Samsung Lions, which has not received any news of recruitment or contracts, is showing a rapid pace in reorganizing the coaching staff.
After the Korean Series, Samsung announced earlier this month that it would not renew its contract with the five coaches of the team that was the runner-up, especially former Samsung Futures coach Lee Byung-kyu, who Park Jin-man joined as the head coach with the official appointment of the coach.
On the 21st, when Lee Byung-kyu, head coach of Futures, his former team, LG Twins Futures, was announced, Samsung will also announce a new head coach of Futures, Choi Il-eon, a former pitching coach of the national team.
Choi Il-eon, the new Futures coach who made his debut as a player with OB Bears in 1984, played for Samsung from 1991 to the following year, retired, and continued his leadership career with various clubs and national teams. 온라인바카라
Choi Il-eon, head coach of Futures, who has been coaching at five KBO League clubs since his former team OB, is said to have decided to recruit him based on his abundant field experience, especially in the expectation that he will help foster pitching prospects.
Some predict that the recruitment of Choi Il-eon, who also recruited pitching coaches several times from the baseball team, will solve the team’s concerns about the composition of the bullpen as well as the development of young players.
Samsung, which left former Futures coach Lee Byung-kyu, first-team hitting coach Yoshii Tachibana, as well as Lee Jung-sik, Kang Bong-kyu and Kwon Oh-joon, who were from Samsung for a long time, recruited coach Lee Jong-wook and coach Lee Heung-hyun.
With relatively few leaders chosen by head coach Park Jin-man having disappeared from the first team, how Samsung’s coaching staff will finish in the future is also a concern.
Currently, among Samsung’s coaching staff, Chung Min-tae, a pitching coach at Futures, and Park Hee-soo, a pitching coach at Yook Sung-gun, remain as coaches recruited by Park Jin-man.
