“Junho Yoon is the future of our Doosan Bears.”
Serizawa Yuji, Doosan Bears battery coach, is paying special attention to 2023 rookie catcher Yoon Jun-ho (23) in this spring camp. Calmly, Yun Jun-ho is out of competition. Yang Eui-ji (36), who Doosan recruited as a free agent for 15.2 billion won in 4+2 this year, is holding out as a host, and Jang Seung-hyun (29), Ahn Seung-han (31), and Park Yoo-yeon (25) are fiercely fighting for the number 2 catcher. The first task for Yoon Jun-ho is to learn from his seniors and realize what makes him different from a professional.
Since 2010, coach Serizawa has worked as a coach for several KBO clubs, including SK Wyverns (now SSG Landers), Samsung Lions, LG Twins, and Doosan, while building relationships with Korea’s leading catchers. KIA Tigers head coach Jin Gap-yong (49), LG Twins battery coach Park Gyeong-wan (51), Lotte Giants Yoo Kang-nam (31), and Kiwoom Heroes Lee Ji-young (37) are representative examples. Coach Serizawa was delighted as if Lee Ji-young, whom he had trained during his Samsung days, was selected as the representative of the World Baseball Classic (WBC) in 2023 and put on the Taegeuk mark for the first time in his life.
In the eyes of a veteran catcher trainer, Yoon Jun-ho still has a long way to go. Serizawa is always by his side so that he can give advice anytime, even when Yoon Jun-ho is receiving pitchers’ pitches at the bullpen pitching rink and receiving catcher training separately. Coach Serizawa points out the regrettable points Yoon Jun-ho showed, and praises his good points.
Coach Serizawa said, “Yoon Jun-ho is the future of Doosan. You can think of it as a full force this year, but ultimately, I think we should look at the future of Doosan.” It means that he is a catcher that the club needs to develop from a long-term perspective. 바카라사이트
There is one advantage that Yoon Jun-ho overwhelms his seniors. He’s a strong shoulder. Coach Serizawa said with a smile, “My shoulder ranks first among our catchers right now.”
However, due to the nature of his position as a catcher, Junho Yun still has a lot more to do. Coach Serizawa said, “It is not enough for a catcher to have only a good shoulder. It is important to catch the ball well, including blocking,” but praised once again, “The shoulder is the strongest in our team.”
Junho Yoon expressed his gratitude to Coach Serizawa, who took care of everything from start to finish. He said, “Coach Serizawa taught me a lot of basic skills and told me to watch the seniors play and learn a lot. .
Yoon Jun-ho is the only rookie to join this Australian spring camp. He is unfamiliar with everything, but he is getting used to it one by one with the help of his roommate Kang Seung-ho (29).
Yoon Jun-ho said, “I came alone as a rookie, so it wasn’t easy to adapt, and I think there were a lot of difficulties. Still, I tried to have fun while playing baseball, and as I thought, I have a lot of exercise, but there is no big problem as I prepared well in Icheon. My brother bought me snacks at the mart and gave me sneakers as a gift. Thanks to you, I’m adapting well,” he said, vowing to grow well into the future of Doosan.
