In the final season of head coach Lee Seung-yeop's contract, Doosan Bears' early plans for the season were twisted.먹튀검증

The KBO on Monday afternoon unveiled 280 entries from 10 teams that will play in the opening game. With eight rookie players included, a peculiarity was found in the Doosan Bears' opening entry. Korean ace Kwak Bin (26) and core bullpen Hong Geon-hee (33) were not included in the opening entry.

Doosan announced that the two players failed to join the opening entry due to injuries. Kwak Bin completed the last inspection ahead of the regular season with one hit, three walks, and six strikeouts in five innings against Goyang in the Futures League on the 19th. However, he complained of pain in his left side after taking the mound and was found to be damaged in his left inner oblique muscle after the examination. 

Hong's condition is even more serious. Hong suffered pain in his right elbow during pitching training on Tuesday and was diagnosed with ligament damage in his right elbow. As the injury directly affects the pitching, his absence could be prolonged. "Both players will undergo reexamination in early April," Doosan said. 

This is the third year of coach Lee Seung-yeop. He also checked young players' growth and sharpened his sword vigorously to achieve higher performance. Kwak Bin and Hong Geon-hee should be at the center of attention, but they were not able to join the team early in the opening period.

Doosan, in particular, has missed the season due to injuries sustained by foreign players over the past few years. As a result, the team has properly prepared for this season by transfusing foreign players. It has acquired 28 wins in a total of 134 games (92 starts) in the big league, and scatters fastballs of 150 kilometers or more. Jack Rogue, who was signed on behalf of Thomas Hatch due to medical testing issues, is also a pitcher who throws a sweeper and will remain as the second starter. The two foreign pitchers have confirmed that they are on a soft landing on the Korean stage during the exhibition game. 

In addition, outfielder Kim Min-seok, who joined Lotte in a 3-2 trade last year, was selected as a leadoff with a strong performance, and he planned to use Kim Jae-hwan, a "locking big gun," as a strong second batter. 

Coach Lee Seung-yeop is entering his third season this year. It is also the last season of his contract. He advanced to the postseason for the second consecutive year, but lost to NC in the postseason and the wild card game in 2023 by ranking fifth. He advanced to the postseason by ranking fourth last year, but ended the season in a humiliating manner by being upset by the fifth-ranked team for the first time in the history of the wild card game.

Doosan's owner Park Jung-won visited Miyazaki Spring Camp in Japan this year and said, "I'm not playing baseball to be fourth or fifth. I hope you will do your best with passion and repay your fans with Bears-like baseball," urging coach Lee Seung-yeop and his team to do their best.

To sum up his commitment to the final season of his contract, Lee Seung-yeop is also a "white soldier." "I don't have any personal commitment this year," he said. "I will just join forces with the players to help Doosan Bears regain its former reputation. I naturally think that I need to achieve higher performance every year, and I will try to win even once more."

"My renewal has nothing to do with me. I don't think about renewing my contract at all. I just hope that our Doosan Bears will become a team that receives a lot of applause and support this year," he said.

However, as soon as the opening game opened, key players faced negative injury factors, making them squeaky from the beginning of the final season of coach Lee Seung-yeop's contract.
