Embrace Mistakes: Doosan Bears Coach Urges Players to Be Fearless After Losses

Doosan Bears coach Kim Won-hyung has a message for his players following two consecutive heart-breaking losses: "Be shameless." He urged them not to be intimidated by defensive mistakes, acknowledging that errors are an inherent part of baseball.

The Bears suffered consecutive walk-off defeats to the KT Wiz on May 26 and 27. Both games saw defensive miscues prove costly. On May 26, errors by Ahn Jae-seok and Park Chan-ho in the third inning led to runs. The following day, Ahn Jae-seok again made an error, contributing to the team's downfall.

Be shameless.

Coach Kim's directive comes as a way to foster resilience within the team. He stressed that even with mistakes, players should maintain their confidence and continue to play aggressively. The sentiment is that dwelling on errors can paralyze a player, while a "shameless" attitude allows them to move past the mistake and focus on the next play. This approach aims to prevent a mental collapse after costly errors, which have plagued the team in recent games.

Walks and errors can never be eliminated.
