"We don't think so at all. We've managed it wholeheartedly."

Doosan and Taek-yeon Kim suffered from controversy over their overwork last year. Kim is a top prospect who was selected as the second player in the first round of the 2024 rookie draft. During the 2024 season, he pitched 60 games and 65 innings, recording three wins, two losses, four holds, 19 saves, and an ERA of 2.08. He instantly became one of the top closers in the league. The Rookie of the Year award was also taken up by Kim. However, as 60 high school graduates participated in the game, some people questioned whether it was a mistake or not.
Coach Lee Seung-yeop said, "Kim Taek-yeon threw relatively a lot in his first year as a pro, but it is never an overworked figure. I took full care of myself to prevent aftereffects from occurring after the season ended."
"After the season was over, we managed it sincerely in the training part," coach Lee Seung-yeop said. "Some fans call us overworked, but we don't think so at all. If we don't feel well after overworked, we don't let him pitch."
In 2019, Jung Woo-young (LG), a high school graduate with the same conditions as Kim Taek-yeon, played 65 ⅓ innings. Jung Woo-young then reigned as the league's best setup man, achieving more than 20 holds for the third consecutive year.
In the case of Kim Taek-yeon, she pitched three consecutive games in the 2024 season twice. As she had three consecutive games in May and June, which were relatively early in the season, there is a possibility that she had a strong image of being "hidden." She has not played three consecutive games since June 14.
Doosan took this into consideration and slowly prepared for Kim. Manager Lee Seung-yeop said, "Kim Taek-yeon is also a very smart player. This year, he started the engine later than other players in the camp. We were not worried, either, but he managed the engine so well in the training part. I think the preparation for the season is completely over."
Kim had three perfect scoreless innings in three exhibition games. He allowed no hit or walk and struck out five.
Manager Lee Seung-yeop hoped that "Kim Taek-yeon, a second-year player, will evolve into a more perfect closing pitcher." "When I saw an interview with Kim, he said he wanted to give me a sense of stability so that I could win no matter what. I really hope that if Kim Taek-yeon goes up, I will become a pitcher with enough power that the opponent has to give up the game," Lee said.
"Since I've done it for a year, I'm sure you know how to prepare for the game and what kind of role a pitcher is playing in the ninth inning. I believe I can do better than last year," he said.
