"I'll do my best."
The Korean national baseball team of Premier 12 led by Ryu Joong-il left Incheon International Airport for Taipei, Taiwan, in a hotly contested battleground. Ryu vowed to do his best to win every game. Since there are four starting pitchers in the entry list, he said he would actively utilize bullpen pitchers to manage the mound. Ryu Joong-il, who has yet to ease concerns over the fourth batter, said he would set up batting order depending on the opponent team.
The Korean national team conducted a call-up drill on April 24. The move is aimed at Ryu Joong-il checking players' performance and confirming their final entry. A total of 34 players competed to be included in the final entry, and 28 players boarded a plane bound for Taiwan.
The final list included 14 pitchers, including Jung Hae-young, Choi Ji-min, Kwak Do-kyu (KIA Tigers), Yoo Young-chan and Lim Chan-kyu (LG Twins), Kwak Bin, Kim Taek-yeon, Lee Young-ha, Choi Seung-yong (Dusan Bears), Ko Young-pyo and Park Young-hyun, So Hyung-joon (kt Wiz), Cho Byung-hyun (SSG Landers) and Kim Seo-hyun (Hanwha Eagles).
Two players including Park Dong-won (LG), Kim Hyung-joon (NC Dinos) became the home runners for the national team, while eight players including infielders Kim Do-young (KIA), Moon Bo-kyung, Shin Min-jae (LG), Park Sung-han (SSG), Na Seung-yeop (Lotte), Kim Hwi-jip (NC), Kim Joo-won (Kium Heroes) and Song Sung-moon (Kium Heroes) were on the roster. Four players including outfielders Choi Won-joon (KIA), Yoon Dong-hee (Lotte Giants), Lee Ju-hyung (Kium) and Hong Chang-ki (LG) were on the roster.
The Korean national team will engage in training for adaptation to Taiwan from May 9 to May 12. It will have a match against Taiwan in one opening round of Group B preliminary round at 7:30 p.m. on May 13 at Taipei Dome. It will face Cuba on May 14, Japan on May 15, the Dominican Republic on May 16, and Australia on May 18. To enter the Tokyo Dome, where the Super Round will take place, the Korean team needs to be among the top two players in Group B.
