The rain in Sydney, Australia has stopped. The dark clouds disappeared and the sun rose. Doosan Bears players also appeared on the field one by one.
Doosan, led by coach Lee Seung-yeop, completed the 8th day of spring camp at Blacktown Baseball Stadium in Sydney, Australia on the 10th. Pitchers including Kwak Bin, Choi Won-jun, Jeong Cheol-won, Kim Dong-ju, and rookie Kim Taek-yeon checked their condition through catch balls and bullpen pitching, and the fielders went outside and sweated after the rain stopped.
Most of the Doosan players who came to Australia for the second year in a row expressed satisfaction with the climate and stadium environment. Pitcher Kim Taek-yeon said, “When there is sunlight, the weather definitely seems hot,” and “When there are clouds, it’s cool and it seems like perfect weather to throw a ball.”
Lee Young-ha smiled, saying, “I feel like going to a camp in a warm overseas country makes me feel better mentally, so my pace goes up. I think it’s a big help.”
The commander’s thoughts are not much different. Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop said, "If they practice enough here and then move to Japan, the players will feel different in terms of efficiency. Although it has only been a week since the camp started, the weather is said to have improved compared to last year, so in terms of efficiency, the camp is much better than last year. “I think it will happen,” he said.
What is different from a year ago is that there is enough time to improve one's practical skills this year. Last year, Doosan stayed in Australia throughout spring camp. However, this year, the first spring camp will be held in Australia until the 19th, and then the second spring camp, focusing on actual practice, will begin in Miyazaki, Japan, from the 21st. On March 3, there will be an evaluation match against Softbank Hawks at the Fukuoka PayPay Dome.
Coach Lee said, "Last year was a little lacking. There were two games scheduled against the Australian All-Stars, but one was canceled. If you play only the Blue and White match, all you can do is get a feel for it. While playing against the opposing team, a lot of the details were lacking. “I think so,” he said, looking back.
He continued, "This year, it's much better because we can go to Japan and play about 6-7 games. I think positively. The club also paid a lot of attention. The club is doing everything it can, and the same goes for us. It's a very good opportunity. “It’s the same,” he added.
Meanwhile, Doosan will hold the first blue and white match of this spring camp at Blacktown Baseball Stadium on the 14th. According to the Doosan club, the stands will be opened free of charge to local residents.
