The practice game between the Lotte Giants' second division and the Rakuten Monkeys' second division at the Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Center in Tainan, Taiwan, on the 21st (Korea time). Five billion won FA shortstop Roh Jin-hyuk (36) and 900 million won FA multi-infielder Kim Min-sung (37) drew attention for preparing for the season in the second division spring camp, not the first division.온라인바카라
Unlike the first division, Lotte's second division spring camp focuses on practice games. "Roh Jin-hyuk and Kim Min-sung have also participated in practice games consistently," said Kim Yong-hee, manager of the second division, who met before the game. However, Kim played defense for the first time on the day for the first time after serving as designated hitter. His position was first baseman. He was not the third baseman he saw most times in his career.
Come to think of it, Roh Jin-hyuk also played as a third baseman, not a main position shortstop. In the end, what this suggests is clear. Since the two are no longer the main players in the team, it suggests that they should take on any role in any situation when they reach the first team.
In fact, the starting lineup for Lotte's infielders this year is the same as last year. Manager Kim Tae-hyung said that he has completed the batting order plan. The figures show little change from last year. They are first baseman Na Seung-yeop, second baseman Ko Seung-min, shortstop Park Seung-wook, and third baseman Sohn Ho-young. Roh should not just prepare for Park's slump or injury, but should also be ready to join the team instead of other players. He already played as a third baseman in the first division last year.
Kim Min-sung has played all infield positions for the Kiwoom Heroes and the LG Twins. In the end, he has to play the same role for Lotte. They need to have a lot of defensive practice, and they are expected to be ordered to play various roles at bat. As they are veterans, they will not have much difficulty.
A contractor worth around 5 billion won (approx. Kim Min-sung is not the same as a veteran. However, captain Jeon Jun-woo said, "Baseball is not based on age." What manager Kim Tae-hyung wants most from the two veterans is his team-first mindset. In fact, it is helpful for the two not to stick to their position and value in the team.
Kim Yong-hee also said that the two players have good training posture and good batting performance compared to last year. He expected that they would not be as sluggish as last year if they make the first team any time. "We had one-on-one interviews with all the players. They are very knowledgeable about their posture and what their team needs. They made a fraudulent progress. Senior players know all that."
Will the two veterans have a chance to contribute to Lotte's first team this year? No one knows when or what will happen to anyone in the long-term race. Kim Yong-hee, the coach of the second team, stressed that the two are not players who should be in the second team. He said, "The process of preparing for the season is good. It will be better than last year."
