Doosan Bears and manager Lee Seung-yeop have been shaking up the top-ranked competition by creating a sensation since July. From Ulsan Lotte Giants on the 1st to KIA Tigers in Gwangju on the 21st, he won 10 consecutive wins. The 10-game winning streak was a new record for the most consecutive wins in a debut season as a manager for the Bears. The previous record was 9 consecutive victories in 1982 and 1984, respectively.
In addition, the 10-game winning streak is also the club's longest winning streak tie record. This is a record set once by director Kim In-sik in 2000 and Kim Tae-hyung in 2018. Coach Lee has enjoyed the honor of standing shoulder to shoulder with two coaches who are considered “masters” in Bears history from his first year. At the time of his appointment in October of last year, coach Lee took the baton with no leadership experience, raising concerns, but Doosan gave such a novice coach the modifier 'Miracle'.
Continuing their undefeated march in July, they are poised to break even the second-final composition, which was thought to be solidified by LG Twins in first place and SSG Landers in second place. 3rd place Doosan has a 5.5 game gap with 1st place LG and a 4 game gap with 2nd place SSG. It is worth being more conscious of the pursuit of the lower team with a two-game gap with the fourth-place NC Dinos, and with captain Heo Gyeong-min at the center, 토토사이트 all players are sprinting together shouting, “Let’s look at the top.” On-site officials who watched Doosan during the 10-game winning streak express, "Doosan seems to have moved forward quite a bit in the middle-ranking competition."
Coach Lee finally took over as the head coach and looked back on the days when he had a lot of worries. From 2015 to 2021, Doosan established a dynasty by lifting the championship trophy three times (2015, 2016, 2019) with a record for entering the Korean Series for the first time in the KBO for 7 consecutive years, but as it fell to 9th last year, the coach and coaches were replaced en masse. The players were divided into veterans who experienced the Doosan Dynasty or prospects who lacked first-team experience. It was certainly not easy for a novice leader to bring such a team back together and rebuild the dynasty. Director Lee is writing a new history in the process of doing that difficult job, raising expectations as his leader day by day.
At a meeting with reporters at the Gwangju-KIA Champions Field on the 22nd, Coach Lee said, "I don't think there is 100% of what people do. I always try to coordinate, teamwork, and be of one mind. However, it is difficult to gather all 28 players and 11 coaches. I keep trying to find out if there is a problem. I think it got better little by little," he confessed honestly.
The players also had the same thoughts as the coach. Captain Heo Gyeong-min raised his voice, saying, "Team Bears, from the senior to the youngest, all came together and achieved 10 consecutive victories."
In the process of making the original team and producing results, coach Lee himself learned a lot. He calmly said, "When the team was bad in the beginning, I blamed myself a lot, 'Am I lacking a lot?'
He continued, "I met many coaches while playing in the KBO league for 15 years. I always had a dream of becoming a leader, so when I thought about when I became a leader, I thought a lot about 'I must learn this,' 'This will hurt the players,' and 'If I do this, the players will be happy.'
Doosan will challenge Gwangju KIA on the 23rd to set a new record of 11 wins in a row, the club's all-time record, with domestic ace Kwak Bin at the fore. When he achieves 11 consecutive wins, Lee becomes the first Korean coach to step on the 11th consecutive win in his debut season. As for foreigners, Lotte manager Jerry Royster recorded 11 consecutive wins in his debut season in 2008.
Doosan’s undefeated miracle in July will end someday, but until it ends, I will do my best to win one more win. It is because he believes that Doosan's pride, which collapsed last year, can be restored to some extent only when it is in the top 5 at least. Baseball is, after all, a fight on the mound, and the starting lineup of Raul Alcantara, Kwak Bin, Brandon Waddell, and Choi Won-joon, and the bullpen, which includes Hong Kun-hee, Kim Myung-shin, Jeong Cheol-won, Park Chi-guk, and Lee Young-ha, are all solid, so the current uptrend will not be easily broken.
Director Lee raised his voice, saying, "I don't want you to dwell on winning streaks. Haven't you already done enough?", leaving a message to the squad, urging them to focus more on the remaining season's standings rather than the immediate winning streak.
