The 2024 World Baseball Softball Association (WBSC) Premier 12 team, led by head coach Ryu Joong-il, won 5-1 against the Taiwan Professional Baseball League (CPBL) Weiqian Dragons at Tianmu Baseball Stadium in Taipei, Taiwan on the 10th.
The fourth batter of the Korean team was Moon Bo-kyung of the LG Twins on the day. Moon had no hit in three at-bats and scored two runs with one out.먹튀검증
Entering the batter's box for the first time with runners on the second and second bases with two outs in the bottom of the first inning, Moon grounded out to the third baseman. In the bottom of the fourth inning, he came out as the leadoff hitter and got on base with a pitch that hit him. Afterwards, he loaded the bases with one out with a walk by Yoon Dong-hee and a pitch hit by Kim Joo-won, and Kim Hyung-joon hit a three-run double.
Moon was struck out in the bottom of the fifth inning with one out and runners on the second base. In his last at-bat in the bottom of the eighth inning, he had a double play with no outs and no runners on the first base. Later in the bottom of the ninth inning, as a runner on the second base, he homered when Park Dong-won hit a timely hit to score his second run in the game.

The team won 5-1 in the last warm-up match before the event, but will likely continue to agonize over whether to hit the fourth batter or not. Ryu Joong-il, who met reporters after the match, said, "The ball is not flying. It keeps falling. I will rest tomorrow (May 11) and have my last training session on May 12. I think I will have to check until then."
At the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, in October last year, or the 2023 Asian Professional Baseball Championship (APBC) in Tokyo, Japan, there was little concern about the fourth batter because there was a big gun like Noh Si-hwan (Hanwha Eagles).
However, Noh Si-hwan was unable to participate due to injuries in this tournament, and even sluggers such as Kang Baek-ho were unable to participate in this tournament due to basic military training.
Ryu Joong-il said, "I told you before, but I think the No. 4 hitter will be a little flexible. I will decide according to my condition on that day."
Who will be the fourth batter in the lineup for the first group match against Taiwan to be held at Taipei Dome on the 13th after training on the 12th.
