It's life-threatening, but you haven't calculated?

Kiwoom Heroes made an unprecedented and unconventional decision on the 18th. Pitcher Ahn Woo-jin, who is unable to play or train due to shoulder surgery, was suddenly registered in the first-team entry.

The ostensible reason is to accompany the team and inspire it, mentoring junior pitchers, and meeting with fans. However, there seems to be a clear reason for this registration.

In fact, even if he is not registered in the entry, it is not that Ahn Woo-jin cannot accompany the team. Whether it's a coach or a player, there are some cases where they are together without registration. Of course, if the other team raises an objection, it has to go out in violation of the regulations. However, just because Ahn Woo-jin is sitting, Kiwoom's power does not suddenly soar. In this case, the other party does not take issue. Moreover, it is not the postseason, and Kiwoom is a team that has already confirmed the bottom. It's a bit of a shame to argue that I had to register because of this issue. If another team took issue, they should have registered the entry at that time.

Because of the number of registration days. Ahn Woo-jin is a special resource seeking to advance to the U.S. Major League. It is important to try to advance even a year earlier. If it is registered this time, it will meet the requirement of 145 days to fill a season in addition to the 139 days registration in 2021. A year later due to a shoulder injury, the posting application, which was expected to be possible after the 2029 season, will be advanced to after the 2028 season.

Since it is an unprecedented expedient, it would be difficult to admit that the player requested registration and the club accepted it for this reason. However, anyone can see that it was registered for the first team for this reason. However, Ahn Woo-jin met with reporters ahead of the Doosan Bears match on the 18th, saying, `I haven't calculated the number of registration days" gave an absurd answer. It's a matter of your own life, so you don't know how many days you're registered? It was an answer that I couldn't answer without doing it. There is no player who doesn't know how many days his FA registration is. Check thoroughly. It's no shame. It's something that you have to do. Let's say the player really didn't know. Then, the agent who did not give this to him is a dereliction of duty.

Rather, it is for the club to ' future success of the player. It would have been neat for the player to admit that he was grateful to the club for making a difficult decision during his own training. This is because some view this as a strategic judgment of the club. The club can earn a lot of posting compensation when the player is young. Of course, the aftermath is something you have to deal with on your own.

Acting head coach Seol Jong-jin's comments were also excessive. This is because in the process of explaining the reason for Ahn Woo-jin's registration during an interview with reporters, the coach questioned whether he should even say that for one player. Acting coach Seol did not even fill the entry after the enlarged entry anyway. He gave young players as many opportunities as he could. There are no more players to give. They responded by saying, 'What's the problem when the current players can't participate?'

The coach himself 'Our team doesn't have this many players. There are no players who want to raise and check it out. He admitted that. It was a remark that encouraged players in the second division who wanted to go up to the first team somehow, and those who wanted to play at least one at-bat or even one inning after being registered in the first division.

Even if they can't play, all other teams call players the first team when they enter the expanded entry, preparing for unexpected situations, but it is strong in terms of building experience and motivating players. Even if you can't go to the game, it can be a valuable opportunity to be with the first-team squad. As Kiwoom explained, it is also an opportunity to receive mentoring directly from Ahn Woo-jin.
