One of the two acting coaches completed the acting system this season. Now, attention is drawn to another 'acting director'.

The Doosan Bears announced Lee Seung-yeop's resignation on June 2 this year. Although he has led the postseason for the past two years, his performance has fallen since the beginning of the season due to the sluggishness of foreign players this season. After Lee stepped down, the rest of the game will be played under the acting head coach Cho Sung-hwan.

Lee's shock therapy was relatively successful. The team was able to relieve some of the burden on the performance, and the use of young players instead of senior players expanded, opening the venue for a change of atmosphere. Acting Cho quickly led Doosan's reorganization by working with a young player in this situation.




The merits of acting Cho were clear. When he played for the Lotte Giants, he boasted excellent leadership enough to be nicknamed 'Captain'. Another strength was that he was able to grasp the direction of 'Bears Baseball' by serving as a defensive coach, quality control (QC) coach, and head coach at Doosan.

'Cho Seong-hwan' boasted a winning rate of over .500 in both July and August. Yang Eui-ji, who served as the center of the team, slowed down for a while as he fell out due to an injury in mid-September, but he improved his performance again after becoming a full body. In particular, on the 25th, he won 7-0 against Hanwha, which was competing for second place, giving a glimpse of next season's possibility. Considering that Hanwha's starting pitcher was Weiss, who had 16 wins this season, Doosan clearly showed a different power.

After that, he lost two consecutive games, but he succeeded in his home game 'The beauty of the end'. Acting president Cho also put a lot of energy into his last home game. Starting pitcher Kwak Bin regained his appearance of 'Ace' with two runs in seven innings. The bullpen, which led to Park Chi-guk (⅔ scoreless innings) and Kim Taek-yeon (first ⅓ innings), also played its part to keep the victory.




The batting line continued to score amid 'new harmony' Yang Eui-ji, who has been recovering from the injury, came out as a pinch hitter and hit a timely hit, and Kim Jae-hwan also played on the third base. Ahn Jae-seok, Park Ji-hoon, and Kim Min-seok also made hits, helping them win. Also, foreign player Jake Cave had three hits.

After the game, acting Cho also applauded. I smiled broadly at the fact that I kept my pride in my last home game. Acting president Cho said, `I really wanted to win the last home game of this season, even in front of a packed audience"The players were able to concentrate until the end and win the game in a united manner." Acting Cho continued "Starting pitcher Kwak Bin pitched too great for two consecutive games. He overwhelmed the opponent's lineup with his aggressive appearance. Park Chi-guk Kim Taek-yeon, who followed, also threw a perfect pitchAmong the fielders, Cave scored the first run in the first inning and made a sweeping triple in the eighth inning. Ahn Jae-seok and Yang Eui-ji also showed clutch ability in chances.

Doosan will play its last game of the season against the LG Twins on the 30th. It is the last game of the acting coach Cho Sung-hwan.

Doosan is known to be constantly working on its search to recruit a coach next season. The head coach, who has won or advanced to the postseason, including the promotion of acting Cho, is gaining popularity.

Ahead of the last game, Acting President Cho thanked the fans for their enthusiastic support from the first inning. I will do my best to fight in the last game as well."
