On the last day of the 2023 World Baseball Classic Group A group match, the Chinese team lost to Cuba 1-7 in the afternoon game, was eliminated, and missed the semi-finals. Strike coach Peng Zhengmin talked about all the Chinese team players participating in this tournament after the game. He believed that their future development is quite exciting, and he will “always believe and look forward to them”.

Regarding this classic game, Peng Zhengmin said, “All the players and coaches are preparing for this game wholeheartedly. Although the results have come out and we have tried our best, I believe that these players will be the most important players of the team and the national team in the future. The main force, they will be needed at any time.” He also believes that the players will gain a lot of experience from this tournament, know their own shortcomings, and make corrections immediately.

The composition of the Chinese team this year, Peng Zhengmin believes, has brought back the best players who have traveled abroad, including those who played in the United States and Japan. The combat power can be regarded as “the strongest Chinese team”, but the combat power of other teams is also at the level of the major leagues. This year’s Chinese team can perform well in the competition of so many major league players, and Peng Zhengmin praised them “highly affirming them”.

A great professional player who can adjust his mood in every game and every game at the critical moment. He bluntly said, “I am very much looking forward to his performance in the major leagues in the new season.”
