On the 30th of last month, Sahaguri Baseball Team coach Kim Min-kyu, who met at Shinpyeong Leports Park in Saha-gu, Busan, let out a sigh. This is because there are only two child players left in the squad. Even those who became middle school students this year can only play for the little baseball team until the end of next month according to the rules of the Little Baseball Federation. If additional members are not recruited within this month, the baseball team will not have a single player team. If there are no players, a united team cannot be formed and cannot participate in national competitions. In the hobby class, 5 children are really enjoying baseball as a ‘hobby’.바카라
Director Kim said, “There are so many children that there are only 24 elementary schools in Saha-gu, so in the early days, only the athlete squad reached 40 people.” built So far, ‘Donggu’ is the only little baseball team that has been closed due to a decrease in players in Busan. If the Saha-gu baseball team is disbanded, only 13 little baseball teams will remain in the region.
Although the Sahaguri Baseball Team is now on the verge of extinction, it has maintained good results and made a name for itself as a prestigious club. Founded in January 2009, this baseball team produced no professional players. However, it is a talented club that has won six national championships. The year after its foundation, it won the integrated runner-up in the Sports Toto Cup National Youth Baseball Championship, and showed its potential at the top of the competition just two years later. In addition to winning the championship, he also achieved runner-up six times in 14 years.

Another reason why the popularity of this baseball team has faded is because of coach Kim’s ‘straight stubbornness’. Coach Kim puts as much emphasis on ‘theory’ education as on actual combat. Baseball has many rules, and most terms are in English, so it is his iron rule that in order to properly understand this sport, ‘learning concepts’ should be given priority. Director Kim also teaches only ‘fastball’ from the founding to the present in order to prevent children from getting injured. Sliders and curveballs that are less prone to elbow injuries are nowhere to be found in this baseball team. Because of this situation, children sometimes ‘taught themselves’ breaking balls through the Internet.
The main players of the team and ‘Lee Yi-han’ are Lee Jun-seong and Lee Seung-min (13 years old or older). Right-handed orthodox pitcher Lee Jun-seong has good speed, but his pitches have a lot of ups and downs. He also serves as the first hitter and shortstop, and is good on defense, but his speed is poor for a top hitter. Lee Seung-min, a left-handed pitcher, is praised for his excellent control and speed as a pitcher. As a fielder, he is a big gun type enough to take on the 1st baseman and the 4th hitter. However, he has a tight fielding range and struggles when catching fast balls. His weak mentality is also considered a homework that needs to be supplemented.
Lee Seung-min, who said that he started exercising after his father, who plays baseball as a member of society, said, “Hanwha player Kim Seo-hyun has liked him since he was a high school student.” I want to make my professional debut and meet Seohyun Kim.”
