San Diego Padres Kim Ha-seong (28) is showing the best performance and is having a successful third year in ML. His batting ability exploded, including his first home run with bases, and he is now being mentioned as an MVP candidate 바카라.

However, in the second baseman Gold Glove competition, the trend is rather the opposite. Even before the All-Star break, they had an overwhelming edge over their competitors. It was at the stage where the fans were convinced that “(in the list of winners) it was as if ‘Kim Ha-s’ had already been written.”

But lately, unusual signs have begun to appear. Of course, there is no change in the status of ‘the most powerful candidate’. But a new competitor has emerged and is rapidly closing the gap. This is the appearance of the dark horse.

According to the data released last week by the American Baseball Research Association (SABR), Ha-seong Kim took the lead with SDI ‘8.3’ in the National League second baseman category. The SDI (SABR Defensive Index) is an index that measures the Gold Glove award. The tally is announced once a month, and Kim Ha-seong has been holding a solid first place since the beginning of the season. He took a close three-point lead over second-place tiero Estrada (SF Giants).

However, the pattern was different in the August tally. First of all, the face of the competitor has changed. Estrada (SDI 4.8) slipped to fifth place. Instead, new pursuers appeared. Bryson Stadt (6.4) of the Phillies, Nico Horner (5.7) of the Cubs, and Bryce Tourang (5.7) of the Brewers rose.

Among them, you should pay attention to the run of the second-ranked Stat. The difference between 1st place Kim Ha-seong and SDI is only 1.9. That’s the closest we’ve come this year.

Above all, the trend is unusual. First of all, Kim Ha-seong is at a standstill. It only increased by 0.3 from July (8.0). Previously, it was up about 2.0 per month. On the other hand, the stag comes up with terrifying momentum. Until June, it stayed in 6th place with 1.3. However, it is a sharp rise from 4.0 in July to 6.4 in August. At some point, it emerged as a threat.

He joined the Phillies with the 1st draft (14th overall) in 2019, and his original position is shortstop. He was upgraded with the move to second base this year with the addition of Trey Turner. He established a franchise record with an opening 17-game hitting streak. He is admired by Philadelphia fans as the successor to Chase Utley for his agile and stable defense.

The ML Gold Glove awards are based on defense. The voting group is made up of 30 club managers and coaches (up to 6 people per team), and you cannot vote for your own team players. Here, a device was created to prevent the tendency to follow the name value. Since 2013, objectivity has been improved by adding up SDI. Winners are determined by dividing 25% of SDI into 75% of the voting results.

In addition, SDI data is provided monthly to the voting members. means to note. Therefore, it should be seen that this figure directly or indirectly affects the award. In the case of last year, the golden glove of the AL pitcher and the NL pitcher, third baseman, and shortstop in the rest of the positions matched the SDI first place. 14 out of 18, which is a 77.8% match rate.

As it was premised, there is no change in the fact that Ha-seong Kim is a strong candidate. However, there is a concern that a new competitor has appeared, and considering the trend, it will pose a different threat than before. In addition, the performance of the affiliated team can also affect the judgment of the voting group. The Phillies are leading the wild card and are likely to advance to the PS.

Of course, it is true that the value of Kim Ha-sung has risen markedly in the last 2-3 months. This is because he is on the right track from defense and running to batting. Thanks to that, it is also a good thing that his name is mentioned in the MVP level, which is much higher than the Gold Glove.

However, it is a title that cannot be given up. None of the Asian infielders have yet won the award. It is the first time in history, and the honor of being unanswered. In fact, an MVP candidate sounds good, but the odds are slim. On the other hand, Gold Gloves are like cash. It becomes a realistic and certain career.

Above all, it is a race that has been considered a strong candidate throughout the season. There should be no endgame reversal allowed. It is a phase that requires a meticulous and sincere finish.

Doosan baseball team right-hander Kwak-Bin Kwak has pitched his best game of the season and reached double-digit wins for the first time since his professional debut in 2018 메이저사이트.

Kwak-Bin started a home game against SSG in the 2023 KBO League at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Friday and threw 102 pitches over eight innings, allowing just four hits and three walks. He struck out five. Kwak Bin earned his 10th win of the season (6-0) as Doosan won 10-1. It was the first time in his career that Kwak reached the 10-win mark, as he made his professional debut in 2018 and went 3-1 with one save that year, 4-7 in 2021, and 8-9 last year. His joy was doubled when he lowered his ERA, which was 2.97 before the game, to 2.74 with eight scoreless innings of relief.

