Hwang Jae-kyun (38, KT), a "big-name FA" worth 6 billion won, has been pushed back as a backup.온라인바카라
KT coach Lee Kang-chul has decided to nurture new talent in the next year and the year after next. Lee said he made the decision with his eyes closed. During the training camp, Hwang competed with shortstop for second base, but he will play as a candidate for first and third base in the future.
Hwang Jae-gyun started to lose ground in the Stove League. He has been the undisputed third baseman of KT. Hwang signed two massive free agency contracts with KT in 2018 and 6 billion won (6.37 million U.S. dollars) for four years and 6 billion won (6.37 million dollars) in 2022. He is also a key member of KT's first championship in 2021. However, his role has become ambiguous as KT recruited third baseman Huh Kyung-min (35) for four years and 4 billion won (3.75 million dollars) in this Stove League.
Manager Lee Kang-cheol also planned to use Hwang as an infield utility first. Hwang was originally a shortstop, so it is not difficult to adapt to the second base. Since he served as third baseman for a long time, it is easier to hit first base. He even underwent outfield training in the spring camp.
This has resulted in unexpectedly positive effects. It had the catfish effect, in which existing infield resources were on high alert. The competitiveness of Kwon Dong-jin (27), Yoon Joon-hyuk (24), Chun Sung-ho (28) and Oh Yoon-seok (33), who competed with the shortstop in the second baseman position, has increased significantly. Coach Lee Kang-cheol said, "It is natural that we want to give young players who work hard to improve their performance. Kwon and Yoon are highly valuable because they are fast learners.
Coach Lee Kang-chul stressed that we need to prepare for the future together, although we need to take care of it now. "Performance is important right now, but then a year goes by. It ends with nothing left. If only veterans use it and they leave, they have to start from scratch. I saw such teams, and I felt like I was doing the same," Lee said.
Manager Lee said, "If I go out here or there, I don't think I can do this or that. I think it would be better to give him a position that he is good at. So now, my friends from the bottom are having fun, too. I don't know where he is and he can do it, so I decided to let him do it for me."
Coach Lee Kang-chul has already produced such good pitchers on the mound. Park Young-hyun, the closing pitcher of the national team level, is the best example. Expectations are high on Won Sang-hyun this season. "The reason why pitchers always come out one by one in our team is that if we have full-time players (in the first team) for a year, we can see a clear growth in our second year," Lee said. "That's how fielders should go. We should nurture them. Everyone is doing their best, but if they don't get a chance, their hopes will be dashed."
As the average age becomes younger, dynamic game management is possible. Coach Lee Kang-chul said, "It was fun because (Kwon) Dong-jin or (Yoon) Jun-hyuk are running. While doing that, the team color should gradually change. We should close our eyes and use it. If we play 70 to 80 games together in a season, we will grow a lot."
