The NC Dinos have been the quietest team in the Korean Baseball Organization this winter.The Dinos were never called out in the free agent (FA) market, where 19 players were for sale. They were the only team to not sign a single free agent .Granted, most of them were original team retention deals, but it’s still a rather disappointing offseason considering the loss of starters Eric Peddie and Chang-mo Koo Peddie, who won three pitching titles in the 2023 season, was called up by the Chicago White Sox to return to the MLB, while homegrown ace Koo Chang-mo joined the commercial team last December after suffering an injury, which is why NC head coach Kang Myung-hwa, who met with the team at Incheon International Airport before departing for spring training on March 30, said, “We will decide the starting pitcher through fair competition in camp .”Finding a homegrown starter to keep pace with newly acquired foreign pitchers Daniel Castano and Kyle Hart is an urgent priority. Shin Min-hyuk, Lee Yong-jun, Lee Jae-hak, Choi Seong-young, and Lee Jun-ho, who all started last year, and Shin Young-woo, who has been learning the ropes in the secondary system, will fill the void. Notably, bullpeners Kim Young-kyu and Kim Si-hoon are in contention for the starting job.

Kim had a 3.06 ERA in 63 games, 61⅔ innings and 24 holds last year, while Kim had a 4.44 ERA in 61 games, 52⅔ innings and 12 holds.NC had the third-best bullpen ERA (3.92) in the league last year, while their holds (88) were second only to the champion LG Twins (92).The plan is to transfer the strength of the bullpen, which was one of the pillars of the team’s playoff run, to the starting lineup.” We have six existing starters, plus Kim Si-hoon, Kim Young-kyu, and Kim Jae-yeol, who joined us through the second round of the draft, for a total of nine starting candidates,” Kang said .As for the foreign pitchers, “they may not be as strong as Pedi, but they all have a sense of stability as starters. “The experience of overcoming the odds to reach the PO last year is an invaluable asset that cannot be quantified.NC finished the 2022 season in the top five of the regular season despite losing free agents Yang-ji and Noh Jin-hyuk, and then defeated the Doosan Bears and SSG Landers to advance to the Korean Series. “The players have clearly gained confidence compared to last season,” Kang said. The doubts they had about themselves have been replaced with confidence,” he said, adding that the 슬롯게이밍 team can play competitively against any team.

“The moment our shoulders go up, we go down to last place. “It might be tempting to bask in the glow of the first unified championship in 29 years, but Kim Hyun-soo (35-LG Twins) shakes his head vigorously. “More than the satisfaction of winning the title last year, I’m more worried,” he said at Incheon International Airport before departing for Arizona, where he and his LG teammates set up spring training on Tuesday. “It’s harder to defend than to go up. We need to be stronger to stay on top.” “I want to talk to the juniors during spring camp about how much stronger we need to be and how much stronger we can be,” he said, adding, “Of course, I also need to be stronger.” The will to be stronger was demonstrated by Kim’s ‘weight loss’ before the camp began. He lost weight during the off-season, so much so that everyone who met him after a long time asked, “How much weight did you lose? “He said, “I’ve always controlled my weight. Last year, due to my back injury, I didn’t train enough during the season, so the weight loss this time around is more noticeable,” he said, adding, “I have a sweet tooth, but recently I’ve been following a vegetarian diet. I’ve been a little more proactive in controlling my weight this off-season.”

“My clothes have gotten bigger,” he said, “and although I blame it on my injuries, it was a lack of exercise that caused the weight gain. This year, I will keep my weight in check during the season .”Last year, Kim batted .293 with a .364 on-base percentage, .383 slugging percentage, six home runs, and 88 RBIs. It was a solid performance, but he wasn’t satisfied. “I have a lot of regrets about my individual performance last year. “I worked hard in the offseason,” he said, “but the team won the championship. There are many times when the results don’t come out as I prepared, but this year, I want to hit more accurately and hit the ball farther to solve the lack of long balls, which was my biggest regret last year. “LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop gave Kim a goal of batting .330 for the 2024 season. “He set a very high standard for me, and I’ll try to reach that goal,” Kim said .Kim also received some good news. The KBO has decided to limit defensive shifts this season .A shift is a tactic that involves leaving one side of the infield empty and concentrating infielders between first and second base, or between third base and shortstop, in order to shut down a hard-hitting lefty or righty. “I felt myself becoming passive when a ball I thought was a hit was caught by a fielder,” Kim said, “and I think the shift restriction will make me feel more comfortable. “Kim Hyun-soo, who sees the “whole team,” also plans to give his juniors some “bitter words” at this camp.”I think I will continue to tell them to train hard,” Kim Hyun-soo predicted, and he also revealed his “primary target,” 카지노사이트 saying, “I will help Bum-seok lose weight,” referring to second-year player Kim Bum-seok, who had gained weight.

Busan Port Authority (BPA) announced on the 30th that it has finalized the reorganization of its rowing team for the 2024 season and has begun preparations for this year’s season in earnest .While reorganizing this year’s squad, BPA extended the contracts of existing athletes Choi Jong-hyung (8 years) and Choi Soo-jin (6 years) and recruited new athletes Kim Ha-young (8 years), Jung Min-ha (5 years), and Lee Soo-min (2 years).The BPA Rowing Team has been practicing at the Jangseong Lake Rowing Stadium in Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do since April 15 to prepare for this year’s season, which will begin with the Asian Cup Rowing Championships in April at Tangeum Lake in Chungju and the Tangeum Lake Regatta. BPA has been running a women’s rowing team since its establishment in 2004 to 온라인카지노 expand and revitalize marine sports.

“Because I was avoiding Japan? Not at all. I was smiling because my uneasy premonition was correct.” That’s how Jürgen Klinsmann responded when asked if he “avoided Japan” by finishing second in his group at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup in Qatar .If South Korea had topped the group, many believed they would have faced Japan in the round of 16 and had a tough battle. “We had no intention of avoiding Japan at all,” Klinsmann said at the official press conference held at the Media Center (MMC) in Doha, Qatar, on the 29th. “Our goal was to top the group and advance to the next round. “We had 85% possession and a lot of corners (nearly 30) against Malaysia in the third game of the group, but we couldn’t finish,” he said, adding, “When we conceded the last goal against Malaysia, I laughed because it was exactly what I predicted.

Klinsmann was criticized at home for smiling after conceding a goal against Malaysia (3-3), and international media were also puzzled .On the other hand, the Saudi game is also a matchup between two managers of the same age, both former strikers who had successful careers in the game .It will be interesting to see how Klinsmann (Germany), who is criticized for giving his players a lot of freedom but no tactics, will bring victory against Roberto Mancini, who is currently the world’s most expensive coach (about $36.25 billion).Let’s watch the video .Produced by Wang Jiwoong and He Jisong Sources: Yonhap TV-Reuters-AFP-YouTube KFATV_ South Korea National 스포츠토토존 Football Team
