Most players with lower annual leave have a chance. In spring camps, players with lower annual leave train relatively more. MVP is usually awarded to players who have followed coaching staff's intensive training without any harsh words.
Kiwoom came back from spring camp on the 6th. Kiwoom also announced its camp MVP.
But there was a name that didn't go well with it. 토토사이트
Pitcher Ha Young-min, who has already entered his 11th year, was selected.
Ha Young-min graduated from Gwangju Soochang Elementary School, Jinheung Middle School, and Jinheung High School and joined the team as the fourth in the second round. As you can see from the order of nominations, Ha Young-min joined the team with high expectations.
He once made impressive throws. However, he was not consistent. There were various reasons, but he only took the mound in the first division in seven seasons out of the past 10 years. He played only 178 games over the past 10 years.
Ha Young-min was named MVP in the 11th spring camp. It is very unusual.
What made Ha Young-min become the camp MVP at a rather late age.
Hints could be found in coach Hong Won-ki's feelings at the end of the camp.
"Not only the players but also the coaching staff and on-site staff members prepared well during the winter, and fulfilled their roles during the camp, so we were able to complete the entire schedule smoothly," Hong said. "All of them did a great job."
"I emphasized professional consciousness during the meeting with the players after the end of the last season. I was asked to have a professional attitude, such as consciousness and behavior that professional players have to observe, not only in the stadium but also in their daily lives, and I am most satisfied with the fact that they have practiced this during the camp," he said.
Kiwoom is considered the last candidate this season.
Lee Jung-hoo left for the Major League and Ahn Woo-jin joined the military. Veteran bullpen pitcher Lim Chang-min became an FA and wore a Samsung uniform.
There is no significant reinforcement. Watchers say the team is lagging behind other teams in absolute power.
This is why Hong emphasized his attitude as a professional. He urged people to find and train on their own and set an example of a professional in their daily lives, not because someone asked him to do so.
And Ha Young-min caught my eye.
A player who has spent a long time wandering. It has been less than a few years since Ha Young-min has grown into the team's actual strength, although he has been in the position of a new senior.
In Kiwoom, Ha Young-min's presence has become very important. Since both starters and bullpens are possible pitchers, they are bound to be highly utilized.
Hong apparently wanted to help Ha Young-min keep up with his spirit. He gave him the honor of becoming the MVP of the camp in his 11th year as a professional player, and gave him encouragement without saying a word.
Meanwhile, Kiwoom completed spring camps in Arizona and Kaohsiung, Taiwan. After completing spring camps in Arizona and Kaohsiung from January 29 to March 5 (Tue), Kiwoom will return to Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 via CI164 (Chinese Air) at 11:05 a.m. on Wednesday.
During the Arizona Spring Camp in the U.S., the Kiwoom team conducted training focusing on basic training and conditioning. At Kaohsiung, Taiwan, the site of the second camp, the team had exercise matches to adjust sense of actual games. The team had six practice matches with the Zhongxin Brothers and the Tunging Lions of Taiwan professional baseball, recording three wins and three losses.
Coach Hong Won-ki said, "In addition to training, we shared the direction of the team through various educational programs conducted during the camp and strengthened our teamwork, and once again awakened the importance of mental and routine management."
Ha Young-min and Joo Sung-won were named as camp MVPs. "We chose pitcher Ha Young-min and outfielder Joo Sung-won, who showed good performance in training and active participation in training," manager Hong Won-ki said. "The two players have improved to a higher level not only in improving their skills but also in maintaining their bodies and practicing their routines."
Lastly, he said, "Based on the training results during the camp, we will conduct a final inspection during the exhibition game. I will make the season operation plan more concrete by choosing and focusing on it. I will prepare well for the rest of the season before the season opens."
Kiwoom's team will take a break on the 7th (Thursday), the day after returning home, and train at Goyang National Baseball Training Center on the 8th (Friday), before meeting the Doosan Bears as their first opponent in an exhibition game at Icheon Bears Park at 1 p.m. on the 9th (Saturday).
