The 'Premier 12' national team, led by head coach Ryu Joong-il, lost the first group match against Taiwan 3-6 at Taipei Dome in Taipei, Taiwan on the 13th. Starter Ko Young-pyo collapsed with six runs in two innings, and hitters were literally completely defeated with only three hits and empty balls.
Now, the next opponent is Cuba. The national team will play against Cuba on the 14th. The second starting pitcher for the Korean national team is Kwak Bin. Ryu Joong-il won both of his warm-up matches against Cuba at Gocheok Dome. Rather than a simple victory, it was an overall condition check because the pitching level of the pitchers who took the mound in the Cuban national team was not high.
However, the opponent he meets in the real world is too powerful. The Cuban national team foreshadowed Livan Moinello as the starting pitcher against Korea, the opponent who lost two consecutive warm-up matches.
Cuba was defeated by the Dominican Republic 1-6 on the 13th. He is on the verge of elimination as much as Korea. That's why he is using Moeenlo as a starter, which is read as a will to catch Korea. The strongest starting pitcher among the players of the Cuban national team will come out against Korea.

Japan has suffered from extreme pitching and hitting this season. Despite the overwhelming performance of the pitchers, Monello left the most outstanding performance. In short, it means the best pitcher in the league.

South Korea's batters are still in a heavy situation, with only three hits in the match against Taiwan. The Taiwanese pitchers were in very good condition. With the shock of the defeat against Taiwan lingering, he has to face the best pitcher in the Japanese league the very next day. Monello is a pitcher whose team Softbank advanced to the Japanese Series and played until the latest. Cuban sports media outlet 'JIT Deporte Cubano" released a photo of Monello, who was analyzing Korean hitters while watching a live broadcast of the Korea-Taiwan match in Taipei on the 13th.
Will Korea be able to successfully target Monello and successfully go to Tokyo.
