Just a year ago, I went to the Korean Series, and immediately came in last place.
The 2024 season has to change. However, Lee Jung-hoo (25) is absent. Coach Hong Won-ki’s “Night Night” continues.
Manager Hong Won-ki said, “Honestly, I can’t sleep these days. Congratulations on Lee Jung-hoo’s contract. I feel good, too. I will cheer for you. Instead, my team and I have a lot to do. I have a headache.”
“Players are training at Gocheok and Goyang. I also come to the ballpark every day. I keep having interviews with the players. We want to become one and go in the same direction. The players should also be free from confusion,” he added.
“We are the last in the 2023 season. We need to change. The players must have had a hard time, too. Off-season is not the problem. We will continue to meet players. There is no Lee Jung-hoo. We need to prepare well for next season.”
Lee Jung-hoo, who commanded the KBO League, became eligible for posting after the 2023 season. Many teams have shown interest in the posting. The team also had a jackpot of 113 million U.S. dollars for six years with San Francisco. Only physical examination is left. It seems safe to say that it is actually a final decision.
At the same time, Kiwoom officially loses Lee Jung-hoo. The best hitter in the team disappears. He is the MVP of the 2022 regular season. Although he was away early in 2023 due to injury, he hit .318 with six home runs and 45 RBIs, and posted an OPS of 0.861 in 86 games. Now the KBO League is graduating.
The fire has fallen on the back of the foot. Even without Lee Jung-hoo, the season has to be played. Few players in the league can completely replace Lee Jung-hoo. This is even more so in the team.
It is not without players. Lim Byung-wook, who has a lot of experience in the first team, is not completely explosive. He has talent. There was a little disappointment. It is not an exaggeration to say that Lee Jung-hoo’s departure gave him a chance.
Lee Ju-hyung, the “second Lee Jung-hoo,” was acquired through a trade. He hit 0.326 with six homers and 36 RBIs and recorded an OPS of 0.897 in 69 games this season. The fans’ expectations are sky high. The team also has high expectations.
He also renewed his contract with Ronnie Dawson, who came in as a substitute during the season and showed good performance. Dawson posted a batting average of 0.336, three homers and 29 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.852 in 57 games.
So far, it’s good. Whoever it is, it’s best to settle down. Furthermore, Kiwoom has to set up a team again. It’s already been a tough season, but even a huge puzzle is missing. You can feel like you’re losing.
Only when we set our minds together can we look up for the 2024 season. We need to set the overall framework well. Coach Hong Won-ki is also busy. He is trying to consolidate the team’s efforts first.토토사이트 순위
