Series.

The primary goal of Go Woo-seok, who signed a 2+1 year contract with San Diego for up to $9.4 million, is to enter the opening roster.

Despite being evaluated as a closer candidate, Go Woo-seok always said, “My big league debut comes first.”

He, who played his first exhibition game in the big league somewhat late, said, “The club gave me plenty of opportunities to get in shape,” and repeatedly emphasized, “I don’t care about the position.

My role is to go on the mound and count outs.”

His first appearance on the mound was completed safely.

San Diego coach Mike Silt praised Go Woo-seok, saying, “Everything worked.

The ball’s rotation and control were also good,” and “It was a great first appearance.”

Shin Jin-seo, Nongshim Cup’s 13th Consecutive Win

‘Guardian God’ Shin Jin-seo, Nongshim Cup’s 13th Consecutive Win… Next Opponent is Big

If you add one win, you will tie with Lee Chang-ho, the best of all time… With 3 wins, Korea leads the way to 4 consecutive losses.

Shin Jin-seo (23), 9th dan, the ‘guardian god’ of Korean Baduk, is one step closer to creating a new myth.

In the 11th round of the 3rd round of the 25th Nongshim Shin Ramen Cup World Baduk Championship held in Shanghai, China on the 20th, Shin Jin-seo defeated China’s second runner, Zhao Chenyu, 9th dan, in 224 moves.

Korea’s final runner, Shin Jin-seo, has thus won three consecutive wins in this competition, increasing her chances of a come-from-behind victory. 카지노사이트

If Shin Jin-seo defeats all three of China’s remaining runners, Ke Jie, Ding Hao, and Gu Zihao, 9th dan, he will achieve Korea’s fourth consecutive championship.

Shin Jin-seo, who has won 13 consecutive wins in the Nongshim Cup, has already led Korea to three consecutive wins.

Shin Jin-seo, who won 5 consecutive wins as the fourth runner in the 22nd competition, won 4 consecutive wins as the last runner in the 23rd competition, and won the final game in the 23rd competition, giving Korea the championship.

Shin Jin-seo, who added 3 consecutive wins in this tournament for 13 consecutive wins, is also close to the record of 9th Dan Lee Chang-ho, who had 14 consecutive wins in the 1st to 6th tournaments.

On this day, Shin Jin-seo, who caught white as a result of blocking the stone, secured an early advantage by destroying the black line on the right side in the early stages of the match.

After the middle of the game, they captured 5 black points on the left side and secured a clear victory, leading to a non-win.

Shin Jin-seo, who won three consecutive wins in this tournament, will receive a prize money of 10 million won.

Shin Jin-seo has a significant lead over Zhao Chen-yu in their total record against each other, with 7 wins and 1 loss.

Shin Jin-seo will face China’s baduk emperor Ke Jie in the 12th country held on the 21st.

The opponent’s record is tied at 11 wins and 11 losses, but Shin Jin-seo has shown a strong performance by winning his last six games in a row.

They met twice in the Nongshim Cup, and Shin Jin-seo won both times.

The prize money for winning the Nongshim Shin Ramyun Cup is 500 million won, and players who win three times in a row will receive a prize money of 10 million won.

Meanwhile, in the Nongshim Baeksan Cup held on this day, 9th dan Choi Gyu-byeong lost to Japan’s 9th dan Masaki Takemiya in 198 moves.

As a result, Korea, Japan, and China entered into an unknown competition for the championship with two survivors each.

Korea’s 9th dan Cho Hoon-hyeon and Yoo Chang-hyuk, Japan’s 9th dan Takemiya and Yoda Norimoto, and China’s 9th dan Nie Weiping and Ma Xiaochun are preparing for the match.

Choi Gyu-byeong, who had won two games in a row until the previous day, carried out a pragmatic strategy by going for 3/3 from the beginning against Takemiya, famous for ‘Uju-ryu’.

However, after the mid-game, they failed to effectively cut down Takemiya’s huge white force and lost.

In the final round held on the 21st, 9th Dan Takemiya and 9th Dan Ma Xiaochun of China will face off.

The prize money for winning the Baeksan Cup, a senior national competition for professional players born before 1969, is 180 million won.

A player who wins three games in a row will receive a prize of 5 million won.

Shim Jae-hak, Beom-ho Lee is the Best Choice

KIA General Manager Shim Jae-hak “Director Beom-ho Lee, Who has a Lot of Ideas, Is the Best Choice”

Shim Jae-hak, general manager of the professional baseball KIA Tigers, explained, “With less than 40 days left until the start of the regular season, I think Coach Beom-ho Lee was the best choice as a leader to calm the team atmosphere and provide new leadership.”

On the 13th, the KIA club appointed Coach Beom-ho Lee, who is currently the first-team batting coach and is leading the players in the first spring camp set up in Canberra, Australia, as the 11th coach.

