Why did manager Kim In-sik choose Lee Hye-cheon as the starting pitcher.
The 「Korea-Japan Dream Players Game」, in which all the legendary stars representing Korea-Japan baseball will appear, will be held at Escon Field in Kitahiroshima, Hokkaido, Japan on the 22nd.
South Korea has fielded all the best members. Among the players included in this entry, it consists of the players with the most sense of play. Arrangement by position is not bad either. Lee Jong Beom (centre)Lee Dae-hyung (left-winger) and Yang Jun-hyuk (designated hitter)Kim Tae Kyun (first baseman)Park Kyung Wan (Capture)Park Seokmin (third baseman)Son Siheon (striker)Park Han (Woo Ik Soo)The batting order was written in the order of Park Jong-ho (second baseman).
What's interesting is that the starting pitcher is Lee Hye-cheon, who was famous as a left-handed fireballer in the past. Koo Dae-sung, Bong Jung-geun, and Seo Jae-eung, who made a reputation as a "Japanese killer", were in this squad, and there were starting agents such as Yoon Seok-min, but Kim's choice was Lee Hye-cheon.
Coach Kim emphasized "Friendship", but it is a choice that feels the will not want to lose. Koo Dae-sung, Bong Jung-geun, Seo Jae-eung, and other players who have had balls in their hands for a long time are not in such good condition. Yoon Seok-min, who believed, also said his shoulders were not perfect.
Therefore, head coach Kim seems to have devised a game plan to create an equal atmosphere for now with powerful Lee Hye-cheon, Yoon Gil-hyun, and Ko Chang-sung in the early part of the game and put other star players in turn in the second half.
Will surprise starter Lee Hye-cheon be able to show a great pitch against Japan's legendary stars. First of all, Lee Hye-cheon showed a stable performance with one run on his back in the top of the first inning and one run on his first pitch in the bottom of the first inning.
Japan started with Koji Uhehara as the starting pitcher for 'Korean Killer'. Uhehara handed over the mound to Satoshi Komatsu in the second inning after allowing one run in one inning.
