"The batters are a little slow right now. Futures is now determining that it would be nice if reinforcements came."

Acting Doosan Bears coach Cho Sung-hwan said he plans to call up veteran FA duo Kim Jae-hwan and Yang Seok-hwan soon.

Kim Jae-hwan left on the 6th after being diagnosed with a microfracture of his right toe, and Yang Seok-hwan returned to the first team last month after overcoming sluggishness and rib injuries, but he was notified of his move to the second team after hitting 0.111 (3 hits in 27 at-bats) in eight games.




Acting head coach Cho said, `I think Kim Jae-hwan and Yang Seok-hwan will probably play in the practice game tomorrow (27th). The two players are also keeping up with updates, and their conditions and physical conditions are fine. I'm going to decide whether to call up or not after looking at my condition."

Kim Jae-hwan's four-year 11.5 billion won FA contract ends after this year, and Yang Seok-hwan signed an FA contract with Doosan for up to 7.8 billion won for 4+2 years ahead of the 2024 season. They are the players who should lead Doosan's batting lineup in terms of ransom and skills, but they failed to do so this year.

Kim Jae-hwan shook off his toe injury and is currently raising his hitting sense in the Futures League, but he had no hits and two strikeouts in six at-bats in the LG Twins second division and Futures League games on the 22nd and 23rd. The performance seems to have not fully risen yet.




Yang Seok-hwan's situation is not much different. He hit 0.138 (4 hits in 29 at-bats) in the Futures League in August, hitting one homer, one RBI and eight strikeouts.

When asked whether he would decide whether to call up or not regardless of the two players' Futures League performances, acting coach Cho said "Now the batters are a little slow, so I think it would be good if the Futures team came to the team." I'm going to check my condition carefully. First of all, what I'm looking at is not just a visible Anta, but rather a normal hitting ratio, batting speed, and various practice contents. I will prepare to make good decisions with the Futures staff."

Doosan is currently playing with young players such as Ahn Jae-seok, Park Joon-soon, Oh Myung-jin and Lee Yoo-chan. It is true that they are growing into the present and future of Doosan Infield, but they also need veterans to solve the situation when they are blocked.




Acting coach Cho said "I've been dragging our young players with just the spirit, but they look a little tired. The Futures team is looking at who is well-prepared now. After this week, there will be a natural (enlarged) entry from next week. "I think this week is a very important week for us, so if there are players who are a little bit tired, such as entries, I'm going to see if there are any players who will come up from Futures and help us."
