Can Doosan Bears 'Big Rookie' Park Joon-soon definitely get an impression in his first starting opportunity.
Doosan will play the last of three consecutive games against the KIA Tigers at Jamsil Stadium on the 20th. It is an important match that is at stake in achieving the Winning Series with one win and one loss.
Doosan will start high school graduate infielder Park Joon-soon as the 8th-2nd baseman on the same day. Park Joon-son was registered in the first team on the 11th and is gaining experience in the first team. He will finally start after playing one at-bat against the LG Twins on the 13th and one at-bat against KIA on the 18th.
Coach Lee Seung-yeop said before the game, `Park Gye-beom's hitting yesterday (19th) looked a little bad. I thought I should give rookie a chance, so I started. He also drew a good walk against KIA and I'll look forward to it" he said.
Director Lee said he didn't tell Park Joon-soon anything in particular. Director Lee thinks "In my mind 'You must be very nervous" People around me will probably tell you a lot of things. I have to watch from the side. It will be a good experience. And I think it will depend on the game how today's opportunity will work for you. Don't be nervous. I hope you do well like you practiced." In other words, Doosan's second base position is currently unstable due to Lee Yoo-chan's injury, and if it plays boldly, there is a possibility that it will take off as a main player.
Meanwhile, Doosan registered Park Shin-ji and Kim Min-seok ahead of the game and canceled Park Jung-soo and Kim Dong-joon. Kim Min-seok, who swung hard from the exhibition game to the beginning of the opening, returned to the second division due to poor performance. Director Lee "It is said that he has improved a lot. He's a player who has to go out as a starting player, but it's not bad to do the group performance now. I thought about the designated hitter position, but I chose Kim In-tae, who has good nails and has a good feeling because it's been a long time since he came up,' he said.
