The manager made the difficult decision and gave the difficult notification. The KIA Tigers' five-star competition ended for now. Lee Bum-ho, Kia's manager, had not finalized his decision until the end of the exhibition game. The remaining four spots are already full. Four pitchers – James Nail, Adam Oler, Yang Hyun-jong, and Yoon Young-chul – have been assigned, but the starting agents who will take over the remaining spot have formed a competitive landscape with Lee yet to return.온라인카지노

Hwang Dong-ha and Kim Do-hyun were the competitive duo left until the end. Hwang Dong-ha is a pitcher who fulfilled his role as an alternative starter when the main starters were out due to a string of injuries last year, and Kim Do-hyun is also a promising player who pitched stably when given a chance. They had competed until the end for these two.

Then coach Lee Bum-ho made the final decision on Wednesday. The fifth starter is Kim Do-hyun. Hwang allowed three runs (one earned) in four innings at an exhibition game against the Samsung Lions on Sunday. He performed well even in cold weather. Kim Do-hyun also proved his presence by displaying strong pitching in two exhibition games.

"We decided to use Do-hyun as No. 5 on Sunday. Dong-ha is going to use it as a long relief. He can be used in the game that we need to win in the sixth inning and can play many different roles," Lee said to reporters on Wednesday. He also notified Hwang Dong-ha directly. "I told him I was sorry to call him over earlier. Since they are young players and have to do many things for the team, I thought it would hurt him if he fails to join the team. I tried to delay the decision as much as possible and watch it one more time before making a decision. Now is the time to let the players decide. Still, Dong-ha accepted it bravely and told him to throw it well in the middle, and he said, "I will do my best. I appreciate that."

Last year, Hwang Dong-ha also played a significant role in KIA's victory. "He is a friend who stays in the weight room and exercises a lot, and thinks a lot about baseball. He is very smart," coach Lee Bum-ho said, adding, "Now he throws the ball in the middle, but he is a player who can play a good role in any position, whether he is selected again or must-win."
