I can't believe the remaining players are rookie pitchers...
Where did all the good bullpen pitchers of the KIA Tigers disappear.
KBO confirmed and announced the K-BASEALL SERIES national team list confirmed by the Korea Power Reinforcement Committee on the 12th.A total of 35 players will be wearing the Taegeuk mark. K-BASEBALL SERIES will play two games against the Czech national team at Gocheok Sky Dome from November 8th to 9th and two games against the Japanese national team at Tokyo Dome, Japan from November 15th to 16th.
Eighteen out of 35 pitchers were selected, and only one Sung Young-tak was selected for the national team in KIA. Not only pitchers but also fielders are wiped out by KIA. In total, Sung Young-tak is the only representative.

In the case of the fielder, it is regrettable that Kim Do-young is the main player in the national team as long as he does not get hurt. He is currently undergoing rehabilitation due to three hamstring injuries during the season, and there is no reason to force himself into this entry of the warm-up concept. Choi Won-joon, who was a regular member of the national team, was also not selected due to his poor performance this season due to the transfer to the NC Dinos. If you look at KIA baseball this season, it is a humiliation for young players, as 42-year-old Choi Hyung-woo was evaluated as the best baseball player.
The problem is pitchers. KIA stood out in the young must-win groups that led to the Korean Series victory last year. Starting with closer Jung Hae-young, left-hander duo Kwak Do-gyu and Choi Ji-min were active and selected to the final entry of Premier 12.

But all of these players are gone. Jung Hae-young made 27 saves this season, but suffered a terrible slump in the second half. Kwak Do-gyu underwent elbow surgery, and Choi Ji-min also became a completely different pitcher due to poor control.
Without Sung Young-tak, KIA would have suffered a great humiliation of not being able to put even one in the 35-man entry. Sung Young-tak was selected in the 10th round of last year's draft and became a must-win player this season. He recorded a 1.55 ERA with 3 wins, 2 losses and 7 holds in 45 games. I wrote the 10th round of mythology genealogy.
