[스포츠한국 김성태 기자]Due to the consequences of the new Infectious Coronavirus Disease (Corona19), the KBO League begins in May for the first time in 39 years.

Although the season was postponed for more than a month, the schedule was impressive as the Tokyo Olympics were postponed a year later. The KBO league is expected to continue playing 144 games per team, unless there is a confirmed corona19 player on the team.

The opening ceremony will take place on Children’s Day on May 5. It will start off as a spectator, but you will watch viewers step by step as they watch the Corona 19 trend.

Although many things have changed compared to the previous year, the interest of fans in the KBO League continues, and the players are also trying to do their best to achieve the goal of winning.

To reach the top spot in the new 2020 season, each of the 10 professional baseball teams has a certain guarantee check. It is a constant, not a variable in degrees. Seeing the top players in each team who will control the team’s destiny can be another fun way to enjoy professional baseball this season.

Who will be the core of the strong Doosan-Kiwoom-SK 3 system this year?

Champion Doosan seems to have no problem. However, there is a part that takes heart. This is Kim Jae-hwan (32).

He hit 44 home runs in the 2018 season and became an MVP in the regular season, but last year he was hit by a rebound ratio adjustment. The batting average fell to 2.8 percent and 3 cres, and just 15 home runs. Here, the Major League Baseball publishing challenge was performed, but it was not an offer.

I am not in perfect condition before this season. The practice match is about hitting. Director Kim Tae-hyeong is concerned. He said, “The batter’s condition appears to have increased somewhat, but Kim Jae-hwan has to go to fourth place.” The core of Doosan’s other ship is Kim Jae-hwan, anyway.

Kiwoom is a team that advanced to the Korean series last year. It’s scary to ride the stream. Lee Jung-hoo (22) is in the center. The contact capacity to hit the ball is unmatched. What is most surprising is that it is updated every year. Last year, he hit 193 hits (2nd overall in the league), hitting 30.6.6. In the professional’s third year, 535 visits have already been completed.

At Kiwoom, Lee Jung-hu is the core of the batting order. Lee Jung-hoo himself also said, “I’m just thinking of doing better than last year. In order to score as much as possible in this year’s scoring season, I think if he is behind (Kim) Ha’s brother Sung or (Park) Byungho’s senior can play with me. ” I will. “Now, it is Lee Jung-hoo who wants to become Kiwoom’s solver.

SK collapsed after winning the regular season last year. There is considerable preparation for this season. The problem is that Kim Gwang-hyun, the left hand that symbolized the team, went to the St. Louis Major Leagues.

The role of the foreign team in filling the gap is important. New alien Nick Kingham (29). After showing impressive performance in the practice game, he was defeated as the starter for the kt opening game on May 5.

“Kingham is a pitcher who knows how to throw a variety of pitches. He was rated higher than he thought by his own Cheongbaekjeon. I think it would be better if the restriction was a little higher,” he said. Will Kingham fill the gap between Kim Kwang-hyun and Kim?

LG celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. There have been no champions since 1994, but there are many who think this is the year. The strong pitching team remained intact, adding great power to fielders.

Veteran infielder Jung Geun-woo (38) was drafted to fill the weak spot. The heyday is said to have passed, but the old building is a famous building. The blow is expected to calm Jung Joo-hyun’s disappointment. Jung Geun-woo is also very interested in achieving Yujong’s beauty in LG, which may be the last team.

Oh Seung-hwan and Yang Hyun-jong who dream of a great return

NC had a big vacancy in the main character Na Seong-beom (31). Although he was riding the last baseball in the fall, Na Seong-beom broke the cruciate ligament while playing in the KIA game on May 3 last year. He immediately underwent surgery and rehabilitation and managed to return this year. On April 27, he was a designated hitter in a game against KIA.

Director Dong-wook Lee said, “The defense will come in when the base run is perfect. When Sung-beom Na enters the lineup, it will be of great help to other players.”

Kt Kang Baek-ho (21) became a key hitter in the second year, with 340 hits, 147 hits and 13 home runs last year. Director Lee Kang-cheol, taking the attack and defending the way forward, sent Kang Baek-ho, who was uneasy about the garden’s defense before the season.

The team alignment has also been strengthened. Lee was also satisfied with “First baseman is more advantageous to hit than outfield. Since he’s a catcher, he doesn’t avoid the ball and it makes sense.” Kang Baek-ho is the player he has seen the most in kt this year.

KIA Ace Yang Hyeon-jong (32) has accomplished everything in the KBO League. After a difficult search early last year, he won the No. 1 title in the league average. At the end of the year, you will be eligible for FA.

Previously, he predicted going abroad. Under the guidance of foreign manager Matt Williams, his performance in the United States can be judged based on his performance this year. It may be the last season to see Yang Hyeon-jong.

Samsung’s finale Seung-Hwan Oh (38) joined. Last year, he liquidated his major league career and returned to the KBO League. He also had elbow surgery and showed my presence before the evaluation.

However, due to the overseas expedition, he is trying to stop the discipline. You can play in June. Director Heo Sam-young said, “The condition looks great. I also have time to put up.” That is why Seung-Hwan Oh joined Samsung Bullpenjin.

  • Lotte An Chi Hong. Korea sport

Hanwha’s Jung Eun-won (20) attracts attention. He played second base last week and made a solid shot in 471 appearances in 142 games. This year, Lee Yong-gyu returns to compete with a hitter.

Director Yong-deok Han is expected to give Lee Yong-gyu a chance, but Jeong Eun-won can always play an important role. If physical strength and stability are added, Jung Eun-won is expected to become a infielder responsible for Hanwha’s future.

Last year, Lotte has high expectations for second baseman An Chi-hong (30), who was brought up to the free agent. At the confluence of Ahn Chi-hong, Lotte took care of the two rabbits, the stability of the infield, and the strength of the ship.

From the practice game, he showed his presence by showing his blanket. I wonder if Sungmin Kyu, the leader of the KBO league’s first opt-out contract, will work.
