Doosan Bears' foreign hitter Jake Cave (33) started his return in earnest.

Cave started as the first hitter and designated hitter in the Hanwha Eagles and Futures game held at Bears Park in Icheon on the 8th and scored two hits, one strikeout and one point in three at-bats.

Cave was excluded from the first-team entry on the 31st of last month due to his body aches.




Doosan signed a total of $1 million with Cave ahead of this season. Cave, who made his major league debut with the Minnesota Twins in 2018, hit .236 with 45 homers and 176 RBIs in 523 games in seven seasons with an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS).

Last year, he played 123 games as an active big leaguer and hit seven home runs.

When Doosan recruited Cave, it expected him to perform well, evaluating him as a player with both accuracy and power and excellent defense.




However, he slowed down to a batting average of 240 in nine exhibition games, and only a batting average of 2.14 in eight games since the opening.

At a time when the hitting sense was rarely rising, he eventually began reorganizing in the Futures League due to the body aches.

While playing his first game on the 8th, he had a hit from his first at-bat. Cave, who faced Hanwha starter Kim Ki-joong, hit the second pitch and hit left field.After that, Kim Dong-joon scored with a home run.




He struck out in the second at-bat in the second inning, but succeeded in getting on base with an infield hit in the third at-bat in the fourth inning. Cave was replaced by pinch hitter Son Yul-ki in the bottom of the sixth inning and finished the game on the day.

Ahead of the match against Hanwha in Jamsil on the 8th, Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said, `Cave will go out as the designated hitter today and play the outfield defense tomorrow. And I'll join the day after tomorrow." "I didn't have anything wrong with my body for ten days, but it was a severe body ache. I was going to call him in 10 days, and as scheduled, I had the last test yesterday, and there was no problem at all"He talked about his plan to return.

The KBO League game between Lotte and Doosan at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 4th. Lee Yoo-chan hit a two-run triple in the seventh inning with one out and runners on first and second bases. Busan = Song Jeong-heon Reporter's songs@sportschosun.com/2025.04.04/
Doosan's Cave accelerated his return, but faced a bad news that infielder Lee Yoo-chan was injured. Lee Yoo-chan collided with catcher Yoo Kang-nam while coming home in the fourth inning against Lotte in Busan on the 6th. On the 7th, he was diagnosed with internal ligament damage and was excluded from the entry. Lee Yoo-chan played a vital role in both offense and defense, hitting a batting average of .300 in 12 games this season. In particular, he has increased his utilization by playing not only as an infielder but also as an outfielder.

Director Lee said, `Lee Yoo-chan's departure is a huge loss. I've been making good use of it this season. He played really hard for the team. He also went to the outfield and showed a really good performance as a right-handed hitter who we lacked, but I think there will be a gap of more than a month. He expressed regret, saying, "I said I'll have a re-examination in three weeks, but I think I'll have to watch it for more than six weeks."
