As Doosan Bears coach Lee Seung-yeop stepped down on his own, coach Cho Sung-hwan suddenly took the manager's test.온라인바카라
Doosan announced on Tuesday that its coach Lee Seung-yeop voluntarily resigned. Lee visited the team's office and said he would resign taking responsibility for his poor performance. As of now, Doosan has played 58 games this season, ranking ninth with 23 wins, 32 losses and three draws.
"Coach Lee Seung-yeop took responsibility for his poor performance this season and made the decision to renew the team's atmosphere. The club accepted the decision after deliberation," a Doosan official said.
Doosan has chosen Coach Cho Sung-hwan as its replacement for the vacant post after his separation from the former coach was confirmed. When a coach steps down during the season, it is common for a head coach to act as an acting coach, but Koji Goto is Japanese. A coach should closely communicate with not only the team but also the club to lead the team. As the team had to unite and lead the team in a crisis, it seemed to have been a burden to let Coach Goto, who had to go through an interpretation, act as an acting coach.
Coach Cho began his leadership career as a defensive coach for Doosan in 2018. After the 2020 season, he moved to Hanwha Eagles and returned to Doosan after the 2022 season, continuing his leadership career so far.
Doosan recruited Cho when former coach Lee took office ahead of the 2023 season. As Lee had played as a one-club man for the Samsung Lions and took the helm without any experience as a leader, he needed a coach who was well aware of Doosan's situation. The right person was coach Cho.
The club has been agonizing over Cho as a candidate for the head coach before 2024 and this season. It is known that the club's internal evaluation was good in terms of players' harmony.
Cho has frequently been mentioned as a coach candidate in the last three years. Although he did not pass the final threshold, he has been proven to be a ready leader with various clubs showing interest.
Cho is put to the test faster than expected as an acting coach. Acting coach Cho will take the helm from the game against the Kia Tigers at Jamsil Stadium on Sunday. The first step will be to control the mood of the team that could be shaken by Lee's voluntary resignation and transform it into a team full of energy that the team wants.
Doosan said, "It is uncertain whether the team will continue to play through the season under acting coach Cho. Nothing has been decided yet." The team can recruit a new coach after finishing the season under acting coach Cho, or promote an acting coach to a new one depending on his performance. Currently, the number of cases is open to all cases.
There are many troublesome factors. For starters, foreign pitcher Colerbin and foreign hitter Cave are showing poor performance, which determines team strength. Colerbin ended up with five wins and five losses, 67 ⅓ innings and an ERA of 4.28 in 12 games, failing to play his part in the first half at all, while Cave has a batting average of 0.286 (59 hits in 206 at-bats), four homers, 25 RBIs and an OPS of 0.731, in 50 games.
The sluggishness of the main batters could not be ignored. Captain Yang Eui-ji is at the center with a batting average of 0.310, eight home runs, 35 RBIs and an OPS of 0.893, but players who have to support them in the central lineup, such as Kim Jae-hwan (0.243), Yang Seok-hwan (0.260), and Kang Seung-ho (0.217), did not do their part.
The positive factor is the return of Korean ace Kwak Bin. Kwak will return to the match against KIA on Sunday, while Hong Geon-hee, the core of the must-win group, is also preparing to return after recovering from an elbow injury.
Doosan is up to 6.5 games apart from the KT Wiz, which is currently ranked fifth, and also three games apart from the NC Dinos, which is ranked eighth. The team has to recover from the situation in which it has 86 more games to play. The team will likely carefully watch what kind of leadership Cho will show beyond simply taking over the responsibility of the former coach.
