Участник:"I know that Japan is good, and we're the Asian Games winner."

Three weeks ago, was there another baseball player happier than Hanwha Eagles right-hander Moon Dong-joo (20). On October 7, he started the final of the Hangzhou Asian Games at Shaoxing Baseball Softball Sports Center in Zhejiang Province, China, and pitched six scoreless innings. Thanks to Moon Dong-ju's brilliant pitching, South Korea beat "difficult enemy" Taiwan 2-0 to achieve its fourth consecutive Asian Games victory. Moon Dong-ju, the first adult representative, confirmed that it is the future and present of Korean baseball.

"First of all, I didn't work out and took a good rest."

"Moon Dong-ju, who faced off in the dugout on the first base of Daejeon Baseball Stadium on Thursday, seemed to be in a very good condition probably because he achieved his goal and took enough rest for more than 20 days." With a bright face, he talked about the Asian Professional Baseball Championship (APBC) at Tokyo Dome in Japan next month.

He pitched in the final game of the regular season on September 3 and pitched 10 innings in two games at the Asian Games. Turn around and the next schedule awaits. He will join the APBC national team on the 5th of next month. He will take training camp in Daegu and participate in the competition that opens on the 16th.

"I was thinking of playing. I take a long break from exercising, but I can prepare without any major problems. I'm going to work out now. There is a risk of injury if you don't do it."

Moon Dong-ju is a "treasure" that Hanwha has cherished and managed. Concerned about injuries caused by excessive pitching, he set a 130-inning pitching limit before the start of the season. Including the Asian Games. So far, he has pitched a total of 128 ⅔ innings to reach the pitching innings set by the club.

We can't turn a blind eye to the national team call. However, management seems necessary.

"When I looked at the (Japanese) lineup, there were many players who were good players. But everyone knows that Japan is good at it's true. Work

I'm sure the players know that they're good."

South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Australia will participate in the APBC. Young players under the age of 24 and under the age of 3 years from each league will participate. Even though he is not the best member, he seems to have a good Japanese history.

Yokohama BayStars second baseman Maki Shugo (25) was the only winner of the WBC Japanese national team. He is Yokohama's fourth batter with a batting average of .293-29 home runs-103 RBIs this season. He is the only clutch heater with more than 100 RBIs among 12 batters in both leagues.

"Japan will try to lead the game. But there's no reason for us to go in, representing Korea. I have a good memory of the Asian Games. I know it's harder than the Asian Games, but I still have to give it a try. With that in mind, I'm sure there will be good results."

Japan and Tokyo Dome are also unfamiliar. It's not an off-season training, it's a tournament. The match against Japan in Japan is bound to be special to the young players of the national team.

"I don't have a particular team I want to play against. I have to throw my best in the game that goes out. It's my first time in Japan, so I think it'll be more fun."

Even though he was worried about Japan's power, he didn't lose confidence. It's a gift planted by winning the Asian Games. Participation in the competition, not the finishing training, seems to be a stronger motivation.

Moon Dong-ju said he was grateful for the club's consideration.

"I was able to do well because I prepared for the Asian Games while resting. You thought a lot about me. This is a big motivation."

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of ball Moon Dong-ju will throw at the Tokyo Dome. 토토사이트먹튀
