Taiwan, the winner of last year's Premier 12 championship, is scary. 

Ahead of the World Baseball Classic qualifying round, the Taiwanese professional baseball team met with Lotte without its main players and pushed the score to 6-7. Beside them was Sarah Edwards, who was appointed as Taiwan's first foreign female coach.토토사이트

According to the Taiwan Press Free Times, Jungshin announced on the 3rd that "Sarah Edwards, who was the batting coach in last year's Okinawa Winter League, will take over as the first-team batting coach." He played as a softball player and was appointed as the batting coach for the minor league rookie team under Philadelphia in 2023 to guide the players. 

Sarah came to Taiwan after team discussions in the eyes of heavyweight coach Keiichi Hirano in the 2024 Okinawa Winter League.

At a practice game between the Lotte Giants and the Jungshin Brothers held at the Tainan Asia-Pacific International Baseball Center in Taiwan on Wednesday, he took care of the team's players through warm-up and batting training before the game, and joined the team by having conversations with the coaching staff. Lotte was surprised to see his strides. 

Except for the main catcher Yoo Kang-nam who is recovering from surgery, Lotte has set up its best starting lineup with Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Son Ho-young (third baseman), Reyes (left fielder), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Park Seung-wook (striker) and Information-geun (catcher). Following starter Park Jin-young's two innings of pitching, Lotte put in Park Se-woong, Kim Jin-wook, Chung Hyeon-soo, Jung Chul-won, Koo Seung-min and Kim Won-joong one after another to show its will to win.

Even considering that mid-February is still an early practice game that puts more weight on the process, the game continued without tilting to either side until the end of the ninth inning.

Keiichi Hirano, a Japanese coach who leads the Zhongxin Brothers of Taiwan's professional baseball, who decided to select the first foreign female batting coach, told the Free Times that the coach's ability had nothing to do with gender. 

Baseball's glass ceiling was broken only because of its ability. Taiwan accepted Sarah Edwards' coach. Here's a hint to win the Premier 12.
