Senior assistant coach Kim Tae-hyung is on his way to the coach? Coach Kim Min-jae must be good.

Manager Kim Tae-hyung took the helm of Lotte Giants. The composition of coaches to assist head coach Kim is being completed. There are still coaches who may come from teams with the remaining postseason games, so the announcement of the full list is being delayed, but it is known that coach Kim Min-jae has been appointed as Lotte's new head coach as SSG Landers' fall baseball is over.

There is no place where any position is not important, but the importance of the role of the head coach is mouth-watering. It should serve as a bridge between the coach and the rest of the coaches, and actively communicate with the players. In particular, director Kim is known for his scary(?) style. It is necessary to take care of your surroundings like a "mother" in the position of the head coach.

Coach Kim left the heavy responsibility to coach Kim. Their relationship dates back to the 2019-2020 season. We had a bowl of rice at Doosan. At that time, Kim was the operation coach.

However, after the 2020 season, pitching coach Kim Won-hyung, who was with Doosan, was appointed as the SK Wyverns (currently SSG Landers), and he took coach Kim at that time. In the baseball world, it is customary not to prevent movement to higher positions. Kim was appointed as the head coach of SK.

But he was not the head coach this season. Head coach Kim Won-hyung called in second-tier coach Cho Won-woo as a bench coach, taking over the role of senior coach this season. Coach Kim was in charge of the operation and the baserunning part. This time, when head coach Kim Tae-hyung talked about the senior coach position again, the result came out that head coach Kim Won-hyung failed to prevent the move. From coach Kim's point of view, it was also meaningful to go to the hometown team.

In any case, it is the first time that coach Kim acts as a senior coach under coach Kim Tae-hyung. There is reason to feel good. This is because senior coaches who met with head coach Kim are frequently promoted as coaches.

Han Yong-deok was the head coach at the end of 2017. He became the manager of the Hanwha Eagles. At that time, rumors of appointment spread ahead of the Korean Series, making Doosan uneasy, and eventually finished second. So, when Doosan said that senior coach Lee Kang-chul would become KT Wiz coach the following year, Doosan made an official announcement before the Korean Series.

Although he was not the head coach, pitching coach Kim Won-hyung also learned baseball from manager Kim and became a manager. He was a senior-level coach with full pitching power. It is not a case where he became a manager immediately, but Kang In-kwon, who is leading the NC Dinos sensation this fall, also worked as a battery coach when manager Kim Tae-hyung was at Doosan.

There is certainly a reason why coaches raised by head coach Kim are well appointed as coaches. For now, Doosan's performance was good at the time, so the coaches' achievements would have been highly appreciated. Manager Kim led Doosan to the Korean Series for the seventh consecutive season. The coaches got the credit.

On top of that, it was also important to expect that the clubs would have seen and learned coach Kim's unique charisma and leadership style, and that the new coaches they serve would have learned from the side. In fact, all four directors mentioned above have succeeded. Manager Han Yong-deok led Hanwha, the lower team, to fall baseball for the first time in 11 years. Director Lee Kang-chul is a master who does not need an explanation now. Coach Kim Won-hyung also led the team to a combined victory last season. Director Kang In-kwon also has the scent of a first-year master. 스포츠토토

Director Kang's example is interesting. Coach Kim Tae-hyung relentlessly sent him to the second division when star player Park Kun-woo played insincerely when he was at Doosan. Coach Kang also made a strong move to the second division when Park Gun-woo demanded a replacement in the second half of the game this season. The result was the same. Park Kun-woo, who returned with responsibility, later devoted himself to the team.

Coach Kim Min-jae is also a recognized leader for his ability to coach any team in the future. If you assist coach Kim Tae-hyung and absorb the good things, a good day will come for coach Kim.
