The Korean national baseball team players, who convened on the 24th of last month and trained only at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, were excited to be outside for the first time in a long time.
In the dugout, people said, "It's good to come out after being locked up," and the breezy breeze like Korea's early fall welcomed the Korean players.
The players of the national team, who entered Taipei, Taiwan, where the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Premier 12 Group B match will be held on the 8th, conducted their first on-site training for two hours at Taipei Tianmu Stadium on the afternoon of the 9th.
"Now I can feel (the competition) is real," Korean national baseball team coach Ryu Joong-il said, before adding, "I have to be nervous from now on. If we practice tomorrow (on April 10), the day after tomorrow (on April 11) is a day off. And if we train for two hours at the Taipei Dome on April 12, the next day will kick off."
Tianmu Stadium was the place where our national team played during the first Premier 12 group league in 2015.
None of the national team players were left so far, and Tianmu Stadium became a completely new place in 2020 by removing natural grass and laying artificial grass.
The Korean national team will play two group matches against Taiwan (13th) and Japan (15th) at the Taipei Dome, and three matches will be played at the Tianmu Stadium, including Cuba (14th), the Dominican Republic (16th) and Australia (18th).
You have to play more games than Taipei Dome.
"I visited this place and Taipei Dome this summer. The artificial turf at Tianmu Stadium is a little hard and the outfield is soft. Still, the grass is longer than Gocheok Dome, so the batting speed will be less fast," Ryu predicted.
"If we practice today, and practice tomorrow, the players will almost adapt," he added.
Coach Ryu Ji-hyun, who directly hit the pengo to the players, said, "I feel like I'm accelerating my batting. It's stronger than Gocheok Dome, but it's okay. I expected our players to do well if we keep this in mind because they are good.
"Players say it feels similar to the old Gocheok Dome (which changed grass during the Seoul Series). The batting itself feels like it is flying with strength. I think I will have to adapt for the rest of the time," said Kim Do-young, who has to keep the hot corner at third base.
The national team will play a practice game against the Taiwanese professional baseball team Weijuan Dragons at Tianmu Stadium on the 10th. 토토사이트
Manager Ryu said, "Im Chan-kyu will go out as a starter and throw about two innings, and the rest of the pitchers will have to go up to the mound once in a while, so we plan to put all of them in."
