Kim Gwang-hyun announced his national team retirement on his SNS, saying, “Thank you for supporting the national team Kim Gwang-hyun so far.” He added, “Becoming a national representative was a dream and a pride. The image of me singing the national anthem with a gold medal around my neck is something I will be proud of and proud of for the rest of my life.”

Manager Kim Won-hyeong, who we met on the field that day, said, “I threw really well in the first two innings (against Japan). I struck out 5 against 7 batters.

“Since he pitched two innings so perfectly, he had no choice but to be cautious in the third inning. (Kim) Gwanghyeon is now 36 years old (Korean age).

However, Gwanghyeon always went and threw the ball when he was called.

Director Kim said, “(WBC elimination) has already happened, and now it is important what to do in the future. If you are a baseball player, you must have a different perspective from the fans.” I do. How long do I have to wait for someone to come out?”

“You have to learn good things. Why do (new) good players come out every time Japan holds international competitions? Of course, it can be said that it is because of the wide infrastructure, but I think the basics are different. Good players don’t come out overnight. School Skills come out when a well-established basic period is added to a good physical condition during the growth period. I think we lacked that aspect.”
