“Because there’s a greater chance I can do well.”
He said, “I have no basis for confidence.” However, I could find a basis for confidence in what he said afterwards. It was probability.
Kwak Do-gyu, a left-handed pitcher who joined the national team as soon as he enjoyed two wins as a bullpen pitcher in the Korean Series, once expressed great confidence in an interview with the media during the Korean Series. At that time, Kwak said, “I had an ordinary mind and felt more comfortable, similar to other games. I was able to concentrate and calm down on the mound. I think it was an advantageous match because I prepared well. I was able to play comfortably in any team.” “I am ready to play in every game,” he said. “I am confident that I will do well even if I am in a situation where I have a runner. If I throw well in a crisis situation, I will have more fun.”
When I asked Kwak Do-gyu what the source of such confidence was, he smiled, saying, “There is no basis. I think that’s the most important thing.”
“Actually, I’m really nervous. I wonder how bad I’ll be if I can’t do it like this,” he said. “But such bad things happen less than you think. There’s a greater chance that I can do well.”
Kwak Do-gyu said, “I am a person who always wins with 70 percent probability no matter how good a batter is. That probability is on my side… “I think I just see the right words even if it’s really small,” he said. “I’m grateful that if I forget about ‘he’s a pitcher who gives a lot of walks’ and ‘he’s weak against right-handed hitters,’ and if he’s ‘strong,’ the article seems to keep separating nicely and supporting myself.”
If a batter can hit three times out of 10 times, he can become a main player and earn a large annual salary in baseball. On the contrary, a pitcher can throw seven times out of 10 times. In terms of probability, the pitcher is advantageous. Rather than giving a bad evaluation to himself, he increases his confidence and throws a ball with a 70 percent chance on the mound.
Kwak Do-gyu, who joined KIA in the 42nd place in the fifth round last year after graduating from Gong High School, only pitched in 14 games and 11 ⅔ innings in the first division last year to remain in the ERA of 8.49 without losing or losing, but he pitched in 55 ⅔ innings in 71 games this season, recording 4 wins, 2 losses, 2 saves, 16 holds, and an ERA of 3.56, playing as a must-winner for KIA. In the Korean Series, he pitched in four games, recorded two hits and four strikeouts in four innings, and became one of the main players in the championship by winning two relief games.
He is ready to throw well in the national team as well. “After pitching in the last game of the Korean Series, I exercised as if I was on standby the next day as usual. I am in good physical condition as I have done well,” Kwak said. “I am confident because I have played against overseas players 메이저놀이터. Of course, I will be able to raise the standard, but I think it is more advantageous because I know how to play the match.” Kwak was dispatched to the Australian League last winter and enhanced his skills by throwing balls. That experience can be helpful when facing a foreign team in the upcoming Premier 12. Korea will have its last Group B match against Australia on June 18.
