Coach Park Heung-sik, who was active until 1993, made a name for himself as a hitting coach after retiring from active duty, working for several clubs, including the Samsung Lions, KIA Tigers, Nexen Heroes (now Kiwoom Heroes), and Lotte Giants.
Coach Park Heung-sik, who worked as a hitting coach at Samsung from 1996 to 2007, became famous as the teacher of 'national hitter' Lee Seung-yeop. Now, I will be working with my ‘protégé’ Lee Seung-yeop as a member of the coaching staff.
Coach Park Heung-sik, who served as the Nexen 2nd team coach in 2011, the Nexen 1st team hitting coach in 2012, and the Lotte 1st team hitting coach from 2013 to 2014, served as the KIA 1st team hitting coach from 2015 to 2017, and led KIA's batting lineup in 2017.
He also contributed to winning the Korean Series. Coach Park Heung-sik, who served as coach of the KIA 2nd team from 2018 to 2020, also served as acting manager of the 1st team during the 2019 season.
Coach Park Heung-sik, who returned to the professional field last year while serving as the hitting coach for Lotte's second team, served as the head coach and hitting coach for the first team this year, and naturally left the team after this season as Lotte carried out a large-scale coaching staff change.
The Doosan team revealed the reason for hiring coach Park Heung-sik, saying, "He is a veteran leader who has proven his abilities in various clubs such as Samsung, KIA, Nexen, and Lotte."
Doosan continued, "Coaches Jo In-seong and Coach Bujeong-yeom have previously been recognized for their leadership and communication skills while working as coaches for the Doosan Bears.
Coach Kim Dong-han, who played for the Doosan Bears during his active years, is highly regarded for his unique sincerity even after his transformation as a leader. He also explained the reason for recruiting coaches Jo In-seong, Bujeong-yeom, and Kim Dong-han.
The detailed positions of the coaching staff, including Coach Woong-cheon Cho, who joined from the previous closing training and guided the pitching staff, and Coach Ji-yong Kim, who was recognized for his potential as a playing coach in 2023, will be confirmed later.
