The official was surprised, too! Doosan's 150 km twin gun storm growth! → Kim Taek-yeon, the boy's No, Doosan's confidence with a reason

However, there was also a controversy over the "harshness". Kim Taek-yeon, a high school graduate, pitched 60 games and 65 innings. Although he won the Rookie of the Year award, it is true that special management is needed in the early stages of his career. Lee Byung-hun, a third-year professional, also pitched 65 ⅓ innings. Lee Byung-hun suddenly pitched more than double compared to 27 innings in 2023. It was pointed out that dependence on Kim Taek-yeon and Lee Byung-hun should be reduced.
Doosan moved in a strange way in the offseason. Rather than reinforcing the bullpen, bleeding occurred. Kim Kang-ryul, who played in 53 games in 2024, left for LG. LG courted Kim Kang-ryul more actively than Doosan, who declared FA. Doosan also traded key midfielder Jung Cheol-won to Lotte. He sent Jung Chul-won and infielder Jeon Min-jae and brought pitcher Choi Woo-in and outfielder Kim Min-seok and Choo Jae-hyun. Right now, 74 ⅓ innings (42 innings for Kim Kang-ryul and 32 ⅓ for Jung Cheol-won) disappeared from the first team.
Doosan has something to believe in. The growth of right-hander Choi Jong-in and left-hander Park Ji-ho is steep. Both crossed the 150-kilometer mark. The field's opinion is that the performance he showed for a short time in the first team in 2024 will not be 'Twinkle Performance'. They even caught the attention of Japanese club officials in the Miyazaki Education League in the fall.
Choi Jong-in pitched nine ⅔ innings in 11 games in 2024. He achieved one win and two holds and one save. Choi Jong-in received the 89th pick in the second round of the 2020 Rookie Draft. Choi Jong-in, who was 185cm tall and thin, was reborn as a muscular body through weight training. In the process, the speed increased by more than 10 kilometers. Park Ji-ho is a left-handed fireballer who needs to come to hell even if he goes to hell. Park Ji-ho is No. 42 in the second round of the 2024 Rookie Draft. All he did was pitch one ⅔ inning in the first team in 2024 and snatched one hold without losing a point.

In fact, Doosan's bullpen is also abundant in quantity. Starting with Kim Taek-yeon, Hong Gun-hee, Choi Ji-gang and Lee Byung-hun are sure to have the resources to prevent the seventh to eighth innings. Lee Young-ha will be assigned through the spring camp, but he is a swingman who can play both the starting relief and long relief. Left-hander Lee Kyo-hoon is also a rising star, and Kim Myung-shin and Park Chi-guk are already proven resources. On top of that, if Park Ji-ho, the final player, explodes his potential, Doosan has nothing more to want.
