Geelong Korea, led by coach Lee Byeong-kyu, is about to have a meaningful ‘summer harvest’.

On the 8th (Korean time), Geelong Korea won the season 12 by winning an 8-5 come-from-behind victory at the end of the 4-game series against the Perth Heat in the 8th round of the 2022-23 Australian Professional Baseball (ABL) held at the Perth Empire Ballpark in Australia (Korean time). 19th) was raised. This is the most wins in three seasons of participation in the Australian League. Geelong Korea participated for the first time in the 2018-2019 season and ended with 7 wins and 33 losses (0.175), and recorded 11 wins and 29 losses (0.275) in the 2019-2020 season when they started sending KBO league prospects. Since then, I have been absent for two seasons in the aftermath of Corona 19, and this is the third season. Even if Geelong Korea loses all of its remaining 9 matches, it will finish with 12 wins and 28 losses and an odds rate of 0.300, the highest win rate since its founding. If you add 4 wins (5 losses), you get 16 wins and 24 losses, achieving a 40% win rate. There is a possibility that the ranking, which was at the bottom of the division 4 teams in both previous seasons, will be raised to the next level. As of the 9th, Geelong Korea, which belongs to the Southwestern Division, is in third place (0.387) ahead of the Melbourne Aces (10-17, 0.370) in odds without a ride.

Geelong Korea is a kind of educational league participation that provides opportunities to players seeking a comeback and a leap forward. On the other hand, ABL Southwestern 1st place Adelaide (20-12), Northeast 1st place Brisbane (25-7 loss), etc., include a number of influential players from the Australian national team that Korea will have to face at the World Baseball Classic (WBC) in March. They are strong teams. 메이저놀이터

It is a structure where it is difficult to expect results, but Geelong Korea is showing off its unfavorable performance as it gains confidence and composure as the game goes on. This is the atmosphere coach Lee Byeong-gyu created so that the players can solve the game on their own. In fact, the game on the 8th was a come-from-behind victory after manager Lee Byeong-gyu was sent off.

Director Lee’s mercenary technique, which pursues ‘winning baseball’ in the game, is also one of the backgrounds for the desired results. Even after coach Lee was sent off, Geelong Korea even had Ha Jae-hun (SSG), the former king of salvation who had become a great gun, stand by in the bullpen when Geelong Korea was chased by 8-5 at the end of the 10th inning.

The Australian league participated in earnestly with the meaning of gaining practical experience. The secret to Geelong Korea’s propaganda is to abandon impatience and maintain a sense of tension.
