Is there anyone else who can be more comfortable with Doosan Bears coach Lee Seung-yeop? Coach Park Seok-min, who was close to Lee during his playing days, will now wear Doosan`s uniform to assist Lee. As Lee Seung-yeop, who needs to nurture young fielders as a starting member of the first team soon, he seems to have high expectations for Park Seok-min as a younger leader.토토사이트
Coach Park Seok-min, who decided to retire after the end of the 2023 season, will start his first KBO league leadership career at Doosan after training as a leader of the Yomiuri Giants of Japan in the 2024 season (exclusive report by EXPOTS News on October 29, 2024). Coach Park Seok-min, who has already shown extraordinary affinity since his active days, has been leading the team's atmosphere brightly by communicating with players since the first day he joined Doosan's final training.
Coach Lee Seung-yeop also had no choice but to smile brightly at the joining of coach Park Seok-min, who was his best friend when he was active.
"I feel like we have to be careful because we met each other again as coaches and coaches after being an elder brother and younger brother when we were active. I think we have gotten a lot more serious compared to the past. As a coach now, I will not be as relaxed as then (laughs)," Lee said. "I didn't say anything about what to do because it's been less than a week since I joined the team. I know Park Seok-min well, but I don't know what he's thinking, so I just watch him from a distance."
Coach Park Seok-min reportedly used his unique affinity to approach the players in a friendly manner and immediately adapted to the team's atmosphere.
"It goes without saying that coach Park Seok-min is getting along well with the players. Rather than being heavily involved, he seems to be giving advice on a one-point level right now. Coach Park Seok-min also probably has not figured out all the styles of the players, but is wary of each other," Lee said. "At the end of the training, we plan to talk a lot about what direction we should go."
Lee plans to confirm the first-team coaches for the 2025 season when the final training sessions are over. "We plan to announce all positions of the first-team coaches at the end of the final training sessions. Coach Park Seok-min has been training for the Yomiuri Giants for a year. If he has experience, he has none, but given his active career, he will have to play an important role," Lee said.
"Honestly, when it comes to batting practice, he is not lagging at all compared to the Yomiuri Giants players. I think there are certainly many promising fielders, but I will help them prepare well. Of course, unlike the 2nd tier, the 1st tier team is a battlefield, so players play baseball," coach Park Seok-min said. "I'm trying to inherit only the strengths of many coaches I've seen so far. The most important thing is to talk with players. I may lack know-how compared to veteran coaches, but I think I have strength in communicating well."
Doosan has not been able to continue its reputation as a baseball player in recent years. The generational change is difficult as the result of the fielders' part has rarely been produced. Coach Park Seok-min expressed his desire to see the once-persistent Hustle-Doo baseball again.
Coach Park Seok-min said, "Dusan was always a difficult team when I was active. Regardless of being good at baseball, persistence was extremely tricky. However, lately I have been able to see that image of me in the past. Personally, I want to order a baseball that doesn't kill me easily. When I play well, I think I can play well in any team. However, I think I need players who can somehow score a point when I'm in a bad situation."
The effect of joining coach Park Seok-min seems to have a positive effect on the mood of the team's final training sessions. In his first year as an infielder, Yeo made his debut in the first division as an infielder at the last minute of this season, and displayed impressive performance throughout the Miyazaki Education League.
Regarding coach Park Seok-min's advice, Yeo Dong-gun said, "I have been hitting hard this season and focusing only on contact. As soon as coach Park Seok-min saw me, he told me to use my lower body as much as possible to hit a powerful ball. Of course, I have to always pay attention to contact, but I feel like he encourages me to feel more conscious of hitting hard."
Lee Seung-yeop raised his voice, saying, "Young infielders should fill the void left by Huh Kyung-min." Joining Coach Park Seok-min is one of the weapons to achieve this goal. Attention is focusing on how the chemistry between coach Lee and coach Park Seok-min will affect Doosan's bat in the 2025 season.