The terms of the contract are 900 million won, including a contract period of 2 years, a down payment of 300 million won, and an annual salary of 300 million won. 바카라사이트

Coach Lee plans to focus on preparing for the regular season without a hitch by reorienting KIA, which was shaken by the dismissal of former coach Kim Jong-guk.

Coach Lee, who played for the Hanwha Eagles for 10 years and also played for the Softbank Hawks of the Japanese professional baseball team, is not a Tigers franchise star.

However, during the nine years he played for KIA from 2011 to 2019, he showed off his extraordinary charisma and communication skills and was evaluated as a great leader in the future.

It is not unrelated to this that KIA tested his abilities by entrusting key positions to Coach Lee, such as Futures (2nd team) coach in 2021 and 1st team batting coach from 2022.

General Manager Shim introduced the selection process, saying, “In the special situation of having to appoint a coach just before the regular season, we held several meetings to select candidates for internal and external coaches.”

It is said that KIA team officials, including Manager Shim, were unable to rest even during the Lunar New Year holiday as they did not know when the approval of the parent company, Hyundai-Kia Motors Group, would run out.

The choice of KIA club field officials was internal promotion.

They agreed to entrust the important responsibility of repairing the team to a leader with completely new leadership, rather than relying on the name of the former Tigers player.

Director Shim said, “After we decided on a major direction by promoting an internal leader to director, we did not interview any external personnel as directors.”

Coach Lee, who is training in Australia, had a video interview with Director Shim and team leader personnel on the 10th, and the KIA club recorded the video interview and delivered it to Choi Jun-young, CEO of the KIA club.

The final decision on supervision by the parent company was made on the 13th.

General Manager Shim said, “Since I took office as general manager last year, I have often talked with the coaches to establish the direction of the club.”

He added, “Coach Lee provided many ideas, and in particular, at the club strategy seminar attended by CEO Choi last month, as a hitting coach, Lee “I think the director presented good content and probably received additional points in the selection process,” he said.

Director Shim heads to Australia this afternoon to discuss management plans for the club with coach Beom-ho Lee.

The vacant first-team hitting coach position will be filled with someone recommended by Coach Lee.

Hwang In-beom is Proud of Cho Kyu-sung

Asian Cup Hwang In-beom “I am proud of Cho Kyu-sung for his actions when it was important.”

Klinsmann’s ‘Three Back Tactic’: “Practicing before the Saudi game… We blocked the opponent well.”

“I’m most proud of Kyuseong.

I’m so proud of him and he’s really cool.”

Midfielder Hwang In-beom (Zvezda) of the Korean national soccer team, which beat Saudi Arabia and is heading to the quarterfinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup, gave a thumbs up to Cho Kyu-sung (Midtjylland), who saved the team from the brink. 온라인카지노사이트

Jurgen Klinsmann The Korean national soccer team, led by the coach, won 4-2 in a penalty shootout after finishing the first and second halves and overtime 1-1 in the round of 16 against Saudi Arabia held at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on the 31st (Korean time).

They advanced to the quarterfinals.

In an interview with reporters after the game, Hwang In-beom pointedly mentioned Cho Kyu-seong and said, “If I were a striker like Kyu-seong, I would really feel a lot of pressure.”

He added, “Nevertheless, I am really proud and cool that he played a role in such an important moment today,” and added, “I think many fans also felt the need for Kyuseong.”

Striker Cho Gyu-seong showed off his ‘solver instinct’ well in this game.

After conceding a goal to Abdullah Radif in the first minute of the second half, Klinsmann was on the verge of elimination as there were no points to make up for it until just before the end of the second half.

After more than 8 minutes of the 10-minute extra time had passed, Cho Gyu-seong returned Seol Young-woo’s (Ulsan) headed pass with a headed shot, opening Saudi Arabia’s goal and sending the game into overtime.

Cho Gyu-seong, who took on the third kicker in the penalty shootout, once again hit the net with a calm shot, contributing to the victory at the last minute.

Hwang In-beom said, “I think today’s game will help the team become stronger.

“I’m so happy,” he said, emphasizing that “there were a lot of disappointing aspects for our team, but we should be praised for not giving up until the end.”

On this day, Coach Klinsmann brought out the three-back, which he did not use often.

In relation to this, Hwang In-beom said, “Sometimes the national team “When I was called up, I trained so that I could change to a three-back during the game,” he said.

“Ahead of this game, I initially prepared with a three-back.”

“Except for conceding goals, I think we did a good job of blocking the opponent’s threatening attacks until overtime,” he said.

“After the Malaysia game, we did recovery training, and from the next training, we continued to practice three-backs.”

“That wasn’t even the first time I trained,” he repeatedly emphasized.

Now, Klinsmann’s next opponent is Australia.

The quarterfinals between Korea and Australia will kick off at 0:30 a.m. on February 3.

After two days of rest, it will be game day.

Hwang In-beom said, “Now I have to endure with my mental strength.

“I hope we can continue the solidity we gained today (in the quarterfinals),” he said.
