“The facilities are state-of-the-art. “I need to be good at baseball, but this is it.” (Lotte’s new manager Kim Tae-hyung)

In October last year, Lotte’s new manager Kim Tae-hyung met with the players at Lotte Sangdong Baseball Stadium in Sangdong-myeon, Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. All first and second team players gathered together. More than 50 people, including players and coaches, showed up.

After the meeting, Coach Kim went to work every day for a week at Sangdong Stadium. Usually, it was customary for the director to return to Seoul after the meeting. Coach Kim came to Sangdong and coached the first and second team players. The reason why Coach Kim showed such affection for Sangdong Baseball Stadium is because he judged that the key to this year's Lotte fall baseball is the 'depth' of the player base. He repeatedly emphasized to the surrounding coaches the judgment that there should be a player base of about 1.2 groups, not 1.5.

Therefore, Coach Kim went to work in Sangdong every day and coached the players, paying attention to the posture of pitchers and batters. In fact, Coach Kim, who was watching Yoo Kang-nam's batting closely, held the bat himself and carefully instructed him, saying, "You must not go up."

Even in the bullpen, he paid attention to each and every movement of the players. When coach Kwon Oh-won ordered the pitcher to “pitch as if there were a runner on base,” coach Kim added, “If there is a fast runner, shorten the slide step.” ‘Winning Contractor’ coach Taehyung Kim did not miss any detail.

What caught Manager Kim's eye at the time was a 'pitcher pitch analysis' machine. Wind-up posture, arm angle, release point, etc. are displayed as coordinate values.

The Lotte R&D team perfectly analyzes pitcher indicators by converting four-seam, two-seam, slider, curve, change-up, and fork to the tilt values of right-handed and left-handed pitchers.
