Japanese media 'Spotiva' posted an article titled 'Why did a promising Korean professional baseball player participate in the Japanese Winter League alone without an interpreter?' on the 5th. Park Chi-guk (27, Doosan Bears) is a promising player that "Spotiva" paid attention to. Park Chi-guk joined the ongoing Winter League in Okinawa, Japan in early December.
The Okinawa Winter League in Japan is a stage where individual players, not a team, can join and play as a team. 'Spotiva' has 143 players from 14 countries and regions' explained that there were 'Seibu Lions, Rakuten Golden Eagles, Yokohama DeNA BayStars, Taiwan Tung Lions, Zhongxin Lions, and the Chinese national team that sent 26 players in preparation for the World Baseball Classic (WBC) in March 2025.
Park Chi-guk is the only Korean. The media introduced '26, a 26-year-old ironclad pitcher who joined Doosan in the second round of the rookie draft in 2017 and played more than 60 games in eight seasons of the Korean professional baseball league.
Park Chi-guk left for Okinawa, Japan, to establish a pitching form. Park Chi-guk has been constantly agonizing over the angle of throwing arm this season. Park Chi-guk pitched in 52 games this season, recording a record of 2 wins, 3 losses and 3 holds with an ERA of 6.38. From 2018 to 2020, he played more than 60 games and played as a key bullpen, but he slowed down for the next two years. He seemed to revive with a 3.59 ERA with 5 wins, 3 losses, 2 saves and 11 holds in 62 games in 2023, but suffered again last year.
There was a pitching form concern in it. In order to take advantage of the strength of a sidearm pitcher throwing 150km, the arm angle must be slightly raised. On the other hand, when the arm angle goes down, the movement of the ball is clearly revived.

Park Chi-guk decided to lower his arm for the upcoming season. The Okinawa Winter League was to find conviction. Ahead of his departure, Park Chi-guk said, `In the end, I try to make use of my strengths,' ```````.
In an interview with 'Spotiva', Pak Chi-guk responded "Yes" to the question "Is it because of the octagonal problem?" The media added that `I came to Okinawa's winter league because I had a clear purpose.'
There was a clear effect of returning the rest by using his own money. When asked about the level of the Okinawa Winter League, Park Chi-guk said, "I came to pitch my pitch. I was able to achieve my goal." When asked '100%', Pak Chi-guk answered "90%"The remaining 10% wanted to test the breaking ball more"I was confident.
