A set of all the experienced cauchy winners? Is there only 9th place team? Why are you gathering new members

The club is taking the lead in moving the coaching staff rapidly. The Doosan Bears are absolutely determined for next season.

After finishing ninth this season, Doosan is preparing for the new season faster than any other team. The top priority is the appointment of a new head coach. After former coach Lee Seung-yeop stepped down in the first half of the year, Doosan, which completed the pennant race under acting coach Cho Sung-hwan, appointed former SSG Landers coach Kim Won-hyung as the new head coach after an in-depth manager interview and discussion.

From the process of appointing the director, I felt the will to 'change'. During the appointment of the head coach, strong candidates such as Kim Won-hyung and acting head coach Cho Sung-hwan reportedly went through an intensive interview process. Initially, there was an opinion that the probability of an acting supervisor being appointed as a formal supervisor was the highest, but the final choice was different. This is why he chose manager Kim Won-hyung, a former pitcher expert, with the first goal of stabilizing the mound.

As interesting as the appointment of head coach Kim Won-hyung is the process of appointing a follow-up coach. In the case of Doosan this year, the club is more active than ever and is quickly gathering good coaches. Of course, the criteria for 'good coach' are subjective, and although the sum with the players is separately important. For now, we are gathering coaches who can help restore Doosan's team color, which can fit well with the team.

The noodles are gorgeous. First of all, former head coach Hong Won-ki, who was the head coach of the Kiwoom Heroes until the first half of this year, will assist head coach Kim Won-hyung as the head coach. Head coach Hong received love calls from several teams, but chose Doosan, which is starting anew. Above all, he judged that he was the right person to balance with the pitcher-turned-manager as he was a veteran fielder leader who had spent a long time working with the players as a coach before he was a coach.

Son Si-heon, a quality control (QC) coach who spent his prime as a player at Doosan, was recruited, and Jung Jae-hoon, a pitching coach from another 'Doosan Man', made a comeback. It seems to be making the club's identity even stronger by adding QC coaches who are the right people to embody the baseball style pursued by Doosan and pitching coaches who are well aware of Doosan pitchers.




On top of that, Samsung Lions batting coach Lee Jin-young and LG Twins second-tier defensive coach Son Ji-hwan, who shared a tie with manager Kim Won-hyung at SSG Landers, will soon join. Coach Lee Jin-young and Son Ji-hwan, who met with head coach Kim Won-hyung again, worked together during SSG's victory in 2022 'Wire to Wire'.

The reason why the Doosan club is working harder than ever to form a new staff is so as not to follow the past regrets. It seems that the first condition was to move quickly to secure the best leader in order not to repeat the team's poor performance, not just the responsibility of one coach, but to harmonize with the entire coaching staff.
