Bae Young-soo's declaration, "Most Lotte pitchers drop out of D-class ... there is no spring camp"
It is the voice that the coach made up his mind with first. For the first time, he said, "Lotte pitchers must face their status accurately."
Coach Bae Young-soo, a former legend with 138 victories in his career and who will lead the Lotte mound next season, is preparing for a hard drive to improve the pitching team's constitution from this finishing camp.
Lotte announced on the 12th that it would recruit coach Bae Young-soo, who left Doosan at the end of this season. In a phone interview with a reporter, coach Bae suggested a specific direction to break the 'vicious cycle' of the pitching team, who showed only possibility every time but ended the season in disappointment.
Coach Bae said, “If you look at Lotte games, in games where pitchers lead the game, even if you throw the ball 150km fast, when a crisis comes, you can’t throw your own ball at all, and the ball is often shaken . can throw The key is to overcome the pressure in tight situations and throw your own ball. He thinks he has to climb over that wall to be able to stand up.”
Coach Bae said, “I think Lotte pitchers need to calmly know where they are and start anew. There is no A-class among domestic pitchers in Lotte. Except for foreign pitchers, I would like to know if there is a pitcher who can definitely entrust one game . If an A-class pitcher comes out in the future, I plan to treat him like that.”
Coach Bae asked all Lotte pitchers to participate in the finishing camp."chamberlain. First-team pitchers have their own routines of 'how to spend this period'. However, I think that routines are only for A-class players.” “I think now that a pitcher who can’t even finish camp can’t even go to spring camp,” said
coach Bae. Even after he became a veteran and joined the Hanwha pitching team under Kim Seong-geun's management, he was second to none in his training. Coach Bae also moved his body anywhere at his own expense after the season while he was active. With the addition of coach Bae, Lotte pitchers are expected to continue intensive training that has never been seen in the team's history
. Coach Bae said, "Starting with basic running, you can guess that there will be a lot of 'best-in-class' training . There will be a lot of training in baseball, from throwing the ball to receiving a fungo at 18.44m. “I think that training by throwing and rolling 20 to 30 doesn’t improve your skills,” he said.
The hopeful part about the Lotte pitchers that coach Bae read in the gap is that Lotte's FIP (defensive ERA) was pretty good this season. While the team's ERA was ninth with 4.47, his FIP was 3.61, which was good enough to be in second place. This is an indicator that confirms that Lotte pitchers did not receive defensive help to the extreme. In addition, coach Bae paid attention to the fact that the number of strikeouts by the pitching team was 1,199, which is the highest overall. It is a readable passage that there are not a few pitchers with the basic pitch to overcome the batter.
Most coaches approach their players cautiously with their team transfers. However, as soon as coach Bae transferred to the new team, he made his own beliefs clear and started taking his first steps. It seems that the judgment stems from the fact that a small change in the process alone cannot make a change in the outcome. Lotte's finishing camp will be held between Sangdong Stadium and Busan Sajik Stadium. Coach Bae's actions are not unusual.
