The point should not be taken on Lee Jae-won (35). Hanwha has a “complex” judgment. I saw the entire catcher team. It was concluded that Lee Jae-won was needed.
“We didn’t recruit Lee Jae-won to be our first catcher. We judged the result comprehensively. We needed a veteran catcher. Lee Jae-won also said, “I will do my best. We need to compete first.”
Hanwha reported on Friday that it recruited Lee Jae-won. “His annual salary is 50 million won. His minimum salary is 50 million won. He used to be a star in the SSG franchise. Now, he is in the past. He has been sluggish recently. He has played in all 27 games this year. He has a batting average of 0.091.
Eventually, he had to come out of SSG. It was not easy to renew the contract. Lee Jae-won asked for release first. Found a new team outside. Hanwha reached out.
He leaves Incheon for Daejeon. It’s not a huge power plus. No team has high expectations for a released player. Instead, if you use it well, you can upgrade the entire catcher team.
“Choi Jae-hoon is the main player, and there is Park Sang-eon. There are also young catchers such as Jang Kyu-hyun and Heo Gwan-hoe. Heo In-seo will be discharged from the military around July next year. There are many young catchers,” Son said.
“Choi Jae-hoon or Park Sang-eon can get hurt. The catcher to support the back is weak. When Heo In-seo comes, he will let her run a lot. He is a player to raise. Still, I still need time. That’s why I decided I needed a veteran catcher,” he explained.
“I saw Lee Jae-won’s experience and pitcher lead.” Lee Jae-won also said, “I will do my best to die. I have a strong will to do well again. I just don’t give him a seat. We have to compete first.”
He also talked about Park Sang-eon. He had a batting average of 0.200, one home run and 13 RBIs in the 2023 season, and 0.522 OPS. It is not a satisfactory record. Some say that his growth is slow.
There is a solution. It’s a “many games.” This side is not working. This year, it was only in the first division. It is also important to go down to the Futures and play a lot. Lee Jae-won plays a role at this point.
“Park Sang-eon was only in the first division this year. Choi Jae-hoon had to rest to play. It is about once a week. To grow further, he has to play a lot. Playing only in the Futures will help him,” Son said.
“I don’t think that was a good condition. Thanks to Lee Jae-won’s recruitment, Park Sang-eon can be given time. Whether it’s a week or 10 days, if he starts, he can grow further,” he added.
He brought in the player for only 50 million won. His past performance is spectacular. Not now. Rather, it can be “motivation.” If Lee Jae-won recovers his form when he is in good condition, it is a “jackpot.” 헤라카지노
If not, it’s not a big problem. With Lee Jae-won joining, the catcher team will be “tight.” Lee Jae-won can wear a mask while someone builds up his skills. In many ways, it’s a recruitment without anything bad.
