"We never had a season that we didn't aim to win."

The answer came amid talks about Kiwoom's "Winnow" will, which was virtually publicly revealed during the preparation process this season.토토사이트

No matter where Kiwoom's goal has been headed, there has never been at least as close to the club's internal meaning and external evaluation as this season. Above all, everyone paid attention to the situation that the one-top in each KBO League pitching and hitting category may be the last season together in Kiwoom.  

Outfielder Lee Jung-hoo and pitcher Ahn Woo-jin ranked first and second in the KBO League in the 2022 season (contribution to victory over substitute players and based on statistics). Lee Jung-hoo recorded 10.25 and Ahn Woo-jin recorded 7.92. Kiwoom could be interpreted as adding "18 wins" by having two players last year.

It was also very common sense that Kiwoom tried to do something "when the two players were there." In fact, Kiwoom has formalized its intention to challenge high places with unusual moves in the FA (free agent) and Futures FA markets.

Kiwoom can still dream next year. However, it has become difficult to predict when the "winnow chance" that everyone can nod will return.

Lee Jung-hoo, who was unable to return to the rest of the season due to an ankle injury in July, is certain to advance to the Major League through an upcoming winter posting (private bidding system). On top of that, Ahn Woo-jin, the pillar of the mound, will be on the operating table due to an elbow injury, making it unclear to be on the first-tier mound next season. Kiwoom delivered a rough surgery plan on the 2nd along with Ahn Woo-jin's diagnosis of elbow ligament damage. Elbow ligament joint surgery usually takes a year to return.

Ahn Woo-jin, who is in his sixth year in the KBO League, can serve in the military during the surgery break. In this case, it seems difficult for Ahn Woo-jin to return even in the 2025 season.

In recent seasons, Kiwoom has built up its strength by putting Lee Jung-hoo and Ahn Woo-jin as the backbone of the team. After next season, we faced the reality of having to build a team of completely different colors.

In the fielders, it is expected that it will be necessary to choose between the fielders that have been stagnant this season, confirming once again the growth of "military outfielder" Lee Joo-hyung, who gave up pitcher Choi Won-tae and recruited him. In the pitching staff, Jang Jae-young, who is showing potential for growth this season, is becoming a "key player." On top of that, Kiwoom is expected to set the stage for promising a "next opportunity" with five nominations within the third round of next season's draft, which was recruited through trade. This season, Kiwoom has fallen to the bottom due to various plans. The time has come a little earlier to find a new way not only in team performance but also in composition.