The first overall pick of Doosan out of Bae Myung-go in 2018, Kwak-Bin appeared in 32 games that year and posted a 7.55 ERA, but he stuck in the minds of fans for his fastball. However, his season was cut short due to elbow pain, and he underwent Tommy John surgery in October of that year to repair the ligaments in his elbow.

After missing the entire 2019 and 2020 seasons due to surgery and rehabilitation, Kwak-Bin transformed into a starter in 2021 and played his first full season as a rookie. He struggled with his velocity, walking a whopping 79 batters in 98.2 innings, but showed promise as he finished the season healthy. In 2022, he threw 147.2 innings, his first full season as a professional. He pitched nearly 50 more innings than the previous season, while striking out 60 batters. His ERA improved from 4.10 in 2021 to 3.78 in 2022, proving that he has the stuff to be a top-tier homegrown starter. His strong second half earned him a spot on the national team.

In 2023, he finally unleashed his potential, especially in April, when he pitched 30.2 innings in five games, giving up just three earned runs (six hits) and posting a monthly ERA of just 0.88. His velocity is still a work in progress. Prior to this game, he was walking 4.02 batters per nine innings, up from 3.66 in the 2022 season. However, his fastball, which tops out at 150 mph, has lowered his BABIP to 0.199, more than five points lower than in 2022 (0.253), and he is on pace for his first career double-digit ERA.

His opponent on the mound will be SSG’s homegrown ace, Kim Kwang-hyun. Against a senior who is one of the most dominant pitchers in the history of the KBO, Kwak-Bin’s fastball dug into opposing hitters with ease. While Kim Kwang-hyun gave up seven runs (six earned) on nine hits in four innings, Kwak-bin shut down SSG’s bats. There was no threat until the sixth inning.

In the seventh and eighth innings, the Bears celebrated Kwak-Bin’s 10th win by throwing a no-hitter. In the seventh inning, he gave up a single to Han Yoo-seom with two outs, but right fielder Kim Tae-geun caught Kim rushing home on a clothesline throw. In the eighth, Kim Sung-hyun’s shallow foul fly was caught by Rojas in left field with runners on first and second.

With 102 pitches in the eighth inning, Lee could have gone to the mound for the final out, but he chose not to. He called up Kim Yoo-seong, who was called up to the first team, and with the score at 10-0, Kim took the mound and gave up just one run to end the game.

“I think I was the only one who was shaken up because we didn’t get a win in the first three games, but (Choi) Won-joon said it will come with practice, so I think it was mainly because I pitched today with a relaxed state of mind,” said Kwak Bin in the postgame interview. Kwak-Bin, who reached nine wins with the victory over Hanwha on the first of this month, was the losing pitcher in the games against KT on the sixth, Hanwha on the 12th, and NC on the 20th.

This was the first time he pitched eight innings in his professional debut. As he threw 102 pitches, he might have wanted to get his first complete game. “I had the desire to complete the game, but I also have the next game to pitch, so I gave up my desire in the eighth inning,” Kwak said. “It was an honor to face the best left-handed pitcher in Korea, and I believe that winning will give me a chance to grow one step further,” he added.

Kwak has faltered in the second half of games, going 1-4 with a 4.97 ERA. What was different this time? “I thought I was strong in the second half, but this year I faltered in the second half, so I think I thought, ‘Why not’? The pitching coach and the pitching staff also told me that there was no problem with my form or delivery. Coach Lee Young-soo gave me a lot of mental advice, so I think it worked well to change my mentality to a positive one. Also, the batters supported us with seven runs early on, so we were more focused.”

Kim Tae-geun, who started in right field, drove in the game’s first run with a leadoff single in his debut, and also provided a crucial assist in the seventh inning to keep Kwak Bin’s no-hitter alive. “Before I could say thank you, (Kim) Tae-geun told me that I pitched well. He is also my Bae Myung-go senior. So I trusted him,” he said.

