[Miyazaki(Japan) = Reporter Han Dong-hoon of Sports Chosun] "We have to get up quickly. It's the master bedroom!"

One hit flew to the hot corner every 10 seconds. I had to throw my body as hard as I could barely reach it. There was not enough time to get up and catch my breath. The ground, which was fine, got wet. Sweat poured out as if it were really raining.

It is a scene that takes place every day at the Ivy Stadium Auxiliary Stadium in Miyazaki, Japan, where the Doosan Bears set up their final camp. Doosan will have its last training session from Oct. 29 to Oct. 21. The new coach Kim Won-hyung emphasized the absolute amount of training. To improve his defense, he conducted 'Defence Day' Every day, one infielder conducts intensive defensive training in the afternoon. You have to get 300 pungos on the spot to finish it.




On the 11th, it was Ahn Jae-seok and Park Sung-jae's turn. Coach Son Ji-hwan hit Ahn Jae-seok at third base, and coach Seo Ye-il hit Park Sung-jae at first base. I started by stacking two yellow boxes full of baseballs.

All kinds of balls flew away from the left and right. I brushed my glove, walked underneath my belly and splattered with irregular boundaries. Ahn Jae-seok, who was discharged from the military this year, threw his tongue out, saying, `It's completely individual battles.'

My physical strength was drastically depleted. Although the reaction speed did not slow down, the time to return to its original position after diving became longer and longer.




"Why aren't they drinking water?"

Head coach Hong Won-ki appeared shakingly. He bought time by arranging the deep ground around Ahn Jae-seok. I gulped down a 1.5-liter bottle of water.

"If your glove touches you, you have to grab it!"




"If you catch this, you win!"

"Just now, second and third base. I blocked 2 points!"

Coach Son Ji-hwan and coach Seo Ye-il constantly played fungo, but gave them a fighting spirit. The last 10 raised the speed even further to shake off the stamina to the bottom.

When the yellow box was empty, Ahn Jae-seok and Park Sung-jae lay down. The two looked as if they had rolled in muddy water and showered with sweat and dirt.

Park Sung-jae's wrist has lost strength since he received 10 of them. But I really like that feeling. It was hard, but I'm proud to receive all of it like this, and I'm grateful to the coach,' he said, breathing heavily.

Ahn Jae-seok "When I was exhausted, the ball came into my glove on its own. I'm so proud that I've finished it. I'm so proud that I've finished it."

Coach Seo Ye-il "When you lose strength, you naturally get used to glove handling without losing strength. Watching a difficult ball is also helpful for sensory training. He also explained, "I can feel the importance of one hit mentally."
