"The Doosan Bears are a team that used to be good at baseball."

Doosan manager Kim Won-hyung (54) stressed twice.

Coach Kim said at the KBO League Media Day held on the 26th, "The Doosan Bears were originally good at baseball. I think that's the beginning of the year," he said.

That's right. From 2015 to 2021, Doosan made it to the Korean Series for the first time in KBO history (three wins and four runner-up), achieving a "dynasties." Manager Kim Won-hyung remembers those days well as Doosan's pitching coach from 2019 to 2020.

Doosan, however, tuck into fall baseball in fifth place to fourth after falling to ninth place in 2022 Last year, it fell back to ninth place. Already, he has not tasted the championship for six years since the last time in 2019, and the Korean Series, which was like an annual event, has not risen for four seasons.

At the end of the event, head coach Kim said, "I know what the fans want," adding, "I originally played Doosan Bears baseball well." Once again, I will show you that I am good at baseball," he said again. It was seen as an intention to instill a clear sense of goal and confidence in the squad.

Captain Yang Eui-ji (39), who attended the media day together, also responded to the head coach's determination. "Since we finished ninth last year, our young friends have really increased their training capacity in this spring camp," he said.

Coach Kim Won-hyung set up a right index finger at the host's request to mark this season's target ranking with his fingers. It meant first place, that is, winning.

Doosan has been a team with an unusually large number of "new coaches." Of the 12 coaches in history, 10 took the helm of a professional team for the first time at Doosan. There are only two coaches, Kim In-sik (1991-1992) and Kim Won-hyung (2021-2023 SSG), who served as a professional head coach before taking office.

Among them, manager Kim Won-hyung (2022) is the only one who has experienced the championship and taken over Doosan. Attention is focusing on whether he will be able to rebuild his famous family, who knows the "winning taste."
