Manager Lee Soo-yong met with reporters after the match against Doosan Bears in Jamsil was canceled due to rain on the 25th. I looked back on the scene where coach Cho Dong-hwa collided with runner Park Sung-han the previous day. Coach Lee Sung-yong gave strength, saying that running base coach was the hardest.
On the 24th, SSG had a chance to score with two outs and a runner on first base in the top of the fifth inning, trailing 0-5 against Doosan. Cho Hyung-woo hit a double on the left-field line. Park Sung-han collided with coach Cho Dong-hwa on his way home around third base.
According to baseball rules, it is possible to determine out when a runner on base comes into contact with a coach. This is because it can be said that the coach helped the base running.
So Park Sung-han was out somewhat futilely. It was more regrettable because it was an opportunity directly related to scoring.
Of course, the situation was quite tricky. Coach Cho Dong-hwa gave the order to stop. Park Sung-han slowed down. The ground was slippery because it was raining. Park Sung-han failed to fully brake and eventually contacted coach Cho Dong-hwa.
Manager Lee Soo-yong said, `I think running coach is the most difficult job because it most directly affects the game. You have to make judgments on a situation-by-case basis. These are the parts that coach Cho Dong-hwa is a little depressed these days, he said.

Coach Lee Soo-yong said, `Coaches are people, too. Players just need to do well on their own. Even if you can't, you have another chance. I can make up for it. Coaches must maintain good relationships with players outside the game and know how to play villains. Sometimes you have to know how to take care of him like an older brother. Therefore, if the coaches lose the game, the damage will be great, he said, sympathizing with coach Cho Dong-hwa's concerns.
However, coach Lee saw that he also had to adapt and overcome this. Manager Lee Sung-yong has experienced important positions in the baseball team from batting coach to general manager.
Director Lee Sung-yong thinks it is a `process.' I had a brief talk with coach Cho Dong-hwa. He said it was okay. I told him not to think too deeply because it's something he has to go through anyway. It's my second year now. I think it will get better"Injected courage.
