“I feel very sorry for not being able to achieve results.” The
2023 World Baseball Classic 토토사이트 (WBC) national team recorded 2 wins and 2 losses in the first round, and failed to advance to the quarterfinals with 3rd place in the group rankings.
It is evaluated that this national team had the most regrets on the mound. In three games, excluding the last game against China, the team allowed 28 runs and the team’s ERA collapsed to 8.31.
Also, out of the 15 pitchers selected for the national team, most pitchers could not be considered to have started the game properly, except for three players, Kim Won-joong, Won Tae-in, and Jeong Cheol-won.
In particular, Kim Won-joong recorded 41 pitches in 3.1 innings in 5 games, including the WBC official evaluation match between Orix Buffaloes and Hanshin Tigers.
Among them, Kim Won-joong played a large part in the WBC finals, throwing 30 pitches in 1.2 innings in 3 games in the main WBC tournament.
However, Kim Won-joong was involved in all conceding against Australia, Korea and Japan, and the Czech Republic.
He came up in the 7th inning against Australia in his first game, hit a come-from-behind 3-run homer and became the losing pitcher, and in the match against Korea and Japan, he took the mound with a full base safely in the 6th inning, bringing in 3 runners home with 2 hits and 1 sacrifice fly. In the match against the Czech Republic, in the 8th inning, with one out and first base, he filled the bases full base with a hit and a ball that hit his body, creating an excuse for a run.
As a result, Kim Won-joong is not receiving much recognition due to poor results despite contributing to the mound in every game on the national team mound.
