"We have an official press conference tomorrow, so we'll announce it then."
Who is the starting pitcher for the Korean baseball team that entered the Tokyo Dome.
South Korea will hold an exhibition match against Japan on the 15th and 16th of the upcoming <2025 NAVER K-BASEBALL SERIES>. The national team, which came to Tokyo on the 12th for the match against Japan, had its first training session at Tokyo Dome on the 13th. Some players have played at Tokyo Dome, but there are many players who are new to it, so they have to adapt during the two-day practice period on the 13th and 14th.
Ryu Ji-hyun, the coach of the national team, said, `Usually, when I come to an international competition, I train at the ballpark for only one day. Then I get in a hurry to get used to it. "This time, I will train for two days, then play for two more games and play at Tokyo Dome for four days. Then, I will get used to some extent, so there will be no big difficulties at the WBC in March next year."
Manager Ryu said "Pitchers should know about the height of the mound or the soil, and in the case of infielders, they will check the batting speed and bound level while receiving a pungo." The outfielder needs to find his senses about the fly ball. In the past, the ceiling of the Tokyo Dome was white, so I couldn't see the ball well, but now I can see the ball to some extent because it's stained.'
What I'm curious about is the starting pitcher who will play against Japan.
Ryu has never talked about a pitcher against Japan yet. The starting pitchers included in the national team are Won Tae-in, Moon Dong-ju, Kwak Bin, Son Joo-young, Oh Won-seok, Kim Gun-woo, and Lee Min-seok.

However, it is not easy for Won Tae-in and Moon Dong-ju because they are tired from playing the Force One season. Among the remaining starting pitchers, Son Joo-young has never taken the mound, raising the possibility of starting against Japan. Another is likely to come from Kwak Bin or Oh Won-seok and Kim Gun-woo, who threw against the Czech Republic. Kwak Bin showed good condition by spraying a fastball over 150km in the match against the Czech Republic, while Oh Won-seok and Kim Gun-woo may play in Japan, which has many left-handed batters as left-handed pitchers.
Director Ryu said, `I will watch it until today and reveal it at the official press conference tomorrow"Isn't there a problem even if you tie your shoelaces?" I'll take a comprehensive look at the players' conditions and tell them tomorrow"I said.
Since it is an exhibition match against Japan, it can be used as a reference when deciding on WBC members next year. If you follow Japanese pitchers' balls well or catch Japanese batters well, you can get plus points.
Coach Ryu said, `We will make a preliminary entry based on this year's performance, and if a player shows a performance that surprises us against Japan, we will consider that as well."
