Doosan, with 4 consecutive wins, looks to regain first place Once again, ‘Dangun Match’

Doosan is on the rise, trailing No. 1 KIA by 1 game after suffering 3 consecutive losses KIA has a comparative advantage this year

Professional baseball's Doosan Bears are showing off their potential and are on the verge of regaining the lead.

Doosan won 10-3 in the home game against SSG Landers in the '2024 Shinhan Solbank KBO League' held at Jamsil Stadium on the 23rd.

Doosan has won 4 games in a row, including a sweep against SSG (3 consecutive wins).

In particular, the three-game winning streak against SSG is more meaningful. Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop expressed deep regret over the team's poor performance whenever they faced SSG in the early part of the season. That's because from 2022 to the beginning of this year, whenever SSG was encountered, it was unable to use its strength.

Due to the absence of ace Raul Alcantara due to injury, the team fell to 7th place early this month and fell into a major crisis. However, the native pitching team and bullpen team led by Kwak Bin filled the gap and minimized the runs conceded, and veteran hitters such as Kang Seung-ho, Heo Gyeong-min, Yang Seok-hwan, and Kim Jae-hwan played the main role and showed their potential to rise to second place.

The atmosphere heated up as Doosan, who was in good spirits, displayed overwhelming skills against his ‘natural enemy’.

The team's record (29 wins, 2 draws, 21 losses) is also eye-catching, and they are only one game behind the current first place KIA Tigers (29 wins, 1 draw, 19 losses). As they will play a three-game series against KIA at Gwangju Champions Field starting on the 24th, the first place position may change depending on the results of the game. The starting pitcher for the first game is local ace Kwak Bin. Kwak Bin suffered one loss to KIA this year, but showed excellent pitching ability with 4 wins, no losses, and an ERA of 1.82 in the last 5 games. KIA needs a change of pace. KIA established a dominant system after rising to first place on the 9th of last month. However, on the verge of 30 wins in the season, they fell into three consecutive losses and were allowed to catch up to Doosan. It was even more shocking that they lost all three games against the weak Lotte Giants. KIA's starting lineup has been weakened by injuries to Will Crowe and Lee Ui-ri, and the bullpen has not been performing well recently. The batting line is also off-beat and is having difficulties in attack. KIA is slightly ahead of Doosan this year with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. Starting pitcher Hwang Dong-ha's shoulders are heavy. Hwang Dong-ha will have to deal with the Doosan batting lineup, which has recently shown great momentum. Hwang Dong-ha started the season as a bullpen member this year, but returned to the starting role at the end of April. He recently pitched 5 innings in 3 consecutive games, and pitched better than expected with 1 win, 1 loss, and an ERA of 3.60.
