The Maginot Line is a practice game against Sangmu on the 6th. If he fails to play at that time, he is likely to take off his national team uniform naturally.
Kim Young-woong did not play in the warm-up match against Cuba held on the 1st and 2nd. I couldn't even train properly because my right shoulder was not good. When asked about Kim Young-woong after the game on the 2nd, Ryu Joong-il, manager of the Korean baseball team, said, "It's hard to play in the game, but I heard it's hard to train after stretching. I'm careful because it's the first painful part."
Even on the 3rd, a day later, his condition did not improve. Coach Ryu met with reporters before the team's training at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 3rd and said about Kim Young-woong's condition, `Normal training is not possible.'
Coach Ryu said, `Tomorrow (the 4th) I will take a day off, train on the 5th, and have a practice game against Sangmu on the 6th. If you can't make it to the game on that day, shouldn't you say you shouldn't?" he said. "I'm also going to the hospital, but I'm watching for now."
Kim Young-woong started as the 5th-3rd baseman in Game 5 of the Korean Series against the KIA Tigers at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 28th and played until the end with 1 hit, 1 RBI, and 1 walk in 3 at-bats, including a solo shot to right-center wall in the top of the first inning. In other words, there was nothing wrong with the body.
But when I was traveling by bus to join the national team, I had something wrong with my body. I'm thinking about it to the point where I have a sore throat, but it's getting longer than I thought.
Coach Ryu is paying great attention to hitting. The mound is weak in selection, but the bullpen is good, so you can think that you can cover it to some extent, but in the end, hitters have to hit and score to win. Of course, it is not easy to score points only with consecutive hits in international competitions, so a big one is needed. Currently, the players who have hit the most home runs in the national team are Kim Do-young (38), Kim Young-woong (28), Moon Bo-kyung (22), and Park Dong-won (20). Kim Young-woong's batting average was low at 252, but he had good slugging power to hit home runs and had advantages in fastballs, which can be expected in international competitions.
Coach Ryu said, `There are many third basemen in the national team. (Kim) Do-young, (Moon) Bo-kyung, (Song) Sung-moon is possible. "He's a friend with one shot, but his back is not good, so he can't train normally," he said with regret.
Ryu plans to confirm the final entry of 28 players after a practice game against Sangmu on the 6th. Currently, the national team has 18 pitchers, three catchers, nine infielders and four outfielders, and manager Ryu plans to set up the national team with 14 pitchers, two catchers, eight infielders and four outfielders, so four pitchers, one catcher and one infielder are missing from the current members. Kim Do-young's physical condition is expected to determine one infielder to be excluded.
