Go Hyo-joon will join the Doosan Bears' first team soon. "We will call Go Hyo-joon to the first team from May 1," Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said. "We have nine consecutive games from May 1. It's time for a pitcher."메이저사이트
On the 17th, Doosan signed a one-year contract with Ko Hyo-joon for a total of 100 million won (80 million won per year, 20 million won in incentives). He joined hands with a 42-year-old veteran left-hander during the season because he has a lot of worries about the bullpen.
Ko made his professional debut in 2002. He played in the first team for 20 seasons alone. At one point, he played as a special bullpen pitcher, but he showed sluggish performance in 26 games, 22 innings, 2 wins, 1 loss, 5 holds, and an earned run average (ERA) of 8.18.
He was eventually released by SSG Landers. Nevertheless, Ko did not neglect exercising while working out alone during the offseason.
Doosan, which needed to reinforce its left-hander bullpen, called Ko Hyo-joon to Icheon Bears Park on the 11th and 16th to conduct a tryout test. Here, Ko Hyo-joon was able to get a passing score while playing a fast ball up to 147 kilometers per hour.
Since he signed a contract as a nurturing player, he will be able to register in the first division from May 1. Ko acquired a sense of real action at the Futures League on Sunday. In a game with the Goyang Heroes, he pitched well, striking out two and allowing no hit in one inning.
Manager Lee expressed anticipation for Ko. "I heard that Ko has prepared well since last winter. He pitched nonstop, so there is no problem in joining the team on May 1. As long as he is in good condition, I will come with him," Lee said. "It will be good if an experienced pitcher comes."
Meanwhile, Kwak Bin and Hong Kun-hee, who are out due to injuries, still need more time. Kwak Bin injured the left inner abdominal muscle and Hong Gun-hee injured the medial ligament in his right elbow.
The two players have yet to play this season. Kwak was tied for first in the league with multiple wins last season, while Hong Geon-hee is a key player in the Doosan bullpen.
Manager Lee Seung-yeop said, "Kwakbin joined the Icheon Bears Park and started playing catch from Tuesday. Hong Geon-hee progresses faster. He is playing catch at 30-40 meters. We have to wait and see. If he gets better here, he can pitch at half-pitching. We are constantly receiving reports."
