Nagoya Asian Games Baseball Gold Medal Game: South Korea’s frequent bunt tactics are frustrated

In the Nagoya Asian Games baseball gold medal game, the South Korean team, which was determined to win, resorted to a large number of bunt-driven assist tactics, but the failure rate was very high, including strong hits by Yoon Dong-hee and Kim Ji-chan, both of whom failed to hit the ball. As a result, the Japanese team only led the Japanese team 1:0 after the first 6 games.

The South Korean team continued its offensive in the first 6 innings, with only 3 on and 3 out in the 4th inning. Even though it scored a point in the 2nd inning thanks to Moon Hyun Bin's timely hit, in the 3rd inning, the team occupied first and second base with zero outs. South Korea chose to let Yoon Dong Hee bunt, but was blocked at third base and declared a failure. The single inning ended with 0 points.

6 games on. The South Korean team occupied first base with no outs, and Kim Ji-chan's bunt resulted in a fly ball out. In the end, they failed to score an insurance run. There were 4 bunts in the first 6 innings alone, showing their ambition to win.

Unlike the South Korean team, the Japanese Soccer Team had a batter on base in the first and fifth inning. Even if it was 1 run behind in the 5th inning and scored with a double, it still chose to let the players attack. This Asian Games is the only team among the 8 teams that did not sacrifice hits.
