Lee Bum-ho, manager of the Kia Tigers, said, "It would be ideal if one to two players can make a new pace every year at the end of the regular season. The term 'new pace' refers to players who can use it as a substitute in the first team, if not as a main player.
It is not an easy task. A team that is weak in capacity is not an easy mission. The team is bent on filling holes in its existing capacity, and its competitiveness to upgrade its capacity is determined. However, teams with good depth and capability like KIA have enough time to wait for the new pace to become the top team. This makes it easier for the team to establish a new pace. For this reason, teams with good capability and performance can also rebuild well.먹튀검증
KIA has pitcher Kim Ki-hoon, infielder Byun Woo-hyuk and outfielder Park Jung-woo in its final training camp in Okinawa, Japan. Byun and Park Jung-woo have already been backup candidates for this year's first division. If they grow up to the point where they threaten the team's starting lineup, KIA will naturally have a stable to prepare for future decline in skills of veterans.
Apart from these, infielder Yoon Do-hyun (21) is also expected to become a key resource of the first division next year. He was a rival of Kim Do-young during his middle and high school years. He has one shot, can clutch and is fast. He is also an infield multi-agent. In terms of potential, some rated him as Kim Do-yeong or higher.
However, he suffered from injury all over the past three years. He displayed strong performance this year as well, as he was named the MVP of the practice game of the Okinawa spring camp. Then, he suddenly injured his inner abdominal muscles in the last minute of the camp. Finally, he returned to the Futures League after completing rehabilitation. However, he had a double-base hit and forced himself to enter the third base, and suffered another deep bone fracture following his debut season.
The fixed pin that was inserted at the time was recently removed from the hospital. A Kia official said that his team failed to join the wrap-up camp. He will take care of himself again in the rehabilitation team to wrap up the 2024 season. Still, he showed promise by hitting 11 hits from 27 times at bat with 0.407 one homer, eight RBIs, five runs and one stolen base in six games for the first team at the end of this season.
Manager Lee Bum-ho said in a telephone conversation on the 3rd, "Fans know that we have to raise Yoon Do-hyun. We also need a blood transfusion of young infielders." However, he said, "If you follow suit, we will prepare you, but if you get hurt or can't follow suit, we have no choice. We have to let the player set his target and reach it. We have to break the egg ourselves. We will see if he displays his ability among powerful seniors."
In other words, Lee Bum-ho said, "I will give Yoon a chance in the future, but it is entirely up to me to establish myself in the first division. As he is such a talented and hard-working player, Lee will give him a chance in the spring camp next year. However, he indicated that he will strengthen his skills to a certain extent. Considering the future of KIA and Yoon Do-hyun, the 2025 season is really important.
