It lost the first game of fate, but it is not yet a stage to be discouraged. This is because Kim Do-young, the next-generation superstar who shone alone in the Premier 12 match against Taiwan, was confident of the rebound of Ryu Joong-il in the rest of the game.안전놀이터

The Korean national baseball team, led by head coach Ryu Joong-il, lost 3-6 to Taiwan in the first round of the 2024 WBSC Premier 12 Group B qualifying round at Taipei Dome in Taipei, Taiwan on the 13th.

Team Korea, which won the Premier 12 title for the first time in 2015, was in Group B with Taiwan (13th), Cuba (14th), Japan (15th), the Dominican Republic (16th) and Australia (18th) for the third time. The match against Taiwan was considered a watershed moment for advancing to the Super Round, which is heading to the second place in the group, but the prospects for going to Tokyo have darkened amid the collapse of starting pitcher Ko Young-pyo's six-room shock.

As there was a player who struggled alone in the shock loss, Kim Do-young was the youngest to achieve 30 (homer)-30 (stealing) in the KBO League this year.

Kim started the game as the third batter and third baseman of the national team, and worked hard with one hit, one RBI, one run, one walk, and one stolen base from three times at bat. He warmed up by hitting a fly ball to the right field in the top of the first inning, and hit an RBI double against Taiwanese starter Lin Yu-min in the top of the fourth inning when his team was losing 0-6. Later, while Yoon Dong-hee grounded out to the third base, Park Dong-won's timely hit hit to center field to score.

After one out in the top of the sixth inning when the score was 2-6, a double-base hit became a foul after video reading, but he stole the second base by stealing a base when Yoon Dong-hee was at bat after drawing a walk after a whopping 10 pitches. However, he failed to score a follow-up hit.

Kim Do-young, whom I met after the game, said, "The coach told me I had to keep chasing, and he said I had to keep drawing points because I could get a tie in the final ranking. So I tried to get to the scoring position as much as possible so that I could come home once I went out. Even if there was no runner in front of me, I kept paying attention to getting on base. I thought about doing what I could do well," looking back on each at-bat that was desperate.

The overwhelming cheering of Taiwanese fans at Taipei Dome was not a problem for Kim. "On the contrary, I thought the opponent would not be fun. It would take some cheering for the Taiwanese players, but it was too one-sided. Rather, we tried to do something more by raising something more."

In the case of the Korean cheering squad, a small number of fans who came directly from Taiwan cheered for the national team players with their voice when they were informed that they could not operate the team. "I felt like the most passionate fans among the KBO League fans came. I was touched because the sound of fighting was so loud. If you continue to do so, I will repay you with a victory," Kim Do-young said.

Unfortunately, Kim lost the first game, but he had hope for the remaining five games through the match against Taiwan. "I felt that the players had prepared well. I felt positive. In the case of the batters, they seemed to be in good condition just because they were heavy," Kim said. "I don't think it was a bad start. I can really win the remaining games."

Ryu will move to Taipei's Tianmu Baseball Stadium in Taiwan on Tuesday for his second game with Cuba. With Cuban starter Livan Moinello ranking first in ERA, attention is focusing on whether the team's batting lineup will be able to gain strength by banking on its failure in the first game. We just hope that Kim's conviction that he can win will come true.
