Third round, "Runningly Reinforcing"...Will Doosan's 'Internal Development' work?

[Anchor]
The characteristic of this professional baseball stove league is the competitive reinforcement of the 'three strongest' teams such as KIA, Samsung, and LG, which are trying to win the championship.

On the other hand, Doosan, the fourth-ranked team in the regular league, threw a winning move through internal development, and we are interested in what results will be produced.

Stove League, an opportunity for teams in the middle and lower ranks who have been eliminated from fall baseball to strengthen their power at once.

Except for Hanwha, the three strongest teams, KIA, Samsung, and LG, are leading the market this year.

KIA brought Cho Sang-woo and LG brought Jang Hyun-sik and Kim Kang-ryul to strengthen the bullpen, and Samsung recruited Choi Won-tae to increase the starting mound.

All three teams are determined to reduce the variables of team power as much as possible to win.

On the other hand, Doosan, ranked fourth in the regular league, is looking forward to closing its wallet early and fostering its internal growth.

FA Huh Kyung-min and Kim Kang-ryul, who were essential players in the pitching, also left for the competition team because they lacked the will to catch them.

He challenged himself on a more difficult path to win the championship by making a choice in which the variables of power grew.

[Lee Seung-yeop / Doosan manager: We feel a lot as we finish the season quickly for two years, and we are preparing to play baseball until the latest of the 10 teams in 2025.]

It's not that the challenge is unfounded.

In total, he has replaced all foreign pitchers who have won 13 games and suffered the worst atrocities, and the potential of starters Choi Seung-yong and Choi Joon-ho to support Kwak Bin is also ripe.

Rookie of the Year Kim Taek-yeon will start with a built-in finish from the opening game with higher expectations.

[Kim Taek-yeon / Doosan pitcher: I want to make more saves than this year, and if it's the end, I want to make 30 saves, and I want to be the save king...]

In the two infield seats where Kim Jae-ho and Heo Kyung-min are missing at once, existing Park Joon-young and Lee Yoo-chan, Yeo Dong-gun, who are in their second year, and rookie Park Joon-soon, are competing indefinitely, and in the end, many predict that Doosan's performance in the two infield seats will determine next year's performance.