In addition to his fastball, Kwak-Bin was seen utilizing a variety of changeups. “I consciously used my curveball a lot because (Ahn) Seung-han knew that I could save my fastball if I used it well,” Kwak said.

Kwak-bin’s path to his first 10 professional wins was full of twists and turns, including elbow surgery after being drafted in the first round. For him, his first 10 professional wins were a gift that came at the right time. “It’s nice to get my first 10 wins, but I still have a lot of baseball left to play, and I want to be a better player next year and an even better player the year after that,” he said, “I think 10 wins is about right. To be honest, I didn’t expect to be in the first team at 23. The professional barrier was so high,” he said.

When asked about his goals for this season, he said, “At the beginning of the second half of the season, I thought it would be nice to keep my ERA in the low 2s, but when I thought about it, I realized that I’ve always been a low 2s pitcher. I want to pitch a lot of innings even if it goes to 3s.”

Kwak will be traveling to the Hangzhou Asian Games next month. Kwak’s late-season struggles have led some to worry that the ace is faltering. “No matter how well I pitch, the ace of the Asian Games team is (Park) Se-woong-i Hyung (Lotte) and (Moon) Dong-joo (Hanwha). I told Dong-ju, ‘Dong-ju, you have to do it.’ We’ll do it together, so I’ll do my best,” he said.

Vietnam highlighted Son Heung-min’s presence.

The Korean national 바카라 soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will start to warm up in Korea in October after the European away evaluation match in September.

Tunisia has been confirmed as Klinsmann’s opponent for the domestic evaluation match in October, and Vietnam is likely.

Coach Klinsman explained the background of the match, saying, “If we play Asian Cup and World Cup regional qualifiers, we will face Asian teams, and the confrontation with Vietnam can be meaningful in terms of preparing for matches with other types of teams.”

In the situation ahead of the confrontation with South Korea, the Vietnamese media ‘Bongda Plus’ highlighted the presence of Captain Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min scored 23 goals in 2021/22 and won the English Premier League (EPL) scorer for the first time in Asia.

Naturally, expectations for last season grew. However, due to the aftermath of a facial injury and sports hernia, he was unable to show proper performance, swallowing regret.

‘Bongda Plus’ mentioned, “Son Heung-min was sluggish last season, but one of the reasons was that he wore a mask due to a cheekbone injury and had symptoms of a hernia.”

“Son Heung-min is a player who finishes better than any other striker. Because he uses both feet well, he is always a threat when scoring from any position, both inside and outside the penalty box.”

He continued, “Son Heung-min is 31 years old, but thanks to his strong point, mutant speed, he can tear through the opponent’s defense,” admiring that he can still show his best performance.

On the other hand, criticism continues about Vietnam being decided against Korea’s A match.

It is pointed out that it is necessary to meet with a stronger sparring opponent ahead of the Asian Cup and World Cup regional qualifiers and temper it.

Coach Klinsman said, “I want to play against the best teams in the world, such as Brazil, Argentina, Germany, England and France.”

He expressed his regret, saying, “Nowadays, it is difficult to find an opponent because competitions are held by continent during the A-match period.”

The players burst into bread due to Park Hae-min’s exaggerated batting form’

LG players, who took a 메이저놀이터 sweet break in the forced march as the previous two games were canceled in the rain during the three consecutive matches during the week, were on the ground ahead of the Lotte match on the 24th. I spun the bat vigorously.

After a good rest, the beasts trained with more fighting spirit than usual. Moon Bo-kyung, who approached Shin Min-jae and Moon Seong-joo before hitting training, began to examine the bat carefully. Moon Bo-kyung, who was looking around, eventually made a gesture to Shin Min-jae, saying, “My brother’s bat doesn’t suit me,” as if he liked his bat the most, and headed to the batting cage.

Park Hae-min, who appeared at the place where Moon Bo-kyung left, raised the atmosphere by swinging with an exaggerated batting form in front of Moon Sung-ju. At this moment, Park Hae-min, who had a cramp in his arm, complained of pain, and Moon Seong-ju burst into tears. Park Hae-min’s delightful behavior brightened the atmosphere on the pitch.

Moon Bo-gyeong, Park Hae-min, and Hong Chang-ki gathered for a while in the training that followed, giving each other advice on batting.

