[Miyazaki (Japan) = Sports Chosun Reporter Han Dong-hoon] Kim Won-hyung, Doosan Bears' new manager, ordered closer camp pitchers to increase the number of pitches. For young players, the closing camp is the best time to throw many balls.

Doosan, led by head coach Kim Won-hyung, has set up camp at the Ivy Stadium in Miyazaki, Japan, since Oct. 29. Doosan will return home on the 21st. Head coach Kim Won-hyung pointed out that "finishing camp is the time to fill the deficiencies" and that we should grow while feeling the limit and overcoming it.

Manager Kim Won-hyung, a former legendary pitcher, usually stays in the bullpen in the morning. The beast has no worries. There are many people to watch including head coach Hong Won-ki, quality control coach Son Si-heon and defense coach Son Ji-hwan.




Coach Kim Won-hyung said, `The players who come here have overall deficiencies, to be honest,' adding, `They use their strengths when the season begins, but we need to improve their deficiencies here"I made my point.

Manager Kim Won-hyung increased the amount of training not only for fielders but also for pitchers. In particular, he encouraged pitchers to go on the mound more often and throw more balls.

Manager Kim Won-hyung said, `If you don't control your ball, you have to throw 80 pitches, 90 pitches, 100 pitches each. You have to keep practicing putting in strikes. It's time to get something like that. Physically, you have to do as much as you've never done before, he stressed.




At the same time, he said it was not an excessive training compared to the past.

Coach Kim Won-hyung said, `In our time, we threw more than 100 pitches. And when the timing of intensive training came, he threw 200 as well. This gave me a sense of accomplishment that I did the biggest homework in the camp."

In fact, the atmosphere has changed a lot. In the past, there were at least 100 pitches, but these days, it is accepted as a maximum of 100.

But that's not to say you should really throw 200 each. Manager Kim Won-hyung said, `They say it's hard, but if you ask them to do it, the risk of injury increases. Leave that limit to the player. You need to throw as much as you can. You have to throw 100 and up to 120. There is no time to throw unless it is at this time of year."

Most of the players participating in the closing camp are young prospects. There are not many innings or pitches recorded in practice this season. It is also still three months away from next year's spring camp. It's the perfect time to test your limits.

Yang Jae-hoon, who debuted this season, agreed. Yang Jae-hoon said, `I think it's better to throw a lot if you're not a player with a risk of injury," he nodded.
