Choi Won-jun to Support Doosan's Starting Lineup in Crisis

The reliable submarine is back. The Doosan Bears, which is competing for the fall baseball, gained momentum with Choi Won-joon 30 joining the starting lineup.

Doosan won 4-3 against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 29th. Su Hoon-gap was starting pitcher Choi Won-jun. Choi Won-jun allowed two runs in the first inning, but then blocked the LG slugging line until the seventh inning with two outs. Before the game, Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said, "I want you to prevent a short inning, if not a long inning," but he showed more than expected pitches. 6 2/3 innings, 4 hits, 1 strikeout, 3 outs, and 2 runs. Choi Won-jun's good pitching served as a stepping stone for the walk-off victory, although he failed to become a winning pitcher when he gave up a tie in the eighth inning.

Choi Won-jun said after the game, "It's better to stop losing consecutive games against LG 5 consecutive losses than my victory." Choi Won-jun, who finished the inning with three balls in the second inning, said, "It was not good, but the opponent helped me," adding, "The recent game had fewer pitches. I think I gained confidence because I played aggressively without avoiding it and the results were good. "Every game is important, so even if I go back to the bullpen, I have to do my part," he said.

Regarding the initial loss, he said, "The tempo was a little constant because I was so aggressive. My brother came up and told me. "I was told to change it because it was the right timing for the batter, but when I adjusted it, it was okay." Choi Won-jun, who recently played in the bullpen in two games, said, "It was actually hard. My arms didn't stretch well while I was preparing. So I prepared it in advance and it was okay. I thought it would be nice to play in the first division in any position," he said.

LG is a mobile team. He also actively sought to steal a base against sidearm Choi Won-jun. However, Choi Won-jun and Yang Eui-ji's battery was well saved. In the first inning, he gave Hong Chang-ki a steal and gave him a chance to score the first run, but in the third inning, he caught Park Hae-min with a quick and accurate check ball at first base. Choi Won-jun said, "We know which count you play in through power analysis. Jae-ho said, "I'm playing in the first pitch," so I checked, but it worked. It's the pitcher's job to stop it," he said.

Doosan's domestic ace Kwak Bin was away. On the 23rd, he joined the Hangzhou Asian Games national team. Raul Alcantara-Brandon Waddell one-two punch is certain, but there is a question mark on the domestic starting lineup. Choi Won-jun's pitching in a crisis situation was a great help to the team.

Choi Won-jun won 10 games in 2020, 12 in 2021, and 8 in 2022. He was a guaranteed starter who also had a three-point ERA for the third consecutive year. However, there have been many ups and downs this season. He was excluded from the entry due to poor ball control, and recently, he won three games of the season due to blisters. Choi Won-jun said, "There is no problem," explaining the blister condition.

Kwak Bin and Choi Won-jun are close friends who have been roommates. In particular, Choi Won-jun, who has experience in selection, taught Kwak Bin various tricks. Last year, he started side by side and made a winning bet. Coincidentally, as Kwak Bin went to the national team, Choi Won-joon had a chance to return to the starting lineup.

Choi Won-jun said, "In order for Bin to go and do well, rather than to do it right, we the rest have to do well and be in a high position. That way, there is a high probability of going to the Korean Series. Our three starters Alcantara-Brandon-Kwakbin are not behind other teams, he said, smiling, "I hope we can win a medal." "I keep in touch every day. "There are many good players like Moon Dong-ju and Won Tae-in, so don't try to carry them all, but I hope you play your role well," he said.

Choi gave up only five runs in 22 innings after the match against KT on August 17. Choi Won-jun said, "It's not like I can't make up for what I couldn't do before," but added, "As I went to the bullpen, 'Baseball isn't over this year, and I have to go next year.' "I tried to do what I could and what I had to practice, and I think I got better." However, Choi Won-joon's leap forward is a great help to Doosan this fall, not next year. 스포츠토토

'160km' Moon Dong-ju, Already a Global Star?

From the hope of the Hanwha Eagles, he quickly became the ace of the national baseball team. Isn't it too heavy a burden for a 20-year-old young man in his second year of debut.

However, Moon Dong-ju, who met after the practice of the national baseball team at the Hangzhou Asian Games on the 29th, looked bright. The national team held its first training session since entering the country at the Xiaoxing Baseball Culture Center near Hangzhou, China, and began adapting to the local area.

Moon Dong-ju, along with Kwak Bin, is a candidate for the selection of the match against Taiwan, where the national team's fate depends. "I'm in great shape," he said. I'm preparing well."

What would it be like to start a game that the whole nation is paying attention to. Moon Dong-ju said, "Not only me, but all players have such a burden. I try, but I can't say that I don't feel it," he said, smiling and emphasizing, "I think it will be important to become a team and overwhelm the game."

