Perfect internal crackdown + the best foreigners ever! What's left? If you solve your homework properly

 The acceleration quickly accelerated.


These are KIA Tigers, who have been taking a break since the beginning of the new year. Kia signed a three-year contract with Kim Sun-bin, its internal FA, on Monday for a total of 3 billion won (approx. The next day, it signed a multi-year contract worth 2.2 billion won (approx. On Wednesday, it signed a one-million-dollar contract with Will Crowe, a foreign pitcher. Kia has been quiet for some time since signing a multi-year contract with Kim Tae-gun and an internal FA Ko Jong-wook, but it has been releasing big news since the first week of the new year.


Up until just a week ago, Kia's eyes were more concerned than expected. Amid sluggish negotiations with Kim Sun-bin, the team was the only team that failed to complete reinforcement of foreign pitchers as well among the 10 teams. There were considerable concerns that the unstoppable thread would adversely affect the preparation for the upcoming season. However, concerns are rapidly being dispelled as the behind-the-scenes efforts are revealed to the surface and announcements are made one after another.


It is also encouraging that the reinforcement of the past week has a considerable weight.


Kia will be able to prevent the collapse of the infield due to Kim's remaining in the team. Shortstop Park Chan-ho and third baseman Kim Do-young are not sure whether they will play well in the early part of the season due to injury, and early trial and error is inevitable for first baseman who will emerge after competition. Kim Sun-bin has been able to secure the center of gravity in the infield, which is full of question marks, allowing him to achieve minimal stability.


Choi Hyung-woo is also continuing to form one of the "clean-up trio" along with Socrates Brito and Na Sung-bum. Although he is already over the hump, he is still full of energy, as evidenced by his record of .321 (130 hits in 431 times at bat) with 17 homers and 81 RBIs in 121 games last year, and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 0.887. Just standing at the batter's box is enough to put pressure on opposing pitchers. 마카오카지노

 

Will Crowe's joining is expected to strengthen Kia's starting lineup. Having played full-time in the big league in the 2021-2022 season and played 86 games, he has a powerful 153km pitch. Despite having strong native starters leading to Yang Hyun-jong, Lee Ui-ri and Yoon Young-cheol, he is expected to gain momentum not only in managing the starters but also in accumulating wins, which have struggled over the past two years due to lack of support from foreign pitchers.

 "I hope there's an article about it. It's not coming out".  Samsung Lions catcher Kang Min-ho is looking forward to renewing his contract with "final manager" Oh Seung-hwan.  After graduating from Gyeonggi High School and Dankook University, Oh joined Samsung in 2005 and started with 100 saves in the minimum game and the shortest season in his third year since joining the club in 2007, and broke the minimum game and youngest record in both 2009 and 2011, completing 150 saves and 200 saves, respectively.
