I post it in a comfortable situation”… ‘How to use primary nominations’ considering the national hitte
The Doosan Bears are one of the teams that had concerns about the back door last year. Hong Geon-hee, who finished the season with the opening of the 2023 season, revealed his anxiety as time passed. In the end, at the end of the season, Jeong Cheol-won was in charge of finishing the game.
The pitcher who will serve as the closing pitcher for the 2024 season has not yet been determined. While ‘experienced players’ Hong Geon-hee and Jeong Cheol-won are being mentioned as the most likely candidates, the opportunity may go to a pitcher who stands out in spring camp.
Among the prominent seniors, the name of ‘rookie’ Kim Taek-yeon is also appearing. Kim Taek-yeon, who graduated from Incheon High School, wore the Doosan uniform as the second overall pick in the 2024 KBO rookie draft, following Hwang Jun-seo (Hanwha Eagles) from Jangchung High School. He was evaluated as having both control and position, and showed off his improved skills last year at the high school stage, recording 7 wins, 1 loss, and an average ERA of 1.13 in 13 games and 64⅓ innings.
Kim Taek-yeon also showed his true value to his national team. He participated in the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) U-18 Baseball World Cup held in Taiwan last year, and showed off his powerful pitching with 2 wins in 6 games and 16 innings, an ERA of 0.88, and a whopping 29 strikeouts.
On the day of the draft event, the Doosan team welcomed Kim Taek-yeon’s arrival to the extent that they prepared uniforms with Kim Taek-yeon’s name engraved on them. Doosan general manager Kim Tae-ryong said, “We have been tracking several players since the spring, but Kim Taek-yeon showed consistency from the spring until the U-18 Baseball World Cup. He maintained good control and speed without injury, and (going forward) could be a stopper for Doosan within two to three years at the earliest. “I think it will grow,” he said, expressing his expectations.
However, Kim Taek-yeon had a relatively tight schedule compared to other pitchers as he was on the mound for all 5 days during the U-18 Baseball World Cup, and had to rest for a while. Doosan gave Kim Taek-yeon time to recover.
Doosan is still taking a cautious stance on how to utilize Kim Taek-yeon. Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop, who met with reporters at the Blacktown Baseball Stadium in Sydney, Australia on the 9th, said, “In the case of (Kim) Taecyeon, he entered camp without throwing a ball for five months. He has now pitched in the bullpen about three times, but he is still not feeling well. “It’s up,” he explained.
He said, “I did bullpen pitching twice in Icheon, but the number of pitches wasn’t enough. I think I’ll have to take some time and see. I can increase my pace by competing with my seniors. Anyway, nothing is important right now.” emphasized.
