(Taipei = Yonhap News) Reporter Dae-ho Lee = The Korean national baseball team, which played 3 games in the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Premier 12 2024 group stage, had no starting pitcher complete 5 innings.

Ko Young-pyo (KT Wiz), the starter against Taiwan on the 13th, was replaced early after allowing 6 runs in 2 innings, and Kwak Bin (Doosan Bears), the starter against Cuba on the 14th, pitched the most 4 innings and lasted without allowing any runs.

And in the game against Japan on the 15th, Choi Seung-yong (Doosan) left the mound after allowing 2 runs in 1⅔ innings.

National baseball team coach Ryu Joong-il said ahead of the 4th game of the Group B match against the Dominican Republic to be held at Tianmu Stadium in Taipei, Taiwan at 7:30 pm on the 16th (Korean time), “Our starting team is collapsing quickly, so we keep getting overloaded in the middle.” .

In the national team, left-handed pitchers in particular suffer from high fatigue.

This is because there are only two left-handed pitchers in the bullpen: Choi Ji-min and Kwak Do-gyu (KIA Tigers).

Kwak Do-gyu appeared in all three games that Korea played, and Choi Ji-min also appeared in the match against Taiwan and Cuba.

Therefore, Coach Ryu said that Ko Young-pyo, who was designated as the starter against Australia on the 18th, may pitch against the Dominican Republic on the same day.

Manager Ryu said, “Like the Japan game, (if the starting lineup goes down early), I’m thinking of Go Young-pyo as a bullpen day. If Ko Young-pyo goes out, we have no choice but to make the Australia game a bullpen day.”

There is no shortage of young starting pitchers who are expected to perform well in international competitions in Korean baseball.

Won Tae-in (Samsung Lions) and Moon Dong-ju (Hanwha Eagles) proved that they are ‘international players’, and Son Ju-young (LG Twins) also showed potential.

However, these three were unable to join this tournament due to injuries, and the national team is having a difficult time taking the mound.

When coach Ryu was told that pitcher management would be difficult, he worried, “It won’t be difficult for me. It will be difficult for the players.”

Korea, which is on the verge of being eliminated from Group B with 1 win and 2 losses, must win against the Dominican Republic on this day and against Australia on the 18th before watching the rest of the team’s games.

On this day, Korea had Hong Chang-gi (left fielder) – Shin Min-jae (second baseman, LG) – Kim Do-young (KIA, third baseman) – Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter) – Park Dong-won (catcher, LG) – Song Seong-moon (Kiwoom Heroes, first baseman) – Yoon Dong-hee ( The selection continues from Lotte Giants, right fielder) to Park Seong-han (SSG Landers, shortstop) to Choi Won-jun (KIA, center fielder). I made a lineup.
