While the Doosan Bears finished their first spring camp schedule in Sydney, Australia, there was a foreign player who could not be with them. It was Jack Rogue of the U.S., who played as Doosan's ace with 10 wins last season.

But it turned out that there was a reason why I missed the camp. It was because of the first child born in the world.

According to Doosan officials, Zachlog built himself in the U.S. instead of joining the Sydney camp in Australia due to the birth of a child in early January.

An official from Doosan said, "We have pitched the bullpen 10 times in the United States. "I played live pitching twice," he said. "In the last live pitching on the 17th, I pitched two sets (40 pitches in total) of 20 pitches against batters."

And with Doosan now setting up its second spring camp in Miyazaki, Japan, Jack Log also joined in a surprise move.

An official said, "On the first day of Doosan's Miyazaki camp training on the 23rd, Zachlog showed off his unique affinity and hung out with his teammates without any awkwardness," adding, "On this day, he warmed up lightly with a catch and improved his physical condition." Now, Zachlog plans to prepare for the season in earnest by raising his physical condition to the fullest in Miyazaki.

Doosan pitching coach Chung Jae-hoon said, "I first greeted Zach Log at the hotel. Both the child and his wife seemed to be healthy and comfortable. I saw him training, and he looked in good condition. I know he's a great player, so I ordered him not to rush too much just because he joined late."

Zachlog said through the club, "I sincerely thank the club for their consideration in the birth of my first child, Lucy. Thanks to him, both wife and child are staying healthy. As much as the club was considerate, I also made my body in the United States with responsibility," he said, expressing his gratitude.

"Two days ago, I had dinner with the new foreign players (Flexen, Cameron) in Miyazaki and had a conversation. Both friends feel so good. It's been a long time since I joined, but both the team and the coaching staff are comfortable and good like family. I can feel that the team has been preparing hard in Australia. I'm looking forward to this season," he said, promising next time.

Meanwhile, Zachlog is a 10-win foreign pitcher produced by Doosan for the first time in two seasons last year after Alcantara (13 wins) during the 2023 season. He pitched in 30 games, recording 10-8-1 holds and a 2.81 ERA. Based on this strong performance, he renewed his contract with Doosan for a total of $1.1 million ahead of this season. An official from Doosan said, "After going through the league adaptation period, we achieved high-quality results. In particular, ERA 2.14 in the second half is the first left-hander (3rd overall) during that period. Not only his skills but also his attitude within the clubhouse was evaluated as one of the best resources in the league," he said, explaining his background at the time of renewal.