The LG Twins are firmly holding the No. 1 spot. The first place team was pleasant from the training atmosphere before the game. LG aims to win the Korean Series for the first time in 29 years since 1994. He played 104 games before the match against Lotte on the 24th. 64 wins, 38 losses, 2 draws, odds of 0.627. 2nd place KT and 6.5 games car are firmly defending the 1st place.

1st place with a team batting average of 0.285. The team’s ERA was also 3.59, ranking first. The LG Twins, who are running first in the pitching match. The faces of the players preparing for the game were also bright.

LG, who has a slight advantage against Lotte this season with 6 wins and 5 losses, announced Barnes as the starting pitcher for Lotte, who is 2.5 games behind Doosan in 5th place and 7th place in Kelly.

DGB Daegu Bank Park, the home stadium of Daegu FC, is said to be perfect if only away fans fill the seats.

Daegu will have a match 소닉카지노 against Jeju United in the 28th round of Hawon Q K League 1 2023 at DGB Daegu Bank Park in Daegu at 7 pm on the 26th.

Daegu returned home after a 2-2 draw in the previous round away from FC Seoul. The current standings with 6 games left in the regular round are 8th (35 points). The difference between Incheon United and 6th place is only 2 points. In order to rise to the top in the fierce mid-table battle, you must win against Jeju.

Daegu, which has been sluggish in the last six matches, has many good memories in Jeju. Their overall record is somewhat inferior with 14 wins, 16 draws and 19 losses, but they have an advantage with 2 wins and 3 draws in the last 5 matches. In the first match of the season on March 4th, a goal by Baselus resulted in a 1-1 draw. In the rematch on July 7th, Hongcheol and Jang Seongwon scored goals and won 2-1.

The experience of a veteran in a crisis is working as a great force for the team. The eldest brother, Lee Geun-ho, scored his 80th goal in the K-League career by scoring a goal in 4 games in the 23rd round against Gwangju FC and then against Seoul. Captain Sejingya also added an assist that day, recording 50 points and 50 assists for the first time since the introduction of the promotion and relegation system with only the K-League 1 record.

Jeju lost 0-1 to Suwon Samsung. For both Daegu and Jeju, a win in this round is important for a jump in the rankings. The key is to get the 3 victory point supplement.

On the other hand, the home game against Jeju was sold out at 6:00 pm, 4 hours after the general ticket reservation started on the 19th, except for the away seats. On this day, Daegu prepared various events such as ‘Lee Yong-rae Day’ and ‘Sky Save Day with DGB Daegu Bank’ with the theme of midfielder Lee Yong-rae.

The match between Hanwha Eagles and Samsung Lions was canceled due to rain 토토사이트.

KBO decided to cancel the 13th match between Hanwha and Samsung teams in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League scheduled to be held at Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park on the 23rd. The match was canceled at around 6:25.

It was a situation where we had no choice but to decide to cancel the rain. There was a nationwide rain forecast from the morning of this day, and raindrops fell in the Daejeon area ahead of the start of the game. Moreover, there was a forecast that it would continue to rain after that.

Since it was not raining, the game was about to start. However, a tarp was installed on the ground about 20 minutes before the start of the game. The rain continued to intensify. Game supervisor Lim Chae-seon decided that the game could no longer be played and the game was canceled.

On this day, Hanwha was Moon Hyun-bin (2nd baseman) – Lee Do-yoon (shortstop) – Roh Si-hwan (3rd baseman) – Chae Eun-seong (1st baseman) – Kim Tae-yeon (right fielder) – Nick Williams (designated hitter) – Choi Jae-hoon (catcher) – Choi In-ho (left fielder) – Lee Jin-young (Center fielder) The lineup was organized in order. The starting pitcher was Han Seung-joo.

Samsung, on the other hand, Kim Hyeon-jun (center fielder) – Kim Seong-yoon (left fielder) – Koo Ja-wook (right fielder) – Jose Pirella (designated hitter) – Ryu Ji-hyeok (3 baseman) – Lee Jae-hyeon (shortstop) – Oh Jae-il (1st baseman) – Kim Jae-seong (catcher) – Kim Ji-chan ( 2nd baseman). Baek Jung-hyun was the starting pitcher. However, the match was canceled and we had to leave the stadium.

Meanwhile, the next day, Hanwha announced Moon Dong-joo as the starting pitcher, and Samsung announced Taylor Widener as the starting pitcher.

