The Doosan Bears played their final game of the season against the NC Dinos on the 28th of last month.
The remaining games we played after confirming the regular season as fourth place. It was a stage for Doosan to prepare for the wild card game.
The moment he tested the overall operation of the wild card game, including putting foreign pitcher Jordan Balazovic as his second pitcher. Doosan was also the place to confirm its final entry.
On this day, Doosan was in trouble over two sidearm pitchers. It was who would be included in the entry, Park Chi-guk or Park Jung-soo.
Park Chi-guk recorded a 6.38 ERA with 2 wins, 3 losses and 1 save in 52 games this season. Park Jung-soo had a record of 1 win, 2 losses and 4 holds with a 5.16 ERA in 29 games.
From experience, Park Chi-guk seemed to dominate. In particular, he played as a stable bullpen agent, recording 5 wins, 3 losses, 2 saves, 11 holds, and an ERA of 3.59 in 62 games last year. However, this season, he also showed signs of anxiety as he continued to have some ups and downs.
However, the scoreless streak continued in three games from the match against KIA on the 19th to the match against NC on the 24th. In particular, in the match against NC on the 24th, he seemed to find stability once again, striking out three in one ⅔ inning. Efforts to rebound, such as making changes to the pitching form, seemed to be paying off.

On the other hand, Park Jung-soo did not lose a point in the bottom of the seventh inning when he came up with the bases loaded with two outs before Park Chi-guk and caught Kim Joo-won with a ground ball to shortstop.
In the end, after a coaching staff meeting, Park Jung-soo was included in the final entry. An official from Doosan also expressed regret, saying, `Overall, my ball control has stabilized and improved a lot at the end of the season.'
Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said, `I've been thinking a lot about this season because I've been on a lot of ups and downs. The sidearm pitchers are (Park) Chi-guk and (Park) Jung-soo, but I thought one of the two should be left out"It's a result game, but I put it in to test the game on the 28th, but I lost two runs. So I decided to put an integer in the entry", he explained.
At the same time, it also left open the possibility of rejoining. Manager Lee said, `There are semi-playoffs and playoffs, so if you're preparing well, I'll upload them anytime," he stressed.
Meanwhile, Doosan surprisingly recruited rookie infielder Yeo Dong-gun and Kim Dae-han, who has good defense and main focus, to the final entry. Brandon Waddell, a foreign pitcher who is still playing a 35m catch, has not been named in the entry.
