Park Chi-wang, head coach of the Armed Forces Sports Unit, said that if he wins the Futures League championship match against KT Wiz at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 1st, all the players will be given a leave of absence.
The Sangmu players showed a strong will to take a vacation regardless of their rank. However, the head coach is wary of the situation where the players are highly motivated.
Coach Park said, `Because of the vacation, I was going to take a vacation when I played against the police team in the past, so I got injured and played games that I didn't play. The tension is also higher. "It's not a reward vacation because you're good at it, but you collect and spend your own vacation in accordance with the army regulations. It's not a reward."
Sangmu ranked first in the Southern League with 74 wins, 27 losses, 1 draw, and an overwhelming 0.733 win rate. It has been ranked No. 1 for 14 consecutive years since 2012. In name and reality, it is the strongest team in the Futures League.
Coach Park said "Everyone says they're the best, but nothing seems to work. Of course, others think that good players are here, so they are doing well, but they are not. I think I can win for 14 years in a row because I've grown my intuitive record and things like that from my previous team," he added.
I really wanted Sangmu to win the first championship title.
Sangmu won the semifinal against the LG Twins 5-2 in Mungyeong on the 29th of last month. Starter Kim Dong-ju pitched six innings of two runs, and No. 4 hitter Lee Jae-won hit a two-run home run to seal the victory in the bottom of the third inning with a 3-2 lead.
Director Park said "I think we're going in a very good direction at KBO. I have such expectations that the players might feel this kind of feeling in the small Korean series.
