Manager Ryu Joong-il struggled to select four pitchers from the pitching staff, which he could not decide even after his own warm-up match with Sangmu.
NC Kim Si-hoon, who joined belatedly, Sangmu Cho Min-seok, Um Sang-baek, who was a starting resource, and Jeon Sang-hyun were excluded from the most competitive right-handed bullpen.There are only four starters left, including
Ko Young-pyo, Kwak Bin, Choi Seung-yong and Lim Chan-kyu, and the first game against Taiwan is likely to take a four-day break and take the mound again against Australia.

Infielder Kim Young-woong, who had been suffering from shoulder pain since joining the team, was also frustrated.
In addition to Park Dong-won, who was appointed as the starter, Kim Hyung-joon remained, and Han Jun-su was excluded.
The final list for Ryu Joong-il is 28 people.
The national team, which had lost strength because Won Tae-in, Koo Ja-wook, and Son Joo-young were unable to join one after another even before the convocation, recovered its confidence through two weeks of training and warm-up matches.
It's a shame that the starting pitcher and the slugging power are good, but a well-organized lineup, solid defense, and above all, a strong bullpen are the must-win strategies.
