"We did our best to prepare. We will show the fans a fun and fun game."

The managers and captains of 10 professional baseball teams gathered online ahead of the 2020 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League, which opened on the 5th, and made a resolution to start the season.

The director and 20 captains of each club announced their resolutions this season with video interviews linked at the studio at The K Hotel in Seocho-gu, Seoul yesterday (2nd).

As the KBO Secretariat was unable to hold a media day event where players, reporters, and fans gathered in the wake of Corona 19, it was the first domestic professional sports event to prepare a video media day by connecting the home stadiums of each club as one.

The media day interview, recorded privately, spread across the country through cable sports and mobile platforms specializing in sports at 2 o'clock today.

Video Media Day ended with 'Thanks to Challenges', a national participation campaign that raises the morale and pride of medical personnel fighting at the front line of Corona 19.

The coaches and players thanked the medical staff who had been eager to prevent and treat baseball and fans who had been eager for the opening of the baseball to get them started.

Last year, coach Tae-Hyung Kim of Doosan Bears, the champion of the regular league and Korean series, pledged to "prepare well with the goal of winning this year so that we will endeavor to show our fans a happy appearance."

Nine team managers, except for Heo Moon Hoe, revealed the starting pitchers for the opening game.

The 2018 Korean Series Championship Team, SK manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, who will hold an official opening match this year with Hanwha Eagles at the Incheon SK Happy Dream Stadium at 2pm on the 5th, announces Nick Kingham and Hanwha as the starting pitcher.

Jaewon Oh (Doosan), Sangsoo Kim (kium), Choi Jeong (SK), Hyunsoo Kim (LG), Yang Ji-ji (NC), Yuhan Jun (kt), Yang Hyun-jong (KIA), Park Hae-min (Samsung), Lee Yong-gyu (Hanhwa), Min Byeong-hun (Lotte) The 10 team captains also appeared after the director and showed off.

Kim Sang-soo said, "I hope Yang Hyun-jong will throw up to 7 times in the opening game and hope that we will reverse 8-8 times to win."