Sharp turnaround. The vaunted New York Yankees have crashed and burned. The momentum that propelled them to 99 wins last season and the American League East title in the dreaded AL East has completely evaporated. They are in last place in the division and have a 0.5% chance of making the postseason.

FanGraphs put the 소닉카지노 Yankees’ chances of making the postseason at 0.5 percent on Aug. 22 (ET). In effect, the season is over. The Yankees currently sit at 60 wins and 64 losses. Their recent eight-game losing streak has shattered their five-game winning percentage.

They’re a long way from winning the division. At 77-47, they are a whopping 17 games behind the Baltimore Orioles, who led the division with an American League-best .621 winning percentage. A recent series loss to the fourth-place Boston Red Sox has been devastating. They’re now 5.5 games behind the Red Sox, and their chances of escaping last place are fading.

Last season, the Yankees were a force to be reckoned with. With solid performances from both sides of the plate, they led the division all season and went 99-63. They won the AL East, one of the toughest divisions in baseball. Finished seven games clear of the second-place Toronto Blue Jays.

Participated in the Fall Classic. They won the American League Division Series and advanced to the Championship Series with a three-game lead over the Cleveland Indians. However, a four-game sweep by Houston in the Championship Series ended their World Series hopes.

The Yankees have 38 games left to play this season. It’s virtually impossible for them to catch up to division leader Baltimore. Earning a wild card is also looking difficult. They are currently in the seventh wild card spot in the American League. They’re 9.5 games behind the third-place Seattle Mariners (70-55). Unless they go on a miraculous winning streak, it’s unlikely they’ll be able to avoid falling out of contention.

In the wake of the Yankees’ struggles, the teams in the middle and upper half of the “Dreaded AL East” have a very high probability of making the postseason (per Fangraphs). Leaders Baltimore had a 99% chance and the Tampa Bay Rays had a 96.6% chance of clinching an invitation barring an upset. Ryu Hyun-jin’s team, the Toronto Blue Jays, also received 63.2% of the vote, while Boston received 11.9%.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Braves, who are in first place in the National League East, and the Los Angeles Dodgers, who are in first place in the National League West, have a 100% chance of making the Fall Classic. On the other hand, the Kansas City Royals, Oakland Athletics, Washington Nationals, St. Louis Cardinals, and Colorado Rockies, who sagged to the bottom of the division, were given a postseason probability of zero.

Eui-ji Yang, the core of Doosan Bears’ power, returned to the first team stage after recovering from an injury.

Doosan registered Yang Eui-ji and Kim Tae-geun as first-team entries prior to the 12th game of 스포츠토토 the season against Kiwoom Heroes of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 22nd. Following infielder Park Ji-hoon’s expungement on the 21st, Ahn Jae-seok was left out of the entry on this day.

Yang Eui-ji was canceled from the entry due to a partial tear in the side muscle on the 8th, and has been focusing on rehabilitation. He has led Doosan’s batting line with a batting average of 0.323 (94 hits in 291 at-bats), 9 homers, 44 RBIs and an OPS of 0.906 in 87 games this season, but was unable to play for two weeks due to an injury.

After Yang Eui-ji left due to injury, Doosan suffered from extreme emptiness with a team batting average of 0.236 in 10 games. During this period, it was shaken with 3 wins and 7 losses, and the season 50 wins, 51 losses and 1 draw, the win rate collapsed to 50%. As they were chased without a ride by the 6th place KIA Tigers, the competition to advance to the postseason became more difficult.

With the return of Yang Eui-ji, Doosan was able to add weight to the other line. However, since Yang Eui-ji joined the first team immediately without going through the Futures League game, he plans to take care of it so that he can gradually recover his sense of actual combat.

Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop said, “Yang Eui-ji was registered as a first-team entry, but it seems difficult to start as a catcher in three consecutive matches against Kiwoom this week.” It’s a careful area to write,” he said.

In addition, “Yang Eui-ji is only put in pinch hit today. I will not digest the catcher’s defense,” he said. “Even Yang Eui-ji on the bench is a great help to the team. think,” he said.

Yang Eui-ji is still moving her body carefully. Coach Lee Seung-yeop added, “I saw Yang Eui-ui batting training, but he is not hitting with 100% power.”

