Park Hae-min, who led the LG Twins to the combined championship as the captain of the national baseball team to play warm-up matches against the Czech Republic and Japan, was appointed.
The national team conducted preparatory training ahead of the match between the Czech Republic and Japan at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 4th.
The national team came to Gocheok Dome after two days of training at Goyang National Training Center. It's finally the whole thing. This is because LG and Hanwha Eagles players who played the Korean Series took a break and joined all of them on the same day. Among the 34 entries, there were 7 LG players and 6 Hanwha players, so it was empty in Goyang, but the atmosphere changed 180 degrees at Gocheok Dome. Director Ryu Ji-hyun was also pleased, saying, `Now the atmosphere is coming up.'
Now that it's complete, there's something to decide. It's who will be the captain. The bottom line was Park Hae-min.
Park Hae-min became LG's captain ahead of this season and led the team to a unified championship. He expressed tremendous pride in his claim to victory. Will that energy be delivered to the national team.

Coach Ryu continued, `It should not end with this warm-up match, but it should be connected to the off-season training in January and February. At that time, senior players, who are not included now, will also come in. When I put all of those parts together, I thought about who was the right person, and I decided to be Park Hae-min."
When asked if he had any talks with Park Hae-min separately, head coach Ryu talked over the phone because he thought he should know what role he should play if he still claims. When Park Hae-min talked about his captaincy, he responded, `If you let me do it, I'll do a great job.' It was good to see the team deliver messages to juniors in a good way" he said.
Asked if Park will be an "automatic pass" to the World Baseball Classic finals with the appointment of the captain, Ryu was surprised, saying, `The final list has many variables before the decision is made,' but `There should be a representative player to serve as a center point.'" bolstered with words.
