If you are keeping track of baseball news, then you would know that the last Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) MVP is Kim Jae-hwan. The 30-year-old outfielder from the Doosan Bears had a career record-breaking season last year with 44 home runs and 133 RBIs. He also has 104 runs. Which makes him the first ever player in the history of the KBO to make at least 30 home runs, 100 RBIs, as well as 100 runs in 3 straight seasons.
The Doosan Bears are currently in Okinawa, Japan, for their team’s spring training. Prior to leaving, the sports news media was able to catch up with Kim at the airport. When the topic was about his career, and the next season, this is what he had to say: “I don’t think I need to put any pressure on myself just because of what I did last season,”. “We’re about to start a new season, and I’ll work hard and try to put together another strong year,” Kim adds.

The Doosan Bears will have some restructuring to do. Their All-Star catcher, Yang Eui-ji is no longer with the team, due to free agency. They will need to plug that hole in their lineup if they want another chance at a post-season appearance. Kim says that he still cannot believe that Yang is gone. But there are other players to pick up the slack. In addition, Jose Miguel Fernandez will be joining the team, as the new foreign hitter for the Doosan Bears.
Of course, the best sports betting experts will be keeping track of any changes in the lineups for each team across the KBO. In sports betting, baseball, most especially, the lineup is very important. Whoever is pitching, or hitting, can give players a hint of what the outcome of a game can be. The lineups will be finalized pretty soon, and bettors can start planning their wagers in their favorite Korean Sportsbook.
