Coach Lee Seung-yeop, "Kwak Bin selected for KIA gam
Doosan Bears coach Lee Seung-yeop gave advice to starting pitcher Kwak Bin, who returned from the Hangzhou Asian Games with a gold medal.
Coach Lee talked about Kwak Bin's condition and appearance ahead of the Suwon KT Wiz match on the 10th. Kwak Bin was selected as a member of the national baseball team for the Hangzhou Asian Games. However, he had to end the tournament without being able to throw even a single ball due to phlegm symptoms after moving to the local area. The good news for Kwak Bin was that he was able to receive the same gold medal regardless of whether he participated or not. He was able to receive important military service benefits in his life as an athlete. However, he was unable to do anything and could not help but feel like he was 'free riding', and Kwak Bin continued to express his regret for this.
The Asian Games are over, and the important thing is physical condition. Coach Lee said, “Bin Kwak stayed in Jamsil today and even played catch. We received reports that he has no major problems,” and added, “He will start in Friday’s game.” Doosan faces KIA Tigers at home on the 13th.
Coach Lee said, "I won the gold medal that I was aiming for, so it's over. It's not just Kwak Bin alone, it's a medal we won as a team. There's no need to be sorry. I guess I also cheered and played my part," and added, "Today, Coach Ryu Joong-il. I also talked to him on the phone. He tried to get him to pitch, but he said that in a see-saw game situation, the existing pitchers were throwing well and he couldn't get the timing right. Kwak Bin is a starting agent.
Coach Lee finally gave advice, saying, "Leave your regrets in Hangzhou, and now I hope you perform well in Jamsil. I hope you don't get too upset, and I hope you stay focused. I hope you have a strong mind."
