Lee Yi-ri out of national team roster due to injury on Nov. 22
KIA teammate Choi Ji-min "I wish I could have come with you"
Choi Ji-min (KIA Tigers) and Kim Young-gyu (NC Dinos) are the only left-handed pitchers on the baseball roster for the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games. 토토사이트 Choi has a big job on his hands.
The Korea Baseball Softball Association (KBSA) Performance Enhancement Committee and the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) Power Enhancement Committee removed Lee Yi-ri (KIA) from the Asian Games baseball team on Feb. 22, one day before the meeting.
"Lee is one of the best left-handers in Korea," said Ryu Joong-il, who met with the team before their first training session on the 23rd. We need him to pitch against Taiwan or Japan, but I doubt he can throw 70-80 pitches as a starter in this condition. I didn't think he could throw more than 80 pitches, so I replaced him."
Choi Ji-min, who met with the press after the first training session, commented on Lee's exclusion from the national team, saying, "I wish I could have come with him, but it's a shame he didn't make the team. I had a lot of older brothers who had international experience and knew each other, 스포츠토토 so it was a chance to get to know them better, but I couldn't come with them." "I listened to my brothers and told them to do well and come back," he said.
When asked how he felt about his first training session, he replied, "I feel good, but it's a big position, so I'm not excited and I need to do well."
Choi also touched the ball and chatted with Park Young-hyun (KT Wiz) during training. "I wasn't really thinking about other pitches, but when I was playing catch with (Park), I got a changeup and it was really good, so I wanted to ask him," he said.
The Performance Enhancement Committee selected outfielder Yoon Dong-hee (Lotte Giants), a non-pitcher, as Lee's replacement, making the role of the left-handed bullpen duo of Choi Ji-min and Kim Young-gyu at the Asian Games crucial.
"There's no pressure," Choi said. I'm going to pitch hard with the idea that I just need to pitch well in the situation that they put me in," said Choi.
At the Asian Games, the team will be looking to win their fourth consecutive gold medal. "I will definitely come back with a gold medal," Choi said. 스포츠토토맨
