"I think I've become a doll attached to Dongjoo Moon."
The game against the Czech Republic is over, and now the Korean national baseball team is set to play the 2025 NAVER K-BASEBALL SERIES away to Japan.
National team coach Ryu Ji-hyun looks troubled as questions continue over whether Won Tae-in (Samsung) and Moon Dong-ju (Hanwha) will play against Japan. Both threw tremendous balls in the postseason following the regular season. I'm exhausted. It's a level of discharge. I threw it too hard It's a situation where you can get a shoulder injury.
In fact, it will be difficult to take the mound in two consecutive games in Japan. However, they joined the national team. Coach Ryu said, `Even if two people don't go to the game, there are a lot of things that help the team.' As director Ryu said, Won Tae-in is not just playing, but is having a busy time.
First of all, Won Tae-in is third in the pitching group. He is the head of the pitcher's team. No pitcher has experience in international competitions as Won Tae-in. No matter how much it is a warm-up match, it is a match against Japan, but we need a leader who can help young juniors. Won Tae-in is playing the role. Won Tae-in laughed, saying, `I used to crouch at the back when I got on the national team's pitching team bus, but now I get on the front.'

Won Tae-in said of the Tokyo Dome expedition in Japan "Tokyo Dome is bound to be pressured when it is on the mound for the first time. 50,000 spectators overwhelmingly support Japan. It's never easy to put up with it and throw it "I heard young players haven't been to Tokyo Dome. I plan to let Japan know in advance about the conditions of the mound at the Tokyo Dome and the atmosphere of the stadium. In fact, Tokyo Dome feels like the ball is going further. You have to pay extra attention to the actual pitch. The warm-up match is important, but our goal is the World Baseball Classic (WBC), so this experience is also very important."

He also stands out for his "one-two punch chemistry" with Moon Dong-ju. The two always stick together. We also stretch together. Won Tae-in "The bus is next to him and keeps following him. It's annoying." Then "But it's pretty." Isn't it that there's a junior who likes me that much. I'm proud that junior pitchers have been interviewing me and making my story good. But I guess it looked good that I worked hard at the ballpark. So, when my juniors ask me questions, I'm answering them sincerely. Jung Woo-ju (Hanwha) couldn't approach because he was embarrassed, but I was going to talk first, so he wrote down the question on a piece of paper. Sung Young-tak (KIA) and Bae Chan-seung (Samsung) also asked about the management of the game a lot.
The story of Moon Dong-ju that followed. Won Tae-in "I started to get close to him at the Hangzhou Asian Games, but now he is almost like an attachment doll. I don't carry the attached doll, but I think I've become the attached doll of Moon Dong-ju," he said with a chuckle.
