Coach Kim, who has the most championship rings among active coaches, leads Lotte,
a ‘popular team’ that has not won the Korean Series for the longest time, except for the Kiwoom Heroes,
which was re-established by acquiring the Hyundai Unicorns in 2008.
Coach Kim Tae-hyung
Although attention is focused on coach Kim Tae-hyung, coach Kim,
whom we met at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 23rd when the opening game of the 2024 Korean Professional Baseball KBO League is held, calmly said,
“I feel like I’m standing on an extension line.”
Coach Kim said, “It feels different from when I opened the regular season with the Doosan Bears,
but I still feel like I’m on the extension line because I’ve already played an exhibition game at Lotte.”
He added, “Even though I’ve been away from the dugout for a year, I’m at the baseball stadium.
“Because I’ve been appearing consistently, I don’t feel like I’m back after a long time,” he explained.
Of course, the passion of Busan baseball fans was confirmed.
Coach Kim said, “The enthusiasm of Lotte fans is really great,” and promised,
“We have prepared hard and will play hard in the season.”
Korean Series
Lotte, a representative popular team in the KBO League and an original member of the Korean Professional Baseball League in 1982,
failed to reach the top for 31 years until 2023 after winning the Korean Series in 1992.
The last time he appeared on the postseason stage was in 2017.
Coach Kim Tae-hyung advanced to the Korean Series seven times over eight seasons from 2015 to 2022 during his tenure at Doosan,
winning three championships (2015, 2016, and 2019).
Advancement to the Korean Series for 7 consecutive seasons (2015-2021)
is the longest record in the KBO League achieved only by coach Kim Tae-hyung.
The club that is most thirsty for the championship has entrusted the baton to coach Kim Tae-hyung, a ‘winner.’
Director Kim posted his candidacy statement saying, “I will repay you with results.”
