The final entry of 28 Premier 12 players who will leave for Taiwan has been revealed.

KBO announced 28 final Premier 12 entries on the 7th. Kim Si-hoon (NC), Um Sang-baek (KT), Jeon Sang-hyun (KIA), Cho Min-seok (Sangmu), catcher Han Jun-su (KIA), and infielder Kim Young-woong (Samsung) were excluded.

The KBO Power Reinforcement Committee selected 35 training call-ups on the 11th of last month. According to the regulations, the final entry can be additionally replaced until the opening game, so that the players' condition and physical condition can be checked, and the entry can be replaced without confusion in the event of an injury. Since then, Son Joo-young (LG) Won Tae-in, Koo Ja-wook and Kim Ji-chan (Samsung) have been injured. Kim Si-hoo (NC) Lee Kang-joon and Cho Min-seok (Sangmu) were additionally selected as training players, and new power supply and demand were also made, with Lim Chan-kyu replacing Won Tae-in.

Coach Ryu expressed his intention to select the final entry based on his condition and physical condition after playing two warm-up matches against Cuba and a match against Sangmu. Ahead of the match against Sangmu, head coach Ryu expressed his concern, saying, `After the business match, I will consult with the coaching staff to decide the final entry and inform the KBO.' `Maybe anyone can say 'Why did you take it out?'

A total of 34 players trained until the end, with four pitchers and two fielders missing. One fielder has been decided early on. Kim Young-woong (Samsung), who failed to play in the Sangmu match due to pain in his shoulder, was excluded.

The part that had the most worries was the pitcher. First of all, there are five starting resources, including Kwak Bin, Ko Young-pyo, Um Sang-baek, Lim Chan-gyu, and Choi Seung-yong. Coach Ryu decided early on to select his first match against Taiwan (13th) and Cuba (14th). Kwak Bin and Ko Young-pyo, who were also starters in the Sangmu match, are likely to play. However, the selection of the match against Japan (15th) and the Dominican Republic (16th) has not been decided.

Manager Ryu said "The biggest concern is that four pitchers should be excluded from the pitcher. Up to 25 people have been decided, but opinions are divided over the last three."

In the match against Sangmu, the focus was on the inspection, including using both the national team and the pitchers as Sangmu players. After Ko Young-pyo pitched three innings, Lim Chan-kyu (1 scoreless inning), Lee Young-ha (1 scoreless inning), So Hyung-joon (1 scoreless inning), Kim Seo-hyun (1 scoreless inning), Cho Byung-hyun (1 scoreless inning), and Park Young-hyun (1 scoreless inning) took the mound in turn.

After Kwak Bin pitched three innings in the Sangmu uniform, Yoo Young-chan (1 scoreless inning), Kwak Do-gyu (1 scoreless inning), Kim Taek-yeon (1 scoreless inning), Jung Hae-young (1 scoreless inning), Choi Ji-min (1 scoreless inning), and Jeon Sang-hyun (1 scoreless inning) took the mound.

The players who did not take the mound in the match against Sangmu were Um Sang-baek and Choi Seung-yong, the starting resources, and Kim Si-hoon and Cho Min-seok, who joined as substitutes.

For now, Kim Si-hoon and Cho Min-seok, who joined as substitutes, were excluded from the list, and the remaining two seats were decided by Um Sang-baek and Jeon Sang-hyun.

Meanwhile, the national team will conduct its final training on the 7th and leave for Taiwan on the 8th. After training including practice games there, he will play his first game against Taiwan on the 13th.
