I haven’t even decided on the 5th starter yet, but the foreign pitcher안전놀이터 who I thought was the 2nd starter received an unexpected bone bruise and was found to be stable for 4 weeks. How will head coach Lee Seung-yeop, the national hitter, overcome his first ordeal after taking office?
Doosan’s new foreign pitcher, Dylan Pyle (27), was hit in the head by a batted ball while pitching live at the spring camp in Sydney, Australia at the end of last month. As a result, on the 7th, he was unable to return home with the main team and remained in Australia to rest. He complained of dizziness and was unable to board the plane to Korea.
Fortunately, Dylan recovered and stepped on Korean soil through Incheon International Airport on the 12th. Afterwards, he did not accompany him to the exhibition match Sajik expedition and went to Bundang Seoul National University Hospital on the 13th for a detailed examination. According to Doosan officials, Dylan currently has no special symptoms other than a minor headache, but he plans to take a reexamination in the future after resting without a training schedule for the time being.
The newly launched Doosan Lee Seung-yeop had a successful spring camp in Australia. Unlike the clubs that set up camp in Arizona, USA, where the weather was inclement, they carried out most of the initial plans under the scorching sun of Sydney, and confirmed their performance to some extent in the Australian All-Star evaluation match and their own Cheongbaek match. Director Lee also said, “The training went very well. He only used the indoor driving range twice as it hardly rained. The players followed me very well without complaint.”
However, at the end of the camp, coach Lee’s concerns grew as a foreign pitcher, who had a major impact on farming for a season, was injured. Doosan was originally scheduled to make the 4th starter with Raul Alcantara-Dylan one-two punch, Kwak Bin and Choi Won-jun, and Choi Seung-yong, Kim Dong-ju, Park Shin-ji, etc. He was put in a position where he had to find two starting pitchers.
