Even in a bright atmosphere, he was quite sincere.
The Korean women’s baseball team, led by coach Yang Sang-moon, trained early in the morning on the 8th (Korean time) ahead of the first game of the ‘2024 Women’s Baseball World Cup (WBSC)’ preliminary round.
Prior to the full-scale training, coach Yang summoned the players and strengthened their determination to participate in the 메이저사이트 tournament. Coach Yang said, “Let’s wear the Taegeuk mark and show a proud appearance,” and the players also made up their minds.
After warming up with stretching, the national team was divided into fielders and pitchers and began training to adapt to the local ground. The field team practiced defense with field coach Jeong Geun-woo and battery coach Heo Il-sang, receiving a fungo. The players checked strategies such as base run and bunt, and finished the schedule with batting training.
After checking the condition of the mound, the pitching team improved their condition through pitching practice with pitching coach Lee Dong-hyun and Yu Won-sang at the bullpen pitching rink. The two pitching coaches praised the players, saying, “Let’s throw the ball as it is during the game” as the players scattered the ball around the corner.
The national team, which arrived the evening before and had a short training session, showed good condition in the first official training session just 10 hours later. The outfield team handled fly and fast balls without missing anything, and the infield team also drew applause from the coaches with light footwork and unsparing defense.
The batting wasn’t bad either. The players created fast batting balls that pierced the infield toward the end of training, and batted balls that fell between the outfield and the infield. The pitching team also threw various pitches freely, matching battery breathing with the catchers.
Catcher and captain Choi Min-hee said, “Today, ahead of tomorrow morning’s game, each player will have individual training or take a break to adjust their condition. I will play with no regrets.”
Manager Yang Sang-moon said, “I won two cold games against Hong Kong at the ‘2023 Women’s Baseball Asian Cup (BFA)’ held in Hong Kong at the end of May, but I will not be vigilant and will do my best.” We will do it and check it,” he said.
Meanwhile, the first match of the 2024 Women’s Baseball World Cup qualifiers between Korea and Hong Kong will be held on the 9th at 12:30 am (Korean time) at the ‘Baseball Central’ stadium located in Thunder Bay, Canada.
