Another disaster recurred. The humiliation of being 메이저사이트 eliminated in the first round of the World Baseball Classic three times in a row is also approaching. Korean baseball collapsed once again in Tokyo.
South Korea suffered a crushing defeat by 4-13, 9 points, as the mound collapsed in the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC) Group B final round 2 game against Japan held at Tokyo Dome, Japan on the 10th. In 2009, after the 7th cold game loss (2-14) in the 1st round of the WBC, he lost with the largest score difference in the match against Japan in 14 years.
It was a disgraceful defeat of an unexpected level. According to the rules of the tournament organizing committee, a cold game loss could be declared if there was a difference of more than 10 points between the teams after the 7th inning. .
At the same time, after losing against Australia (7-8), Korea, which suffered two consecutive losses, was virtually eliminated from the first round of the WBC.
The humiliating defeat against Japan on the 10th and the defeat against Australia on the 9th were more painful because the shameful bare face of Korean baseball was exposed.
On the 9th, Korea lost 7-8 after struggling against Australia, which was considered to be one step below in terms of power. It was the result of losing momentum and detail in the game to the extent that the name of the strongman, ranked 4th in the WBSC world ranking, was embarrassing.
Prior to the tournament, he focused all his attention on the match against Australia and devoted himself to power analysis and preparations for the match, but he had to accept the bitter result of losing his first match in three WBC tournaments in a row, revealing his deficiencies in all aspects.
Unfortunately, once the first button was sewn on, everything started to get twisted. The same goes for the match against Japan on the 10th. Korea poured a total of 10 pitchers representing the KBO League and allowed 13 runs. He allowed 13 hits and contributed 9 walks (7 walks), which contrasted sharply with the Japanese pitchers, who did not record a single walk in 9 innings and only allowed 1 walk.
It was the same with the other line. In the match against Japan, Korea hit 2 doubles and 1 home run, but only scored 4 runs with 6 hits. Neither accuracy nor maneuvering through the operation was shown at all. On the other hand, Japan’s long hits were exactly the same as Korea’s, with one home run and two doubles. Scored 2 runs in the 7th inning.
Objectively speaking, it was a Korea-Japan match where the skill gap between Korea and Japan was too great. However, the bigger problem is Korea, which is showing an overall difficulty in this tournament to the extent that it is not known where to start.
It has already become a situation where you have to expect a slim probability even after counting the number of cases in the quarterfinals. As of now, we are in a position where we have to expect a big win with the minimum number of goals in the remaining two games and expect the opponents to bite each other.
Korean baseball clearly showed its international competitiveness through the match between Australia and Japan. It’s not just this time. The previous 2020 Tokyo Olympics No Medal also showed the appearance of disaster. Excluding some of the less competitive Asian Games and international competitions such as the Premier 12, it is not easy to find cases where Korean baseball has recently achieved good results in the highest level of international competition. At this level, it is safe to say that Korean baseball has collapsed at the international level.
Will I be able to build a new house after everything collapses? The remaining two games of the finals must capture both the content and the results, even if it is to hold on to a glimmer of hope or to show the possibility that Korean baseball can rise again in the future.
