AG’s ‘0-pitch gold medal’ controversy, APBC is an opportunity for Kwak Bin

 I will show it to the next national team.”


This is what Doosan Bears Kwak Bin confidently said after the KIA Tigers game held at Jamsil Stadium on the 13th.

The KIA match was Kwak Bin's return match after the Hangzhou Asian Games. Kwak Bin was selected as a representative for the Asian Games, but due to back gallbladder symptoms, he won the gold medal without throwing a single ball, becoming embroiled in controversy over 'free riding'.

The KIA match was burdensome because my body hadn't recovered, I heard bad things from people around me, and the team was in a desperate battle for rankings. Kwak Bin calmed the controversy to some extent by pitching well, allowing 1 run in 6 innings. And in an interview after the game, he promised, "I felt very sorry to my teammates on the national team. If I am selected for the next national team, I will show it to them then."

And then the opportunity came. Kwak Bin was included in the final entry of 26 players to participate in the Asian Professional Baseball Championship (APBC) 2023, which will be held in Tokyo, Japan from the 16th of next month. Since he was eligible due to his age and had no injuries, it was natural for Kwak Bin to get on board.

For Kwak Bin, it is an opportunity to restore his honor. If you throw hard at APBC, you can completely erase the 'zero pitch controversy' in the Asian Games. Also, personally, I can wash away the pain of my poor performance in the first game of the wild card match against NC Dinos. Kwak Bin pitched well until the third inning, but collapsed in the fourth inning, allowing bases loaded and back-to-back solo shots to Seo Ho-cheol and Kim Hyeong-jun. As a result, Doosan was defeated 9-14 and had to leave the fall baseball stage with only one game. Since he was a starting pitcher, he could not help but feel responsible.

APBC includes Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Australia. Players are under the age of 24 or have been professional players for three years or less. Coach Ryu Joong-il said he would focus on the growth of his players rather than his performance, but he is a professional and it is natural for a player for the national team to have the mindset of winning unconditionally.

But it is not an easy competition. In particular, we must go beyond Japan. While the Asian Games featured athletes from society, this tournament features young but professional athletes. It has much stronger power. In particular, Shugo Maki (Yokohama), the winning member of the World Baseball Classic, was included. He is a slugger who hit 29 home runs and 103 RBIs this season.

It is not yet known whether Kwak Bin will pitch against Japan, but it is clear that it will be a tournament that will nourish his pride and help him grow into a greater pitcher. This is assuming that you prepare for the game in good health and 100% condition.

“New York is the mecca of the world” A 77-win pitcher returns to his hometown…

    The New York Yankees recruited right-hander Marcus Stroman (33).   MLB.com announced on the 12th (Korean time) that “the Yankees signed a two-year contract worth $37 million (about 48.6 billion won) with Stroman.”  It even includes a vesting option that automatically extends the contract if he plays more than 140 innings in 2025, his second season.  When the contract period is three years, the total amount will be $55 million (72.3 billion won). MLB.com noted, “Stroman debuted (in the Major League) with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2014 and has been a consistently above-average starting pitcher throughout his career.”  However, considering the fact that he suffered injuries such as inflammation of his right hip last year, he said, “I pitched less than 140 innings for two consecutive seasons,” and added, “In 2022, he missed a month due to inflammation in his right shoulder and missed more than two weeks due to COVID-19.” Nevertheless, MLB.com said, “Stroman ...

 Shall we appear on the ‘Dream Stage’? Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), where Lee Kang-in belongs, will invite AC Milan (Italy) to the Parc des Princes in Paris, France at 4 a.m. on the 26th for the third match of the Group F group stage. Korean soccer fans are interested in whether Lee Kang-in will start. The UEFA Champions League (UCL) is called the dream stage for soccer players. Lee Kang-in has already played in a UCL game wearing a PSG uniform.
