According to multiple officials familiar with Lotte's situation, the pitching coach chosen by head coach Kim, who was appointed as Lotte's 21st manager, was found to be the main coach.
It's an unexpected card. Coach Kim is filling the coaching staff in his color after being confirmed to take the helm of Lotte. It's literally Kim Tae-hyung's division. 토토사이트링크 Bae Young-soo, the trusted second-tier coach, left behind, and organized eight coaches, including acting coach Lee Jong-un. And SSG Landers coach Kim Min-jae, who is known to be newly joining, will join as the head coach. Coaches Kim Joo-chan, Ko Young-min and Yoo Jae-shin, who worked for the Doosan Bears, were brought in. Other unknown positions in the first division will also be filled with people who coach Kim has sent love calls.
However, coach Joo has no special relationship with head coach Kim. Coach Kim played only at Doosan when he was a player, and he also worked only at Doosan and SK Wyverns former SSG. The main coach is Lotte Man. I've never left Lotte whether I'm a player or a coach. Coach Kim, who was born in 1967, and coach Joo, who was born in 1976, have a large age gap. The school ties do not overlap. In the category of Kim Tae-hyung Division, he is an unexpected person.
When he was manager of Doosan, manager Kim said, The pitching part gave full power to the coach. It's such an important position, but why didn't he fill it with a coach he knew well and was close to. You can think about two reasons.
First of all, it may have been difficult to find the coach Kim wants in the pitching category compared to other parts. The field is said to be experiencing difficulties in coaching regardless of their positions. Conditions that could not be brought in from other teams may have hampered the coach you like.
The second reason is that it may be a better choice to trust the main coach who knows Lotte clubs and pitchers better than anyone else. Joo first took the helm in 2008 after retiring from Lotte in 2007. Since serving as a rehabilitation coach at the time, he has changed positions to pitching coaches as many as 11 times until 2019. I had various experiences from the 1st to the 3rd tier. He created the myth of Lamb Bullpen with director Yang Seung-ho in 2012. Since then, he has been recognized for his leadership by serving as the main coach in the first division under coach Cho Won-woo and Yang Sang-moon. Coach Kim can receive advice not only on pitching part work but also on the club culture of Doosan and other Lotte. After leaving Lotte in 2019, Joo recently worked as a coach at Yangjeong Elementary School in Busan.
Meanwhile, the bullpen will also be headed by coach Kim Hyun-wook, who survived among the existing Lotte coaches. Coach Kim, who was a luxury side pitcher, joined Lotte as a training coach at the end of last year. Competence is recognized in both pitching and training categories. When coach Bae Young-soo moved to the second division in the middle of this season, he changed his position from training to pitcher and played the rest of the season.
