'National left-handed ace in the lineage' Lee "International competitions are fun"

 Lee Yi-ri (21-KIA Tigers) was shaken up early in the game, but he didn't crumble.

Lee's six innings of work (six hits, three walks, two runs) against Japan at the Asia-Pacific Baseball Championship (APBC) 2023 helped South Korea to a loss, but it also allowed them to save their bullpen for the game against Chinese Taipei.

South Korea lost 1-2 to Japan in the second game of the APBC 2023 Qualifier at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, on Sunday.

Despite being the losing pitcher, Irie did his job.

In the top of the first inning, Irie gave up a leadoff walk to Yuki Okabayashi, but Okabayashi was thrown out trying to steal second for the first out.

After back-to-back singles to batters two through four loaded the bases, he struck out Teruaki Sato and got Jusei Mannami to fly out to center field to get out of the first jam.

After two walks and a hit batsman loaded the bases with no outs in the third, Maki Shugo singled to shortstop, trading a run for two outs. Sato struck out to prevent further damage.

In the fourth inning, a fastball to Mannami, who led off the inning, was driven up the middle for a solo shot to center.

Lee walked Mannami with two outs in the sixth inning, but then threw back-to-back fastballs that topped 150 kilometers per hour to get him to ground out in front of the second baseman.

The battle of egos between Mannami, who is fourth in the Nippon Professional Baseball Pacific League in home runs this year (25), and Lee added to the "fun" of the game.

"I was very nervous at the beginning of the game because it was my first appearance in this tournament," Lee said after the game, "but I relaxed when I got out of the jam, and I pitched well in the remaining innings while talking to Coach Choi Il-un." "I think I pitched well and had fun today. I'm looking forward to the upcoming international tournaments."

Lee pitched against the Dominican Republic (five innings, four hits, three runs) and the United States (five innings, five hits, two runs) at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in 2021.

He also wore the colors at the World Baseball Classic (WBC) in February of this year.

After being left out of the final roster just before the start of the Hangzhou Asian Games, Lee was named in the APBC squad of players aged 24 and under or in their third year of professional competition, and was given a key role in the starting line-up against Japan.

"Today, the Japanese batters came out and set up their own strike zone, and I hit my pitches well, but I managed to get out of 토토사이트 trouble and didn't give up too many runs," said Lee, who was relieved, adding, "I want to continue to play internationally and improve."

In the past, Korean baseball has been blessed with a 'left-handed ace'.

The team won a bronze medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics with Koo Dae-sung and a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics with Ryu Hyun-jin and Kim Kwang-hyun. Bong Joong-geun was the star of the 2009 WBC runner-up finish.

More recently, Korea Baseball finished fourth at the Tokyo Olympics and was eliminated in the first round of the 2023 WBC. However, Lee is well on his way to becoming the next in a long line of left-handed aces for the Korean national team.

  South Korean taekwondo sensation Seo Gun-woo, 20, failed to advance to the final and is headed to the bronze medal match. World No. 4 Seo lost his quarterfinal match against world No. 9 Mehran Barghourdari of Iran, 1-2 (4-2, 9-13, 8-12), in the men's 80-kilogram taekwondo event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, on Monday afternoon (Feb. 9), dropping him to the bronze medal match instead of the final. Starting in Paris, the sport of taekwondo will have a new rule. Until the last Games in Tokyo, taekwondo consisted of three two-minute rounds, followed by a fourth round of overtime if a winner could not be determined, with the winner being the first to score two points. Points were accumulated in the third round until the overtime period, but this rule changed at the Paris Games. The rules for the three two-minute rounds are the same, but the points from each round are not cumulative. At the end of each round, the next round will be played to a 0-...
