There is an old joke among billiard club members. Two people who scored 50 points came down from 10 years of closed tube training, and it was still 50 points. Broadly interpreted, it can be applied to all sports and even all fields. In other words, a systematic acquisition process is essential to efficiently improve skills.
The Doosan Bears of professional baseball have entered the spring camp unexpectedly. Former coach Lee Seung-yeop voluntarily resigned due to poor performance. Doosan will have a 'Acting Manager Cho Sung-hwan' system from the 3rd. Acting Cho Sung-hwan boldly lowered Yang Seok-hwan, Kang Seung-ho, and Cho Soo-haeng, who were first team members, to the second team. A large number of up-and-coming players such as Park Joon-soon, Kim Joon-sang, Kim Dong-joon, Kim Min-hyuk, and Lee Sun-woo were hired. The match against KIA at Jamsil on the 4th placed all rookies at second base and third base shortstop.
The result was a four-game losing streak. Strictly speaking, it is the second consecutive defeat in the lineup. There is a saying that 'You may lose' in the street. The opinion that the Korean Series, which was originally aimed at, should not be concerned about winning or losing, but rather about experiencing promising players seems to prevail. It is a reasonable view. This is because if prospects are guaranteed an opportunity without burden in the first team, they have vague expectations that their potential will explode next year.

However, acting president Cho Sung-hwan said, `It is not acceptable as a professional that young players can lose just because they play. When the chance to win comes, of course, we will do what we can."
Fostering is not that simple. No first-team players are made just by filling the number of at-bats. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop describes this as a 'success experience'. When the main player is certain, he enters the remaining position and develops by solving easy tasks first. The given task must be simple and clear to ensure a diagnosis even if it fails. Giving one starting position and showing off your skills is no different from repeatedly solving the mock test even though the progress has not been made.
Therefore, in the first team, it is evaluated as a success even if only one main player is raised in a season. So prospects keep coming out of teams with stable squads. The time when Doosan was called 'Hwapun' was when it was a strong team that was going to the Korean Series like eating. Even the same seeds are much more difficult to sprout in barren soil.
Doosan is not in a position to enjoy such luxury this season. There are really no players. We cannot look at Yang Eui-ji's Kim Jae-hwan and Jung Soo-bin until long. Four and five rookies are put in the place where one rookie and two rookies should be used.
Conversely, it means that the opportunity to go back to two people per person came to four people and five people. If the team was doing well, players who might have had a long way to go from the first-team call-up, let alone starting, were given a really precious chance.
The opportunity that you get easily disappears. Can the 'shock lineup be maintained even if they lose five consecutive games, six consecutive losses, seven consecutive losses, and eight consecutive losses? It shouldn't be because of equity. Sometimes you have to win anyway. It's not just 'hustle' to headfirst slide at first base and throw yourself at a ball you can't catch. It should show the grit and persistence that leads the team to victory, and the competitive grit that the opponent feels burdened.

Win or lose is also directly related to pitching performance and morale. It is questionable what pitchers who suffer from losing games will be rewarded even if they make 100 concessions and use them to their heart's content to gain experience. It's not a good thing to see fewer chances to win and save.
It is not known how long Doosan will maintain its current stance. What is clear is that for this attempt not to become a 'waste of time, someone has to pop out. You have to prove that you really are a 'first team player' by playing with more desperate and desperate feelings.