On the other hand, Doosan had Jo Su-haeng (center fielder) – Kim Jae-ho (shortstop) – Rojas (left fielder) – Yang Seok-hwan (1st baseman) – Kim Jae-hwan (designated hitter) – Kim In-tae (right fielder) – Kang Seung-ho (2nd baseman) – Jang Seung-hyeon (catcher) – Heo Kyung-min (third baseman) formed the starting lineup. Ace Raul Alcantara will start as a starting pitcher.

Jurgen Klinsmann, coach of the Korean men’s national soccer team, expressed his thoughts on the ‘remote work’ controversy.

The Korea Football Association 소닉카지노 (KFA) held a video media conference on the 17th and 18th. Manager Klinsman held an unusual online press conference to answer various issues prior to the call for an A match in September.

Recently, Klinsman’s remote work has been controversial. Coach Klinsmann was criticized for working from home in the United States while coaching the German national team. When he came to Korea in March, when he was interested in whether he would reside in Korea, he calmed down his concerns, saying, “I will spend most of my time in Korea,” but it is not actually being followed. Due to his vacation and frequent foreign schedules, he spends much less time in Korea. He is currently working remotely from his home in the United States, so his press conference was also conducted in a non-face-to-face manner.

Regarding this, coach Klinsman said, “I went to Dublin, Ireland for about a week on a personal schedule. I couldn’t cancel the schedule because it was scheduled before I signed a contract as the coach of the Korean national team. , There I had the opportunity to meet Brentford Kim Ji-soo, so we had a conversation. After that, I came back to the United States.”

This is an explanation that is difficult to understand as the reason for not being able to stay in Korea all the time. Even if it was unavoidable to attend an event that could not be canceled, it is common sense for people residing in Korea to return to Korea rather than the United States after completing their personal schedule. Head coach Klinsman went to the United States after the European schedule, and is expected to join the national team for the European expedition.

Director Klinsmann also added that his place of work is not important, commenting on the changing times. “I think the way to communicate and observe the players is different from before, regardless of where they are physically. There is a way to go directly to the stadium, but even if you do not go, you can constantly communicate with the coaching staff in each country to check on the players’ condition. in the middle,” he said.

He once told a similar story at a press conference for his appointment. However, at the time, it was an answer to the coaching staff’s residing in Europe. It was argued that in a situation where remote meetings are technically possible, there is no need to always gather in one place. It was not that there was no awareness of the problem at that time, but it was accepted on the premise that director Klinsman would reside in Korea.

Now the premise is shaky. There is a concern that coaches as well as coaches will stay in Korea only for home games. Coach Klinsman, who expressed regret, saying, “There is an exaggeration to conclude that I do not live in Korea,” said coach Klinsman, who said, “In the second half of the year, since matches are held in Korea, there will naturally be more time to work in Korea.”

During coach Klinsman’s overseas schedule, there are many business trips to check Europeans. Last April, he looked back at Europeans such as Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae, and recently confirmed Son Heung-min and Kim Ji-soo. He plans to meet European players even before the A match in September. This is something coach Klinsman often mentions as a manager of the Korean national team.

There are also doubts about the meaning of frequent European inspections. Although the proportion of European players in the national team is higher than ever, most European players are already the main members of the national team. There are not many things that can be newly observed locally. Conversation with the players and contact with the club they belong to are sufficiently possible through ‘remote work’ as technology has developed these days. And above all, there is a coaching staff based in Europe. One of the reasons the coaches are local is to watch European players play and manage them up close.

The stage that the coach needs to pay more attention to can be the K-League. Still, about half of the national team members are K-leagues. In addition, new faces are mainly selected from the K-League. In order to manage the player pool, more careful observation is needed in many ways, but coach Klinsman has rarely visited the K-League site recently. When he briefly returned to Korea at the end of July, he was in the K-League 1 break period, so he watched a team K-League game in the form of an All-Star game.

Coach Klinsman denied the criticism that he was neglecting the K-League at a meeting. “I watched as many K-League games as possible, and coaches Cha Doo-ri and Michael Kim. I also watched (Paolo) Stringara and (Andreas) Köpke. (Based on the interview) This week (Andreas) Hairchoke The head coach will be watching the K-League,” he replied.

