"I thought about whether to prepare for a hit or focus on defense."

The Doosan Bears will play the first game of the postseason wild card game against the KT Wiz at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 2nd.

A day earlier, Doosan announced 30 entries to play in the wild card. The entry consisted of 14 pitchers, three catchers, eight infielders, and five outfielders.

Kim Dae-han, who had not played many games at the end of this season, made a surprise embarkation. Kim Dae-han hit .133 with one home run in 61 games this season. However, he was called back to the first team on September 17, 81 days after going to the second team, among the last seven games between the first and second teams. In the game against NC, which was the final game of the season, he failed to report a hit in seven games, including three innings of no hit. The batting was not very good, but Kim Dae-han was dramatically included in the postseason entry.

Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said, `I thought about Kim Dae-han and Jeon Da-min", he explained. Jeon Da-min showed not bad batting performance this season, hitting a batting average of 333 in 25 games. Jeon Da-min is definitely ahead of Kim Dae-han in terms of hitting sense.

Manager Lee pondered whether to prepare for the strike or focus on defense. There are more entries than the regular season. First of all, (Kim) Dae-han has better experience and defense skills than (former) Da-min. Rather than hoping for a hit, I put it in consideration of the pinch runner and logistical ratio. "

Meanwhile, Park Chi-guk, who played as a key bullpen this season, was excluded from the entry. Park Chi-guk recorded a 6.38 ERA with 2 wins, 3 losses and 1 save in 52 games this season. He played in three games from the 19th to the 24th and recorded a total of three scoreless ⅓, but was shaken by two runs in one inning against NC on the 28th, his last appearance of the season.

Coach Lee said in a training session ahead of the postseason, "(Park Chi-guk has been very worried because of the ups and downs this season. I thought one of the sidearm pitchers, Park Chi-guk and Park Jung-soo, should be out, but I posted it to test against NC. As a result, Park Chi-guk allowed two runs. So I decided to add pure water" he once explained.
