Coach Lee Seung-yeop greets players after winning

Doosan (6 wins, 9 losses), which has a weak bullpen, suffered come-from-behind losses five times this season.

Manager Lee said, “Pitchers must use the ball count to their advantage in order to overpower the batter,” and added, “There is a need to throw a lot of strikes because whether you are good at fighting the ball count or not has a huge impact on the outcome of the game.”

A walk was also disappointing in the game against the Hanwha Eagles, which they won 5-3 the previous day.

Doosan relief pitchers allowed a walk every inning starting from the 6th inning. Fortunately, no runs were conceded, and Kim Jae-hwan's three-run shot in the bottom of the 7th inning resulted in a dramatic come-from-behind victory.

Manager Lee also pointed out closer Jeong Cheol-won, who walked after two outs in the top of the ninth inning, and said, “We need to be a little stronger.”

However, as bullpen resources return to full strength one after another, the possibility of a turnaround increases.

Kim Myung-shin joined the first team the day before and recorded one inning of no runs, and Hong Geon-hee, who was responsible for Doosan's tailgate last year, is scheduled to be registered on the 11th.

Hong Geon-hee, who injured his finger during spring camp, completed preparations for his return to the first team the day before in the Futures (second team) league by allowing one hit, two strikeouts, and no runs in two innings.

Kim Taek-yeon, who left a strong impression in the MLB Seoul Series practice game, returned to the lineup the day before and is preparing to pitch. 스포츠토토맨
