"I wanted to play against Kim Won-joong, but I don't think he would come out. Anyway, if I play on that day, I really want to have a hit. Doosan will be ranked higher than Lotte during the regular season as well."

At the end of the last Miyazaki Spring camp in Japan, Doosan Bears outfielder Kim Min-seok caught the attention of field coaches with his outstanding batting performance. Moreover, the last practice game of the spring camp was against the Lotte Giants.
Although Kim Min-seok's showdown with Kim Won-joong failed, Kim Min-seok made a strong first impression in the face-off by swinging three hits against his home Lotte at the time.

Continuing his momentum at the end of the spring camp, Kim also secured the starting left fielder and leadoff position at exhibition games with a batting average of 0.333, 10 hits, four RBIs and four walks. Since the season's opening, Kim has had four hits in four consecutive games, displaying his presence. However, he has had no hits in 12 at-bats for the past five games, continuing his slump.

In the end, Kim Min-seok's position narrowed when outfielder Choo Jae-hyun, another mega-trade protagonist, came up to the first team. Kim Min-seok was completely excluded from the starting lineup for the game on the 3rd after going 0 for 4 against Kiwoom in Jamsil on the 2nd. With even Cho returning to the first team, the Doosan bench decided on Kim Min-seok's second team. 안전놀이터

Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop said in a meeting with reporters, including Expots News, before the game on the 3rd, "[Kim Min-seok] doesn't seem to be in a state where he can play in the first team. It was so good during the camp and the opening game, but now I think his vision has completely collapsed. I thought it would be better to practice more in the second division, find strengths and problems, and find balance while playing the game rather than playing here because the balance has completely collapsed."

"I think it's going to be affected by the weather, and I think I'm a little tired mentally due to some errors. I think it's going to be technical, but I think it's going to be more mental," coach Lee said. "I don't think I'm going to give much time. If my performance is good, of course I'm going to post it right away. He's a capable player, and there's something we look forward to. With the same batting performance as yesterday, I thought he would continue to show this side of his performance in the first team, and I think it's right to exclude him from here because he could fall further into the swamp."

Doosan will play Sajik Lotte from the 4th to the 6th. Players who moved to different teams through trade last year will inevitably face off in the regular season for the first time. However, Kim Min-seok left a sense of regret as he moved to the second division ahead of a showdown with his long-awaited parents.

However, Choo Jae-hyun, not Kim Min-seok, can face his home for the first time. Choo Jae-hyun hit his first hit since moving to Doosan against Kiwoom in Jamsil on the 2nd. He also showed a bunt play that induced the winning run with an opponent's throwing error. Choo Jae-hyun remained hitless in four at-bats against Kiwoom in Jamsil on the 3rd. It is also of great interest to see if Choo Jae-hyun will face Jung Chul-won, who was a trading party as well as his former team pitchers.

Doosan won its first consecutive game of the season in the series last week. As it continues its upward trend to the weekend's Lotte match, it needs to recover the winning margin. Attention is focusing on whether Chu Jae-hyun, the protagonist of the mega-trade, will be able to perform against his family.
