‘Changes to pitching coaching staff’ KIA hires Jung Jae-hoon, Lee Dong-gul…says goodbye to Seo Jae-eung, Byun Jung-chul
The KIA Tigers have made major changes to their pitching coaching staff.
“We have hired former Doosan Bears coach Jung Jae-hoon and former Hanwha Eagles coach Lee Dong-gul,” the team announced on April 26. “Jung Jae-hoon will serve as the first-team pitching coach for the 2024 season and Lee Dong-gul will serve as the bullpen coach.”
Jeong began his professional career with Doosan in 2003 and played one year with the Lotte Giants in 2015 before returning to Doosan in 2016. He started a new coaching career with Doosan in 2018 and will work with KIA pitchers in 2024.토토사이트
Lee Dong-gul, who played for the Samsung Lions and Hanwha, worked as a power analyst for Hanwha after retiring from the game before taking over as coach in 2021. After three years of coaching, she parted ways with Hanwha and found a new home at KIA.
KIA decided not to re-sign coaches Seo Jae-ng and Kwak Jung-chul. Seo, who played for KIA in the Major League Baseball and KBO, was the pitching coach for KIA for six seasons, from 2018 to this year.
Kwak Jeong-cheol joined KIA in 2005 as the first overall pick and played for the organization until his retirement in 2018, and he also wore the KIA uniform from 2019 to this year.
