Doosan Bears Kwak Bin
Doosan Bears’ native ace Kwak Bin (25) takes a moment to catch his breath.
Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop announced the cancellation of Kwak Bin’s first-team entry ahead of the 2024 professional baseball home game against the NC Dinos held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 18th, saying, “We have never skipped the starting rotation and have run without rest.” “I could see that he was tired, so I gave him time to recharge,” he said.
Kwak Bin appeared in 15 games this season and recorded 5 wins, 6 losses, and an average ERA of 4.10.
He continued his excellent performance with an ERA of 3.20 until May, but performed somewhat poorly with an ERA of 8.22 in the three games since June.
In particular, he performed poorly in his last two starts, allowing 6 runs each.
Coach Lee Seung-yeop judged that the reason for the poor performance was due to low stamina and gave the player a 10-day break.
Director Lee said, “The cancellation of Kwak Bin’s entry was something we thought about yesterday (when it was his rest day) and decided today,” and added, “When I told him I would give Kwak Bin a break, he said it was okay.”
He added, “If we don’t save up our stamina in the summer, it could be difficult in the second half. We decided that if we don’t do it now, it could be difficult for not only the player but also the team.“
Regarding Kwak Bin’s vacancy, he introduced, “Choi Jun-ho will take over.”
Meanwhile, Su-bin Jeong, who injured his right ankle in the game against the KIA Tigers on the 9th and played only as a pinch hitter, returned to the starting lineup as the second hitter and center fielder.
Coach Lee Seung-yeop said, “Soo-bin Jeong’s physical condition has improved a lot,” and “He is a player with a good ability to control the flow of the game, and he will be a great help to the team.” 스포츠토토
