"I'll decide carefully after looking at the condition tomorrow (30th)."
Doosan Bears ace Kwak Bin showed off his best condition and relieved manager Lee Seung-yeop's worries. Kwak Bin took the mound in a practice game against the independent league national team at Icheon Bears Park on the 29th and recorded one hit, seven strikeouts, one walk, and one run in three innings.
Kwak Bin checked all the pitches he could throw, including sliders, curves, and changeups, on his fastball. He threw 49 balls, and even after 45 pitches, he maintained a maximum speed of 151 km, drawing attention.
An official from the Doosan Futures team said "There was no abnormality in his physical condition after pitching. Both restraint and tracking data recorded excellent figures"I gave a positive assessment.
Kwak Bin won 15 games last year and tied for the most wins with Won Tae-in of the Samsung Lions. Starting with 12 wins in 2023, he has rapidly grown into an ace representing Doosan by being responsible for double-digit wins for two consecutive years. The national team also raised expectations by taking on the role of a right-handed orthodox ace, but he has been away for more than two months after being diagnosed with damage to his inner abdominal muscles just before the opening of this season.

It must have been very good news for coach Lee Seung-yeop. Doosan is currently in ninth place with 22 wins, 29 losses and three draws as of 54 games. It was not easy to fill Kwak's vacancy at a time when foreigners' one-two punch Colerbin and Jack Rogue did not show as much stability as expected. If Kwak Bin joins soon, Doosan can once again gain the driving force to withstand the mid-range fight.
Director Lee smiled and said, "(Today (29th) his physical condition and ball were good)," but added, "I think we will have to see his condition tomorrow. I thought it would work last time, but after a week off. I think I need to say it a little carefully," he said, without confirming the timing of his return.
Meanwhile, Hong Gun-hee, a must-winner who left the field due to an injury to his right elbow, also took the mound in a practice game against the independent league team. He pitched 32 pitches, one hit, one strikeout, and no run in one ⅔ inning. The maximum speed of the fastball came out to 145km, and the slider and curve were mixed.
An official from the Doosan Futures team said "The fastball speed increased, and the overall movement and rotation speed were good." He was fine after pitching"It was well received.
