KIA, Which Had A Series Of Nightmares
In 2023, KIA had a lot of depressing news. Injuries that hovered around the team from the start of the season plagued the team until the end of the season.
Of course injuries exist in every team. Kia, however, went a little too far. Na Sung-bum, a key hitter, injured his calf even before the season began. Na Sung-bum's first game of the season was June 23, overshadowing the initial expectation that it would not take that long to return. Kim Do-young, who was highly expected to improve his skills, injured his foot while doing base learning in the first two games. It was June 23 when I came back.
Injuries poured in at the end of the season, which was the most important. Mario Sanchez had a sore elbow, and Lee Eui-ri's blister was not easily resolved. The last-minute schedule of the season was tight because there were already many games pushed back by rain, but he had to turn the wheel to find an alternative starter. Even the batting lineup, which he believed, was devastated by the injury. Na Sung-bum injured his hamstring while running base and was out for the season. Choi Hyung-woo also ended the season after injuring his shoulder during a collision at first base. Park Chan-ho finished the season by being hit by a season.
There was noise externally, too. At the beginning of the season, former general manager Jang Jung-seok left the team after being caught up in a "demand for back money." It does not directly affect the performance, but it cannot be denied that the club atmosphere has been unstable for a while. Even after Shim Jae-hak, the head of the team, was appointed, he spent a lot of time reversing this atmosphere. From the beginning to the end, there was no feeling that the club had stabilized. Bad news popped out again if it was worth trying, and even more serious problems popped out if it was solved.
In the meantime, he finished the season with a better winning percentage (.514) than last year. However, unlike last year, he failed to advance to the postseason and ended the season in vain. It is regrettable that he failed to show proper performance due to injury.
Such bad luck may have been a factor in consideration for KIA coach Kim Jong-kook and the coaching staff, who were expected to have more than their performance last year. In the end, KIA decided to play 2024 under manager Kim Jong-guk. There was not such a great deal of commotion within this decision. The coaching staff was also slightly reorganized. Since there have been some bad luck this year, it can be said that it ended with a step of adding strength to the existing organization rather than a big change.
However, it gives the impression that excuses are poor to blame only bad luck. There was one game difference between Doosan and fifth place. In other words, if the players and coaching staff had worked a little harder, they could have gone to the postseason even with this bad luck. If so, we could get a better indulgence, and the system could be heading into 2024 with a little more stability.
Statistically, KIA was a team that could have performed better. KIA (.514) was the second-ranked team in the league after LG (.606) in terms of the Pitagorian win rate, which is calculated based on gains and losses margin. But the actual ranking was 6th. The bench's competence was also weak in a tight race that was important. He ranked ninth in the league with 15 wins and 21 losses (.417), and seventh in the league with 11 wins and 14 losses (.440) with a two-point margin. If the bench's strategy was more sophisticated, KIA could have gone higher if the players had a little more strength in the match.
Then from now on, KIA should focus on why it couldn't do it. In the end, it shows that the problem of the player group and the strategy of utilizing the player group were not sophisticated. The substitute selection was far less than that of other teams, and the infield confirmed that the difference between the skills of the main players and the non-main players was still large. Data to be carried over to next year is also not appropriate as a result of failing to even test properly due to grades.
Kang Jung-hwa, the catcher's first baseman who sang, also failed to produce any significant results this year. It should be carefully considered whether there were any problems, whether there was any way to do better, and whether there was anything wrong with the club's development strategy or resource management. The final camp in Okinawa from Nov. 1 will be the beginning. It is difficult to think that "next year, when the injured will return, will be better." On the contrary, veterans who make up the skeleton of the team get one year older.
There are times when the momentum is important, of course, in the long-term race of 144 games. The momentum is in the realm of luck. However, most games are ultimately judged by power and strategy. What KIA should do now is not to blame bad luck, but to think fiercely about what errors have been made in its strategy and how to sharpen its power. Attention is focusing on whether Kim Jong-guk's system, which got another chance despite its failure to advance to the postseason, will be able to correct errors and stand again at its starting point next year. 스포츠토토
