The Doosan Bears are trying to make a major change to the first-team coach Lee Seung-yeop and the second-tier general manager, Tomaru Nimura.스포츠토토

Doosan confirmed its position on the coaching staff for the 2025 season on Wednesday. Not only has it made significant changes in the details of the first team, but it is also notable that veteran Japanese leaders have joined the Futures part.

The first team will be led by head coach Koji Goto, quality control (QC) coach Cho Sung-hwan, pitching coach Park Jung-bae and Kim Ji-yong, hitting coach Park Seok-min and Lee Young-soo, operation Lim Jae-hyun (3rd base), defense coach Kim Dong-han (1st base), battery coach Cho In-sung, training coach Cheon Jong-min, Cho Kwang-hee and Yoo Jong-soo.

For starters, the newly established QC position will serve as a bridge between the team and the coaching staff, judging that Cho Sung-hwan, who can communicate well, is the right person. Cho was in charge of defense until last year.

Coach Park Seok-min, who was newly recruited, boasted the best batting ability when he was active, and after retirement, he trained for the Yomiuri Giants of the Japanese professional baseball league. Coach Lim Jae-hyun is considered a leader who established theories on running the bases based on sincere research.

Coach Cho In-sung has returned to the top team in the battery section as well. In addition to his unique flaming and delicate leadership, Cho, who used to work closely with players in the Futures League, is considered the right person as he served in the first or second division as a battery coach.

The Futures (second division) team will be newly appointed to the position that has been vacant since Junghoon Lee's resignation.

The newly recruited general coach, Nimura, has experience in coaching all parts of the team except batting, pitching, defense and baserunning. He has been recognized for his ability to nurture the team by serving as the first team's head coach and second team coach at the Chunichi Dragons and Rakuten Golden Eagles.

The pitching part was also attended by veteran Japanese pitcher coach Ono Kazuyoshi. Ono, a former pitcher with 82 wins in the NPB's first division, has turned into a leader since 1998 and served as a first-team pitching coach for the Kintetsu Buffaloes, Rakuten Golden Eagles, and Seibu Lions.

In addition, the Futures team is in charge of pitching coach Cha Bum-yeom, hitting coach Lee Do-hyung and Cho Jung-geun, defensive coach Seo Ye-il, operation and base coach Kim Jae-hyun, battery coach Kim Jin-soo, and training coaches Lee Deok-hyun, Kwak Sung-wook and Kwon Bum-joon.

Coach Cho Joong-geun was well received as a batting coach for the police baseball team and KT Wiz for nine years from 2016 to last year. When he was active, Kim Jae-hyun was recognized for his ability to steal bases and run. Coach Seo Ye-il proved his sincere attitude and passion for baseball for nine seasons with the Doosan Bears until last year.

Coach Kwon Myung-chul, coach Cho Woong-cheon, and coach Cho Kyung-taek will be in charge of the rehabilitation and residual forces.
