Coach Ryu Joong-il, Winner of the First Two Championships
[Asian Games] Coach Ryu Joong-il, Winner of the First Two Championships, Shares a Meaningful Toast with the Future Mainstay
Killing two birds with one stone by winning four consecutive championships with promising Korean baseball players
As the Korean national baseball team defeated Chinese Taipei 2-0 in the finals of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, which ended on the 7th, and achieved its fourth consecutive championship, a new milestone was set in the career of national team coach Ryu Joong-il.
The title of first baseball coach to win the Asian Games twice went to Coach Ryu.
Coach Ryu defeated Chinese Taipei at the 2014 Incheon Games and burst into victory champagne for the first time as a national team coach.
Nine years later, Coach Ryu received a rinse from the players again.
The 1998 Bangkok Asian Games was the first tournament in which Korean baseball formed a dream team comprising both professionals and amateurs.
National team coach Joo Seong-ro, who was leading Inha University at the time, led the Dream Team to the first Asian Games summit. 바카라사이트
Afterwards, coach Kim In-sik (then coach of Doosan Bears) at the 2002 Busan Games, coach Beom-hyun Cho (at the time coach of KIA Tigers) at the 2010 Guangzhou Games, and former coach Sun Dong-yeol at the 2018 Jakarta/Palembang Games each led the national team to victory in the Asian Games.
If Coach Ryu celebrated the 2014 Incheon Games with his greatest strength at the peak of his career, the second win was for Korea, which had fallen into an endless abyss in international competitions with players under the age of 25 and with less than four years of professional experience.
It is even more special in that it gave hope for a revival in baseball.
The baseball team that participated in the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang tournament was embroiled in controversy over the loss of fairness by selecting some players with a focus on military service benefits rather than ability, and did not receive proper congratulations even after winning.
National team coach Seon Dong-yeol, who was revered in the baseball world as a 'national treasure pitcher', suffered the humiliation of appearing as a witness at the National Assembly audit amid a 'witch hunt' by some.
KBO President Chung Un-chan at the time, who was responsible for actively protecting the national baseball team and coach Seon, completely denied the full-time coach system, which ultimately led to former coach Seon stepping down from the baton.
The KBO Secretariat and 10 professional teams pledged to regain the trust of fans and to select mainly players under the age of 24 and three years of professional experience at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, but to add three wild cards regardless of age.
As the Asian Games were postponed for a year due to the worsening situation of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the qualifications for participating players were raised by one year, but the policy of selecting Korean baseball prospects was maintained.
Coach Ryu Joong-il, who changed into the national baseball team uniform after stepping down as the head coach of the LG Twins, took the baton in an uneasy situation where the KBO secretariat and 10 professional teams placed 'limits' on player selection.
In addition, they also took on the burden of producing good results at a time when Korean baseball's international competitiveness had lost its wings, including fourth place at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and elimination in the first round of the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC).
Coach Ryu put a lot of effort into selecting players right before boarding the plane to Hangzhou to kill two birds with one stone - to win a fourth consecutive gold medal with promising players who will lead Korean baseball.
After careful verification of players with the KBO Strengthening Committee, 24 members who will have high hopes for the Asian Games were selected.
They put a lot of effort into selecting players until the very end, with center hitter Lee Jeong-hoo (Kiwoom Heroes) and wild card pitcher Koo Chang-mo (NC Dinos) unable to join Ryu Joong-il due to injury.
Kim Seong-yoon (Samsung Lions) was selected in place of Lee Jeong-hoo, and Kim Young-gyu (NC) was selected in place of Koo Chang-mo.
There is still controversy over the replacement of left-handed pitcher Lee Ui-ri (KIA Tigers) due to a finger blister injury, but the controversy is expected to subside as right-handed hitter Yoon Dong-hee (Lotte Giants), who was selected as a replacement, contributed greatly to the gold medal with better-than-expected performance.
It is expected.
Coach Ryu overcame all the obstacles such as pitcher Kwak Bin (Doosan Bears)'s unexpected back symptoms and the shock loss to Taiwan in the group stage, took the opportunity to exact revenge on Taiwan by defeating Japan and China in the super round, and then put up a powerful mound in the finals.
I paid off my debt brilliantly with the help of.
Coach Ryu, who usually prefers power pitchers who throw fast and strong balls, selected four fastball pitchers who throw 150 km/h in the finals, including Dong-ju Moon (Hanwha Eagles), Ji-min Choi (KIA Tigers), Young-hyun Park (KT Wiz), and Woo-seok Ko (LG Twins).
They had the last laugh after holding Taiwan's batting lineup to 5 sporadic hits and 0 runs.
