Daegu Samsung Lions Park on the 25th when the third game of the Korean Series between the KIA Tigers and the Samsung Lions was held.
Surprise guests appeared. Coach Ibata of the Japanese national baseball team visited Daegu with the coaching staff in person. Coach Ibata will lead the Japanese national team of the Premier 12 in Taiwan and Japan next month. I watched Game 3 of the Korean Series for that power analysis. Not only coach Ibata, but also coach Cuban Jonsson and officials sat side by side and watched the game. South Korea will play against Japan, Cuba, Taiwan and the Dominican Republic in Group B of this year's event.
The reason for the visit is clear. South Korea first announced a 35-man training list to draw up the Premier 1228-man entry. There are only seven KIA players and four Samsung players. Most of KIA's bullpen players, including superstar Kim Do-young, were listed. Samsung included Koo Ja-wook, Kim Young-woong, and Kim Ji-chan.
Kim Do-young, who had a batting average of 347, 38 homers, 109 RBIs, 143 runs and 40 steals, failed to join the club for the second time in history, was the main target of observation. Or I wanted to see Koo Ja-wook, but was he sad that he couldn't play due to a knee injury.

The Japanese coaching staff was reportedly surprised by how the batter who entered the batting order at No. 7 could have such a punch power. Of course, Kim Young-woong was often included in the central lineup in the regular season, and although he gave up his fifth position to Kim Hun-gon, who was in good condition, and came down to seventh strategically, coach Ibata and other Japanese coaching staff expressed surprise at Kim Young-woong's fast head speed and natural wrist strength.
Has Kim Young-woong established himself as a new target of attention in Japan.
