Samsung is in 4th Place but Changed All of its Coaches… Will it be a Blessing or a Curse?

The second half of the season begins in a chaotic atmosphere with only coach Park Jin-man left behind during the 2nd Army All-Star Game , and there are many tasks to be resolved.

The Samsung Lions of professional baseball made a surprise announcement of their coaching staff on the afternoon of the 4th, while the 2024 Futures (2nd team) All-Star Game was in progress.

It was a large-scale personnel change that replaced all of the 1st team head coaches, pitching coaches, batting coaches, and battery coaches.

Samsung sent head coach Lee Byung-gyu, pitching coach Jeong Min-tae, and battery coach Lee Jeong-sik to the Futures team, and batting coach Lee Jin-young changed his role to assistant batting coach. 바카라사이트 추천

Bullpen coach Kwon Oh-joon was also sent down to the rehabilitation team.

On the other hand, Futures manager Jeong Dae-hyun was appointed as the first-team head coach and pitching coach, third-team coach Tachibana Yoshiie was appointed as batting coach, and second-team coaches Kang Young-sik and Chae Sang-byung were appointed as the first-team bullpen coach and battery coach, respectively.

In fact, all the major coaches were replaced, leaving only Director Park Jin-man.

In particular, Senior Coach Lee Byeong-gyu and Pitching Coach Jeong Min-tae were brought in because Director Park wanted them.

There are parts of Samsung's personnel announcements that are unclear, both in terms of timing and content.

Samsung was expected to be in the lower ranks before the start of this season, but it has made great strides with its stable mound and the growth of young fielders.

It has been threatening the lead by fighting for the upper ranks throughout the first half of the season, and as of the 29th of last month, it was in sole second place.

It fell to fourth place due to a five-game losing streak due to the stamina loss of bullpen pitchers at the end of the first half, but the gap with second-place LG Twins is only 1.5 games.

It is a situation where they can jump to the top at any time.

The transfer of the coaching staff, which is inconsistent with their performance, is also questionable.

Samsung recorded the third place out of 10 teams with an average ERA of 4.49 in the first half of this season, and the team batting average was the lowest at 0.260.

Compared to last year, the team average ERA has risen sharply from the bottom, while the team batting average has slipped from sixth place.

However, contrary to the revealed figures, Samsung sent two first-team pitching coaches who had shown good performance to the second team, and kept two existing first-team batting coaches in the first team.

With all the coaches who had worked together leaving the first team, it has become a frustrating situation for Manager Park Jin-man.
