(Suwon = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Kyung-yoon = Kwak Bin, the starting right-handed pitcher for Doosan Bears, who couldn’t participate in any matches at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games due to back phlegm symptoms, has been selected to play in the professional baseball game against the KIA Tigers at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 13th.
Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop mentioned before the match against KT Wiz in the 2023 KBO League at Suwon KT Wiz Park on October 10th, “Kwak Bin played a 30m catch ball today, and no abnormalities were found in his physical condition,” and further added, “We will include him in the game on the 13th.”
Coach Lee Seung-yeop stated, “I had several conversations with national team coach Ryu Joong-il regarding Kwak Bin’s physical condition, and he assured me that it wasn’t severe during the Asian Games. Kwak Bin was prepared to play during the tournament, but considering the presence of several exceptional pitchers in the national team, coach Ryu Joong-il was also concerned. He didn’t get the opportunity to pitch due to pride in him,” he explained.
Kwak Bin, who was anticipated to dominate as the national team’s ace, experienced back pain symptoms before the first match against Hong Kong in the group stage of the Asian Games on the 1st.
As a result of the injury, he couldn’t participate in any of the matches, including three group stage matches, two Super League matches, and the final match against Chinese Taipei.
Among all the national team’s pitchers, Kwak Bin was the only one who didn’t play a single game.
However, some voices have raised unfair allegations, suggesting that Kwak Bin, who hasn’t played a single match, is receiving military service benefits.
After acknowledging the public opinion, Kwak Bin refrained from engaging in external activities such as post-competition interviews and quietly returned to his team.
Coach Lee Seung-yeop remarked, “I understand that Kwak Bin feels remorseful towards his teammates,” and further added, “However, since the entire national team has achieved remarkable results, I hope he can leave the burden in his heart behind in Hangzhou.”
On the other hand, Coach Lee Seung-yeop revealed that with Kwak Bin’s return to the starting lineup, Raul Alcantara, the starting pitcher who recently struggled, will be pushed back.
Coach Lee stated, “Alcantara strained his back during the game against Lotte Giants on the 7th,” and added, “Due to the symptoms of the sprain, he will make approximately one start during the remaining games of the regular season.”
Alcantara’s performance was lackluster against the LG Twins on the 1st, allowing 13 hits and 7 runs in 6⅓ innings, and against Lotte on the 7th, allowing 5 hits and 4 runs over 3 innings.
