There are two seats and three competitors. Who will be the catchers who will join the Premier 12 national team of the 2024 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) in November? Catchers of the same age as Kim Hyung-joon (25) of the NC Dinos and Han Jun-su (25) of the Kia Tigers will compete for the other spot.
One position that will add experience to the young team is confirmed. Park Dong-won (34) of the LG Twins, who will give strength to the home turf in both offense and defense, will definitely join the national team.
Although he has no experience playing for the national team before, he is a veteran player who has played in 1,286 games in the first division since 2010. During this year's regular season, he kept the home ground of LG for 130 games, recording a batting average of 0.272 (118 hits in 434 times at bat), 20 homers and 80 RBIs, and a slugging percentage of 0.461 and 25 percent (allowed to steal 87 times out of 116 times at bat) to display solid performance in both offense and defense. He is the player who will lead the team, which is mostly comprised of young players.
The two promising catchers will compete fiercely for the remaining one. Ryu Joong-il, the coach of the national team, is also agonizing over the differences between the two players.
Kim has great advantages in blocking stolen bases and hitting long balls. Kim's base stealing rate in 116 games this season stands at 37.8 percent, while he allowed 51 stolen bases. This is the highest rate among catchers who have played in more than 100 games. Kim also has a slugger who can hit 17 home runs this season. Kim, who played as the main catcher at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, also gained experience by wearing the main catcher's mask at the Asian Baseball Championship.
On the other hand, Han Jun-su shines in the batting. Right-handed left-handed catcher Han Jun-su has excellent contact skills, recording a batting average of 0.307 (88 hits in 287 times at bat) in 115 games this season. Although he received fewer opportunities to play than his main catcher Kim Tae-gun, he showed off his slugging ability with a 0.456 slugging percentage. Han Jun-su also showed off his clutch ability by hitting a two-run timely hit in the national team's warm-up match against Cuba at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 2nd.
Coincidentally, each other's weaknesses are advantages to each other. Kim Hyung-joon is disappointed in contact (batting average of 0.195 during the regular season) and Seon Seon-an (walking/strikeout 45/144), while Han Jun-su is slightly behind Kim in home runs (seven) and stolen bases (19 percent). He has strong strengths and weaknesses. 토토사이트
Ryu Joong-il said, "Four pitchers, one fielder, and one catcher should be excluded from the training. We will check the conditions of the players until a practice game against the Sangmu Baseball Organization on Sunday." With only one of the two players expected to join the roster, attention is focusing on who will be the backup player for the home ground.
