Ahead of the World Baseball Classic (WBC) Korean national baseball team’s convocation training in the United States, starting on the 15th (Korean time) at the Kino Sports Complex in Tucson, Arizona, the United States, officials from the team joined the team in turn.
Officials from the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), which supports the national team, went to the United States last weekend, and among the national team coaches, hitting coach Kim Ki-tae moved to the United States before him.
Coach Lee Kang-cheol, who was alone in thinking about the national team’s training schedule, met a reliable ally.
Among the national카지노 team coaches, 3rd base strategy coach Kim Min-ho (LG Twins), 1st base defense coach Kim Min-jae (SSG Landers), and Jin Gab-yong battery coach (KIA Tigers) are training in the United States like coach Lee Kang-cheol, who leads kt wiz and the national team at the same time, but they are training for their team. I haven’t joined the national team yet.
Coach Lee often met and shared information with KIA coach Jin Gap-yong, who trains with him at the Kino Sports Complex.
At the end of last year, coach Kim Ki-tae, who took over as coach of the KT Futures (2nd team) team, moved to Lee’s side before other coaches after leading the team in Korea.
Upon arriving in the U.S., coach Kim, who is well versed in Japanese professional baseball, such as serving as a batting coach for the Yomiuri Giants, is busy helping coach Lee to coordinate the schedule for five rounds of evaluation matches against Korean professional teams in Tucson and analyzing the strength of rival countries such as Japan.
Since the final entries of the 20 finals were announced on the 10th, it is time to analyze the power from now on.
Coach Kim Ki-tae was the core of the 2008 Beijing Olympics baseball team, which opened the golden age of Korean baseball, along with coaches Kim Min-jae and coach Chin Gap-yong.
Coach Kim worked as a batting coach at the time, and coach Min-jae Kim and coach Gap-yong Jin played as players, contributing to the Korean baseball legend of winning a gold medal in 9 matches.
Coach Kim Ki-tae, who values a serious attitude in baseball, is a leader who knows the weight of the Taegeuk mark and the attributes of the national team better than anyone else. As an atmosphere maker connecting players and coaches, he is evaluated as the best person to pass on the experience of the national team’s success.
In addition, he is the most senior among the coaching staff, so it seems that he will act as the de facto head coach.
Shim Jae-hak, the quality control coach in charge of analyzing the national team’s strength, also arrived in the United States on the 10th and is checking the condition of the national team players while touring each club.
The remaining pitching coach Jung Hyun-wook (Samsung Lions) and bullpen coach Bae Young-soo (Lotte Giants) will arrive in Tucson on the 14th along with Doosan Bears, Lotte, and Samsung representative players who are training in Australia, Guam, and Japan.
