After winning gold at the Hangzhou Asian Games with a squad that featured players in their fourth year of professional competition and under-25s, South Korean baseball coach Ryu Joong-il, 60, reached the final of the Asian Professional Baseball Championship (APBC) 2023 with a squad that featured players in their 24th year of professional competition and under-24s.
Korea defeated Chinese Taipei 6-1 in the third game of the APBC Qualifier at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, on April 18.
After a 3-2 extra-inning victory over Australia and a 1-2 loss to Japan, Korea defeated Chinese Taipei to finish second with a 2-1 record.
They will play for the trophy against 'nemesis' Japan (3 wins) at the same venue at 6pm on the 19th.
"Our offense worked well from the beginning against Chinese Taipei today," said Ryu after the final, "Won Tae-in (Samsung Lions) pitched well until the fifth inning, and the bullpen did a good job." "The future of Korean baseball is bright, especially for our pitchers," said Ryu.

Begründung

Won threw five innings of one-run ball with three hits and one walk.
Kim Young-gyu (NC Dinos), Choi Seung-yong (Doosan Bears), Choi Ji-min, and Jung Hae-young (KIA Tigers) also pitched the remaining four scoreless innings.
The Korean offense scored six runs on 10 hits and eight walks. The early scoring made the game easy.
"Chinese Taipei starter Wang Yen-chung gave up a lot of walks, so we had a chance to score early in the game," Liu recalled. "We scored four runs in the second inning and easily won the game."
On Sunday, South Korea will face Japan, who they lost to by one point in the preliminary round, for the title.
"I'm really looking forward to the game," Ryu said, adding, "Of course, we want to win, but we'll do our best."
At the Hangzhou Asian Games, South Korea lost to Chinese Taipei in the first game, but beat them again in the final to win their fourth straight Asian Games title.
Ryu and his "young Korean team" will be looking to upset Japan at the APBC.
Kwak Bin Kwak (Doosan Bears) will start for Korea in the final, and Tatsuya Imai (Seibu Lions) for Japan.
Both pitchers are "fastball" right-handed pitchers who throw fastballs.
Coach Liu said, "Imai has a fastball and a good changeup. I'm curious to see how our batters will cope. I expect Kim Hwi-jip (Kiwoom Heroes) and 바카라사이트 Kim Joo-won (NC) to hit well," said Ryu, "and Kwak Bin is Korea's right-handed ace. I hope he pitches well in the final."
With the Hangzhou Asian Games and the APBC, Ryu saw the potential of Korean baseball.
"I thought the Hangzhou Asian Games was a generational change for the national team. "I think the young players' skills have improved during the APBC," he said, "and I hope they will perform well in the Premier 12 and the World Baseball Classic (WBC).
