"It's right to increase the number of entries for pitchers."

Hanwha Eagles manager Kim Kyung-moon actively voted in favor of expanding KBO League entries.

Currently, the KBO League registers 28 players, and 26 of them can play. Usually, teams make up an entry with a ratio of 14 pitchers and 14 fielders.



The fielders are originally highly dependent on the main players, and they can rotate to some extent. The starter is given enough time to rest if he does his part. The problem is bullpen pitchers. In particular, the fatigue of the winning team pitchers is high. Both winning and close games must be on standby and play.

Manager Kim talked about Weiss, a foreign substitute for filial piety "Foreign starting pitchers should be responsible for the innings to some extent, but if they don't, bullpen consumption will be too much. Recently, I think baseball should manage the bullpen as well as the starting pitcher."

When some said the entry should be expanded, head coach Kim said "If you look at the current KBO League situation, it's okay to increase the number of players by two instead of one " and "We raise controversy over the manager's abuse, but our league situation is not a situation where we can say that. You can't put losing pitchers in a winning game. It should be considered that must-win pitchers come out four times a week. In the end, a lot of throwing players throw, and we need to see not only the season but also the future. You have to protect the players. That's why I hope the number of entries will increase."

Director Kim said, `All the other directors are thinking the same way. There is a desire to take more pitchers to play with him.'"The Major League also has entry rules, but we have to do it according to our situation. I hope that the pitchers who throw well will not get sick and play for a long time. The bullpen players are as difficult as the starters. So I always insist on treating the club well with bullpen pitchers. I played catcher when I was active. Bullpens pitchers warm up from the bullpen every day and go to games. You have to have good physical strength."