In other words, the director’s remote work only makes things more cumbersome. While coach Klinsman continues to be away due to overseas schedules, the European coaches who will be in charge of the European faction are alternately visiting Korea and visiting the K-League site.

KIA closer Jeong Hae-young (22) is going through hard times again in August. Against Daegu Samsung on the 19th, it was not used in a 1-point lead situation.스포츠토토 However, on the 20th, Daegu Samsung Electronics took the mound at the bottom of the 8th inning, trailing 4-6, and allowed 1 hit, 1 strikeout and 1 walk in 1 inning.

Jung Hae-young was fine with 3 wins, 1 loss, 2 saves and an average ERA of 3.00 in 12 games in April. However, he faltered with a 4.26 earned run average with 4 saves in 8 games in May. At the end of May, coach Kim Jong-guk ordered Jung Hae-young to go to the second army. Jeong Hae-young stayed in Hampyeong District 2 throughout June and did only balance training for a while.

Jung Hae-young actually held a ‘mini summer camp’ in Hampyeong. She focused on checking the shifting of the center of gravity. After the lower body moves, the upper body should move naturally, but the upper body moves first. Afterwards, after an inspection of the Futures League, he returned to LG on July 2nd.

Jung Hae-young’s trip to Hampyeong in June was successful. He bounced back with an ERA of 1.35 with 4 saves and 1 hold in 8 games in July. I was officially ordered to return as a closer by coach Kim Jong-guk. He also said, “The rotational power of the ball has improved” after the Gwangju Samsung Game on July 12 and balancing the pitching.

But in August, it shakes again. He has a 7.11 earned run average with one loss in six games. On the 1st and 2nd, the Pohang Samsung Game was sluggish with 1 inning, 1 hit, 1 walk, 1 run, 0.1 inning, 3 hits, 1 walk, and 3 runs. At the time, the climbing schedule was rather tight. On July 28-30, I fought 3 consecutive games in Gwangju Lotte, and after taking a day off on the 31st, I went back to the game on the 1st and 2nd, so it was 5 games in 6 days.

After that, he took three days off, and on the 6th, he recovered with 2 innings, 1 strikeout, 2 walks and no runs against Gwangju Hanwha. After that, the interval between the appearances widened again, and on the 13th, against Busan Lotte, 3 hits and 1 run in 1 inning was uneasy again. On the 17th, against Kiwoom Gwangju, he struck out 1 inning and scored no runs, but did not play on the 18th and 19th. It was strange for him to go out as he lost 2-12 on the 18th game, but on the 19th he was in a save situation but was rested.

Fortunately, in the game on the 20th, even if it was not a save situation, the pitching was fine. Although they sent out two runners, the pitch did not appear to be shaking rapidly. He mixed a slider and splitter with a 143km fastball.

After an 8-pitch battle against Koo Ja-wook, he induced a floating ball in left field with a 143km fastball. In fact, the ball count 2B2S seemed to pass the 140km 7-ball fastball through the inside strike zone, but the referee’s hand did not go up. SBS Sports commentator Kim Tae-hyung, who relayed the match, also said, “The ball was good, but there was no strikeout call.” At this time, Jung Hae-young lifted his leg and felt sorry for him, but his expression was bright.

Jung Hae-young wrote a new history of Tigers saves by winning 30 or more saves for the past two years in a row. However, he has slowed down this season with an average ERA of 3.73 with 3 wins, 2 losses, 10 saves and 1 hold in 34 games. His earned run average is also rather high for a closer, and, crucially, his save count of only 10 won’t be to his liking.

It is a type of closer where pitching balance and physical strength management are very important because it is a style that wins with rotation and vertical movement rather than speed. Looking at this season as a whole, it is clear that it is a struggle. It’s not good since August, but it seems to be on the recovery path, not conceding in 3 of the last 4 games.

Go to the climax of the ranking battle. KIA does not have time to send Jung Hae-young to the 2nd Army to prepare. We have to somehow adjust in the 1st team, endure and overcome. It is true that Lim Ki-young is the best in the bullpen when looking at his performance, momentum, and pitching this season. However, if Jung Hae-young is also a force to go with somehow, he must live unconditionally. The best scenario is for Closer to rebuild his pride and for KIA to settle in the top 5.
