In five years since his retirement, Hanwha bullpen coach Yoon Kyu-jin took the mound at the Melbourne Ballpark on Sunday. It is not uncommon for a coach to throw batting balls for players, but it was not that bad. He even did wind-up work and threw the ball properly. His form was the same as before.

Coach Yoon became a batting ball pitcher to train catcher's blocking and baserunning. For smooth training, he needed a pitcher who could stably throw a one-bound ball. After collecting opinions on the field, Yoon was selected.온라인바카라

"This is the second time I threw a ball here. Other coaches looked suspicious at first, but once I threw it, they were so satisfied. Players will also want to be called out as much as possible," he said. Throwing a one-bound ball requires skilled skills. When asked if he is allowed to return to active duty, Yoon said with a chuckle, "I think his preparation for the season is going well, but my ligaments hurt. Sometimes I get cramps."

The closing pitcher Joo Hyun-sang, who was training next to him, said, "Coach Yoon played a big role in throwing this much." The explanation is that coach Yoon has exchanged balls with Joo Hyun-sang as a catch partner since last year. When he said that he seems to have a new contender for the closing pitcher this season, Joo Hyun-sang shook his head, saying, "Still, he has lost a lot of strength."

In Melbourne, Yoon has a lot of things to do. As he is younger than expected, more pitchers come to visit him. "I think I get to talk to myself a lot, which is hard to say to Yang Sang-moon," Yoon said. "All pitchers in my team are talkative. Even the new stylist (coordinator) Ponce talked a lot. Isn't it noisy when he is training now?"

There are many things to do, but I'm still very proud. Pitchers have prepared very well. "I think the preparation of pitchers has been going well, especially since Coach Yang Sang-moon came here. I was just full watching him throw our team's starters including (Um) Sang-baek from behind," Yoon said.

As the bullpen coach is in charge, expectations are high for bullpen pitchers in particular. The main catcher's ball partner starts from the beginning of the season this year. "I don't think the bullpen will be as difficult as it was last year," coach Yoon said. Cho Dong-wook, who has played a vital role in the bullpen since the middle of last season, is also a rookie to look forward to.

Pitchers who were engaged in weight training gathered their attention to coach Yoon. Coach Yoon laughed loudly again, saying, "I didn't know it would be such an in-depth interview after starting with a story of my condition."
