Seung-yeop Lee, battle of wits with ‘master’ Seong-geun Kim
Doosan Bears' new manager Lee Seung-yeop presents the essence of strategic baseball.

JTBC's 'Strongest Baseball', which will be broadcast on the 13th, will feature the strongest Monsters playing the final game of the 2022 season against the professional club Doosan Bears.

The strongest Monsters and Bears entered into a match with about 20,000 spectators watching, putting the pride of former and current professional players on the line. At the beginning of the game, the strongest Monsters seemed to have won the game by running away with a 3-1 lead, but the Bears produced two hits in a row and took a close lead at 3-2.

As a disciple of coach ‘Yasin’ Kim Seong-geun, Doosan Bears head coach Lee Seung-yeop constantly makes strategies and tries to take advantage of scoring opportunities. He even puts first-team player Heo Gyeong-min at the plate and puts fastball pitchers on the mound, threatening the Monsters' batting lineup. Not to be outdone, director Kim Seong-geun also counters director Lee Seung-yeop's strategy, and the battle of wits between the two coaches becomes increasingly fierce.

In particular, Coach Seung-Yeop Lee is showing off his winning skills worthy of the ultimate game of strategic baseball. It is said that the Strongest Monsters were shocked when they discovered Director Seung-yeop Lee's strategy late. It raises curiosity as to what director Lee Seung-yeop's strategy was that surprised everyone.

Caster Jeong Yong-gum, who watched the fierce battle between the strongest Monsters and the Bears, said that he was so nervous that he was exhausted after half an inning and hung his head. Accordingly, a special commentator appears to fill the vacancy of commentator Kim Seon-woo, who went to the bullpen, and save the broadcasting staff. The special commentator specializing in the Doosan Bears is said to have brilliant speech and predictions comparable to those of the late Sunny.
