The reinforcements are finally coming to the Doosan Bears, who are drifting from the bottom. Veteran left-hander Ko Hyo-joon (42) will be called up for the first team on the 1st. Before ace Kwak Bin and must-win group Hong Gun-hee returned, the urgent fire was extinguished.

There is a sense of being late, but this is how much we moved in a hurry.

Doosan was already fatally shot just before the opening. Korea's first starter Kwak Bin's side and bullpen core Hong Gun-hee felt elbow pain. Left-hander Pilseungjo Lee Byung-hun also failed to recover his condition after suffering from enteritis. I thought it would be possible to hold out to some extent. The damage was bigger than I thought.




In the meantime, he made small changes, such as changing the position of the third base running coach. It is the first time that Ko Hyo-joon has been recruited directly. That is April 17th.

Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said, `We needed a left hand in our bullpen. Ko Hyo-joon was without his team now. The ball power is about the same as last year. He is a good bowler for his age. We are grateful to the club from the standpoint of the field. Ko Hyo-joon is said to have shown that various data, including speed of rotation as well as arrest, are immediately available in the first group.

However, according to the rules, Ko Hyo-joon was not able to register immediately in the first team. If a player who was excluded from the previous year's suspension list does not find a new team by January 31, he can only sign as a nurturing player after that. Doosan signed a contract with Ko Hyo-joon for a total of 100 million won. Yook Sung will be able to play in the first team from May 1.

When Ko Hyo-joon comes, Doosan's bullpen is expected to breathe. Veteran veteran Ko Hyo-joon has a variety of uses. In addition to shooting left-handed hitters, he can trust one inning. Amid the growing dependence on the must-win group Choi Ji-gang and Lee Young-ha, Ko Hyo-joon will expand his operation if he shares his luggage. Just in time, Ko Hyo-joon even had a good result in three scoreless innings and six strikeouts without a walk in three Futures League games.

Of course, Doosan's real game is after Kwak Bin and Hong Gun-hee's return. Hong Gun-hee and Kwak Bin are expected to return in two to three weeks. Until then, Ko Hyo-joon's role is important. Doosan ranked first in the league in bullpen ERA last year. It has fallen to sixth place this year. The team is also eighth with 12 wins and 18 losses, having played 30 games. You have to hang on for the next 15 to 20 games well so you can expect a great chase when Kwak Bin comes.
