“Na Gyun-an (Lotte Giants) throws a very good ball.”
NC Dinos coach Kang In-kwon looked back on the defeat the previous day (23rd).
Coach Kang reviewed the game on the 23rd ahead of the 2023 professional baseball KBO League away game against Lotte at the Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 24th.
NC knelt 0-2 to Lotte in the game held at the same place the day before. It was largely because the batting line was silent with 6 hits and no score to the Lotte pitching staff, including Na Gyun-an (6 innings scoreless), Kim Sang-soo (1 inning scoreless), Koo Seung-min (1 inning scoreless), and Kim Won-joong (1 inning scoreless score).
Manager Kang In-kwon said,토토사이트 “Yesterday, Na Kyun-an threw a very good ball. The hitters didn’t respond properly at the plate. He sighed, saying, “I have to somehow improve my concentration, but Park Young-min (who came up to the first team) did not adapt well.”
The most regrettable moment as an NC was in the top of the 5th inning. Yoon Hyung-joon’s double, Seo Ho-cheol’s hit, and the opponent’s pitcher’s wild throw allowed second and third base to be safely connected, but Kim Joo-won (third baseman grounder), Do Tae-hoon (strikeout), and Son Ah-seop (strikeout) were all silent.
When asked if he hadn’t thought of squeeze at the time, manager Kang In-kwon said, “I was a left-handed hitter, and (the opponent) was in a state of forward defense. I didn’t consider it because the opposing pitcher was a player who threw the splitter well,” he said.
NC captain Son Ah-seop started as a left fielder in the game the previous day. In 2010, when he was active at Lotte, he often scrambled as a left fielder, but he hasn’t played much lately. Despite his unfamiliar position, he struggled and firmly defended NC’s outfield.
Director Kang said, “I was surprised to see Son Ah-seop defending the left fielder even though it was not his position. He said, “Because it is his family’s team, his concentration must have increased.” In preparation for this situation, I had Son Ah-seop practice left field a lot from the camp.”
At the same time, director Kang In-kwon said, “At first, I was anxious from the standpoint of watching (laughs). But Son A-seop said, ‘This is what I am doing. You don’t have to be anxious. Don’t worry, you can watch it with confidence,” he explained.
Meanwhile, NC, led by pitcher Choi Seong-young, Son A-seop (right fielder) – Park Min-woo (2nd baseman) – Park Kun-woo (designated hitter) – Jason Martin (center fielder) – Kwon Hee-dong (left fielder) – Park Se-hyeok (catcher) – Seo Ho-cheol (3rd baseman) Kim Joo-won (Shortstop) – Do Tae-hoon (1st baseman) was named in the starting lineup.
