Doosan Alcantara needs a beginner’s intention

Doosan Alcantara needs a beginner’s intention

I am happy to return to Doosan, where I played happily. I will challenge for the top position once again,”

said Raul Alcantara, who became the best pitcher in the KBO League by winning the most wins, winning percentage, and Golden Gloves with the Doosan Bears in professional baseball, as he returned to Doosan after challenging the Japanese stage. This is my impression.

More than ever, it is a time when Alcantara needs to reflect on its original intentions. Will Alcantara, who has been absent for a while due to injury since the beginning of the 2024 season, be able to gather his body and mind and show the side of an ace?

Coach Lee Seung-yeop heard troubling news twice from the middle to the end of last month. Foreign pitchers Brandon Waddell and Alcantara suffered injuries one after another.

Even before the season began, Coach Lee placed particular emphasis on preventing injuries to starting pitchers. However, before the start of the game, left-hander Choi Seung-yong was out of action due to a stress fracture. In addition, Brandon and Alcantara were left out of the first team lineup one after another.

Fortunately, Brandon has returned to the field since May and is playing without any problems. Coach Lee also expressed his belief, saying, "I'm sure my condition isn't 100% yet," but added, "There's no problem at all with his pitching. He'll play normally next time."

Now it is Alcantara's turn to return to the mound. When asked about Alcantara on the 9th, Coach Lee looked at his watch and said, "I think it's time to come." At the same time, he declared, “I will do everything as Alcantara wants.”

Alcantara was expunged from the first team entry on the 22nd of last month due to discomfort in his elbow. Afterwards, he was diagnosed with an elbow sprain during a domestic examination. There were no problems with the MRI. Therefore, I thought that Alcantara would return as soon as possible and help the team again.

However, his return date continued to be delayed. At the final examination at a domestic hospital on April 30, it was found that there were no problems on the MRI, but complaints of Alcantara pain continued. Alcantara even notified the club that he would wait for the opinion of the doctor at an American hospital. He also requested that he want to go to the United States and meet his doctor in person for a checkup.

Director Lee couldn't help but feel frustrated. However, he granted all of Alcantara's requests. This may have been because the elbow is a vital part of the pitcher's life, and it would not be good for the team if the ace became mentally unstable during the season.

In the end, Alcantara went to the United States, and on the 8th, he received the same opinion from his local doctor as the domestic medical team. There is now no medical reason for Alcantara to not play. On the 10th, he joined the team and did some simple training.

Coincidentally, during the 18 days from April 22nd to May 9th, when Alcantara was out of action, Doosan increased its win rate with tremendous momentum. During this period, they had 10 wins, 4 losses, and 5 consecutive wins. This is in contrast to the 11 wins and 15 losses they achieved before Alcantara's injury.

Coach Lee filled the three empty starting positions with Choi Won-jun, Choi Jun-ho, and Kim Yu-seong, and they performed beyond expectations. Wonjun Choi had 1 win and 1 loss in 3 games during this period, and Junho Choi played in 3 games and had no wins or losses, but the team won all of them. Kim Yu-seong recorded 1 win in 2 games.
