Oh Ji-hwan’s inevitable backup, what’s the gap to dig into the infield?

Doosan Bears third baseman Heo Gyeong-min was injured and a variable occurred in the infield of the WBC baseball team.

Previously, Heo Gyeong-min was included in the 30-man baseball team list announced on the 4th, but he told the national team that he would return the Taegeuk mark due to injury.

It is a huge loss for the national team. This is because the third baseman backup resource has disappeared.

Coach Lee Kang-cheol and Technical Committee Chairman Cho Beom-hyun announced the national team entry on the 4th and selected a total of 8 people as infielder resources.

By position, Park Byeong-ho (KT), Choi Ji-man (Pittsburgh), Kang Baek-ho (KT) are at first base and designated hitter, Tommy Hyeon-soo Edman (St. Louis) and Kim Hye-seong (Kiwoom) at second base, and Choi Jeong (SSG) at third base. , and Ha-seong Kim (San Diego) and Oh Ji-hwan (LG) at shortstop.

The problem is still 3rd base. Choi Jeong-eun, who won the Golden Glove at third base last season, is the best resource in the league capable of both offense and defense. However, considering the WBC schedule where many matches must be played, securing backup resources is essential. In addition, if there is a variable such as sluggishness that happens to Choi Jeong, who will play as the starting player, he must also prepare for it.

Fortunately, the answer is out there. It is an active use of Oh Ji-hwan.

Oh Ji-hwan is being evaluated as being reborn as a complete shortstop last season. He succeeded in winning his first Golden Glove in his career, making great progress in offense as well as his solid shortstop defense.

However, it is not easy to secure a starting position in the national team. It is because of the existence of Kim Ha-seong, who was called the ‘shortstop peace king’ during the KBO League.

It’s a pity to have Oh Ji-hwan, who is in the best condition, sit in the dugout, but he can be used as much as he wants. This is the versatility of Kim Ha-seong, who can defend third base.

Director Lee Kang-cheol also said, “Ha-seong Kim is a resource capable of defending third baseman. Here, second baseman Edmund can also see third base.

In terms of defense, Kim Ha- seong is more stable.” In the match, you have to play with your best power. Afterwards, you can play 토토 as a backup member in the match against the Czech Republic and China.

That is, the national team consists of third baseman Choi Jeong and shortstop Kim Ha-seong, but depending on the importance of the game, Kim Ha-seong is placed at third base and Oh Ji-hwan is placed at shortstop. You can create B. Also, since Edmon and Kim Hye-sung can play all infield positions, it is calculated that if they are actively used, they can be freed from physical burden.
