‘Kim Jin-wook → Han Hyun-hee and Seo Jun-won leave it to me!’ Dedicated coaches for each field… WBC vacancy ‘no abnormality’
How will the pitching coach Bae Young-soo fill the gap left?
There are quite a few variables in the Lotte Giants, who are in the process of spring camp for the 2023 season in Guam. The absence of the main pitching coach.
Coach Bae and finisher Kim Won-joong headed to the United States on the 12th to join the World Baseball Classic (WBC) 카지노national team.
Park Se-woong, who had been the chief of mound chemistry, headed to the United States on the same day after building up his body in Korea. Koo Seung-min is also staying in Sang-dong due to his personal circumstances.
Bullpen coach Kang Young-shik and second-team pitching coach Kwon Oh-won fill the void. In addition, training coach Kim Hyeon-wook, a ‘special helper’, also transformed into a pitching coach, albeit briefly, by taking advantage of his experience during his active career, which shone in ’20 bullpen wins’.
Lotte pitchers are losing weight day by day as ‘Hell’s conditioning’, echoed by screams every day, progresses. After the game, a lot of players visit the massage bed on the second floor of the building.
After pitching in the bullpen, coach Kim becomes the exclusive coach for sidearm Han Hyun-hee and Seo Jun-won. This was a special request from Coach Bae before leaving for America. Coach Kim is a legend who achieved ’20 bullpen wins’ in 1997.
After retirement, he is famous as a coach specializing in training from LG Twins-Samsung Lions to Lotte, but he has a lot of know-how to pass on as a sidearm. Guam training is a precious private tutoring time for Han Hyun-hee and Seo Jun-won.
Coach Kang Yeong-sik is in charge of left-hander Kim Jin-wook, who is not common in the Lotte camp. He used to have 2 seasons that didn’t live up to expectations, but Kim Jin-wook is still a top-class prospect with dazzling talent. His pitching balance was also refined based on his well-managed upper and lower body muscles. Coach Kang follows him like a shadow in not only pitching but also tubing and other conditioning.
Veteran pitchers such as Cha Woo-chan, Kim Sang-soo, Shin Jeong-rak, and Yoon Myeong-jun, who joined the team this winter, also add strength to the atmosphere. They are the ones who desperately whip each day.
In particular, Kim Jin-wook hangs out like a ‘best friend’ with Cha Woo-chan, who is 15 years older. Kim Jin-wook explained that he got along well while living as his roommate during the Tokyo Olympics.
Lotte’s Guam camp, aiming for the top 3 beyond fall baseball, is ‘ideal nothing’ despite the vacancy of the main pitching coach.
