Doosan Bears has set an anchor in the year of its promise. Leaving behind the disappointment of failing to play in the first postseason game for two consecutive seasons, Doosan Bears will make a fresh start for its revival.안전놀이터

Doosan also held a New Year's party at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on Tuesday to celebrate the foundation of its baseball team. "Let's deliver more than just wins to our fans," manager Lee Seung-yeop said. "Dusan, where fans were enthusiastic, was once represented by Hur Seul-doo and Miracle," Lee said. "I ask you to revive your persistence that you will not likely lose even if you lose until the end of the game." "If we don't give up, fans will never give up on winning, and I believe we can remind them of Miracle's impressions."

Lee emphasized the atmosphere of the dugout. "I also talked to my senior coach and QC several times. I think we need to make the dugout more loud and lively like a market," Lee said. "The loud dugout creates a strong team atmosphere." "Even if you don't participate in games, please raise your voice and support your teammates and unite your team," Lee said. "I'm confident that the dugout will lead to unlimited momentum on the ground."

Doosan underwent major changes this season. Everything is changing from players and coaches to uniforms. Generational change of the teams and complete reorganization of the coaches for the first and second teams continued. As Doosan signed an official sponsorship contract with Adidas, the team even changed its uniform and brand identity for the first time in 15 years. The team is preparing for a new season with more enthusiasm than ever before. It is second to none when it comes to performances that can be expected. Doosan has been on the postseason stage for the past two consecutive seasons, but the team was caught up in the wild card game. The team has been under strong criticism from fans. "Dusan is a prestigious city that has advanced to the Korean Series for seven consecutive years," CEO Ko Young-seop said at the event. "Fans can't stand at the same level as other teams."

Considering its objective capabilities, it is hard to guarantee whether Doosan will be able to achieve a good performance that meets the expectations of its fans. Internal FA Huh Kyung-min and Kim Kang-ryul both left the team. Heo Kyung-min's departure from the third base is particularly painful. Even Kim Jae-ho, Doosan's stronghold during the dynasty, retired. It is not clear who will take the position. There are many missing positions, but there is no visible reinforcement of the team's strength. The reality is that the remaining players should work harder and grow.

When asked if his team's strength had weakened, Lee shook his head, saying, "If I had judged that his strength had really weakened, I would have asked the club to reinforce its strength." Of course, Heo's vacancy was huge, but the remaining players were motivated, Lee said. "After the news of Heo's contract came out, the eyes of the players changed. I thought it would not be bad," Lee said.

Doosan will depart for Sydney, Australia, on the 24th to start off-season training. There is a lot of work to be done. Traffic arrangement on the infield is the priority. All three seats except first baseman Yang Seok-hwan are still questionable. The main shortstop and second baseman should be decided on the premise of "third baseman Kang Seung-ho." Manager Lee said, "It is urgent to check whether Kang Seung-ho will be able to settle on third base. Keystone is still unknown besides Kang Seung-ho."

Unlike the infielders, who are somewhat unstable, Lee is confident about the power of the mound. "If two foreign pitchers take their seats, I believe Kwak Bin and the other two players are the best in Korea," Lee said. "Choi Seung-yong, the fourth starting pitcher, and Choi Joon-ho, Choi Won-joon and Kim Yoo-sung will not be disappointed. I am confident that the starting pitcher is the best."

"We are preparing to play baseball until the latest among the 10 teams in 2025. We will try our best to make the year 2025 as promised," Lee said at an event hosted by the Bears last month. His goal was not different on the day. He mentioned again "winning the Korean Series within three years" that he aimed to achieve when he took office in 2023. This is the third year of his career.