On the afternoon of the 29th, the Hangzhou Asian Games baseball team, led by head coach Liu Joong-il, trained at the Baseball Sports and Culture Center in Xiaoxing, Hangzhou, China. Moon Dong-ju is warming up with a catch.

Xiaoxing Baseball Stadium is a large stadium equivalent to Jamsil Stadium with 122m of central fence and 98m of both sides. Considering that it is a stadium that is not used to the pressure of the national team ace, it is a helpful environment for Moon Dong-ju.

Moon Dong-ju said, "Today, I took a picture and talked with a Singaporean player at the athletes' village. They knew me," he said. "He seemed to be interested in Korean baseball. "There is no mound at all in Singapore baseball stadium," he said.

He then brought up the story of "swapping badges." Athletes and officials from various countries who participate in international competitions often exchange commemorative badges (pins) to make memories. Moon Dong-ju said, "I want to collect all the badges," adding, "I want to exchange badges with the Singaporean player."

"I'm a roommate with Kwak Bin now, and I'm getting a lot of advice from baseball, and I'm also playing catch. I decided to help Bin on the day he takes the mound, and Kwak Bin on the day I take the mound." 스포츠토토

It is the first time since the game against LG on the 3rd. Considering that it was his first full-time season, his team Hanwha controlled the inning. Before coming to the national team, he only threw twice at Futures.

However, Moon Dong-ju said, "I'm used to taking a long break and throwing. There is no problem with the sense of practice. I am in a very light condition. I'm ready to show off my best performance," he said, showing off his confidence.

Taegeuk mark = Kim Jong-kyu, the man who put Hamed Haddadi to rest nine years ago is back

The national flag was soon Kim Jong-kyu, and he was still the best in the national team uniform.

South Korea's men's basketball team, led by head coach Choo Il-seung, won by 40 points 95-55 in the first Group D match of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games against Indonesia at Zhejiang Kim Najium in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China on the 26th.

I was able to laugh at ace Heo Hoon's 20 points and 7 assists. On top of that, Kim Jong-kyu's confidence in the "Kim Jong-gyu" mode led to a good start for Korea.

Kim Jong-kyu recorded 19 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks against Indonesia. With Ha Yoon-ki not playing due to mild ankle pain, he was seen as a big player who protected the bottom of the goal with Lee Seung-hyun and Ra Gun-ah.

Kim Jong-kyu's presence was extraordinary. He showed a wonderful dunk with fantastic teamwork with Heo Hoon. Indonesia, which is generally low in height, did not even think of a way to prevent Kim Jong-kyu's rim attack. It was a game that confirmed all the advantages of Kim Jong-kyu that we know, including active movements and securing space for scoring.

In particular, there is no doubt about Kim Jong-kyu at the Asian Games. He was the first hero to bring the gold medal in 12 years since the 2002 Busan Asian Games, tying Hamed Haddadi, the "King of Asia," at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games nine years ago. Then Kim Jong-kyu returned to Hangzhou.

No player is more reliable than Kim Jong-kyu when he wears the national team uniform. He was more devoted to the Taegeuk mark than any other active player and always played in international competitions unless he had a major injury. Although he has been undervalued due to his recent slump in the league, national team member Kim Jong-kyu is clearly different. 스포츠토토

Recalling the 2018 Asian Games in Palembang, Jakarta, which he was absent five years ago due to ankle surgery, Kim Jong-kyu said, "I felt sorry for everyone." It was a word that showed how he looked at the Taegeuk mark and how much patriotism he had.

If Oh Se-geun had not left the team, there would have been no place for Kim Jong-kyu. Kim Jong-kyu, who has devoted himself to the national team for a long time, must be hurt. Nevertheless, Kim Jong-kyu had a different mindset.

Kim Jong-kyu said in an interview before the competition, "Nine years ago in Incheon, I was able to get an opportunity with the help of my brothers as the youngest." Now I want to play that role and show good performance," he promised. And he kept his promise.

Kim Jong-kyu's performance can also be a great stimulus to Ha Yoon-ki. In the end, Ha Yoon-ki should also be a big help in order to win an away gold medal in Hangzhou for the first time in 41 years. As Kim Joo-sung did to Kim Jong-kyu nine years ago, Kim Jong-kyu is another stimulus to Ha Yoon-ki this year.

However, Kim Jong-kyu has one more promise to keep. He said, "I want to do an interesting job of the second gold medal with (Kim) Sun-hyung." Unlike in the past, this year's Asian Games have seen its competitors' power drop significantly. The Republic of Korea has also come to its current position, struggling with poor support and environment. On the day Kim Jong-kyu keeps his promise, Korea will make a new history in 41 years. I just want him to keep his promise.
