Lotte Han Dong-hee, who receives Kang Jung-ho’s lesson after receiving Lee Dae-ho’s support, “I’m going to the U.S

Lotte’s Han Dong-hee will go on a special training program in the U.S. on Wednesday. The 25-year-old will take a special lesson to prepare for the next season for about 10 days.

He is not alone. He will be accompanied by his role model and senior Lee Dae-ho. Jung Hoon, who is also playing for Lotte, will also be on the same schedule with Han. All expenses will be covered by Lee. “We have to go there, learn well, and do well,” Han said in a telephone conversation. Han had a disappointing year in which he recorded a batting average of 0.223 with five homers and 32 RBIs in 108 games during the 2023 season. 토토사이트 추천

Han Dong-hee, who had high expectations as a “post-Lee Dae-ho” since his debut as a Lotte player in 2018 as the first pick, proved his potential by winning the monthly MVP award with a batting average of 0.427 with seven homers and 22 RBIs in 24 games in April 2022. However, he failed to continue his performance in the 2023 season, drawing concerns.

For Han Dong-hee, Lee Dae-ho rolled up his sleeves. To help Han take a leap forward, Lee suggested working out together in the winter, and decided to move to the U.S. In the U.S., he will meet Kang. Kang, who is playing at his private academy after retirement, once said on his YouTube that he could look after Han Dong-hee. “Since Dae-ho was going to the U.S., we were asked to listen to (Kang) Jung-ho a lot, so we decided to go,” Han said.

Kang Jung-ho’s academy was widely known to KBO league players as well. In particular, Son A-seop of NC Dinosaurs, who won the most batting awards last season, became even more popular as he reportedly found his feel while playing with Kang all winter. Son once said, “It is easier to accept because he explained accurately why we need to train in this direction and why we need to take such a swing mechanism with facts.” Son will also work out at Kang’s academy this year.

Senior players such as Lee Dae-ho and Kang Jung-ho are showing interest in Han Dong-hee because of the possibility. Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung also expressed his special affection for Han Dong-hee in the new season. Han Dong-hee, who is drawing attention from many people, is also trying to gain confidence. “I think I can do better this year than last year. I learned a lot from experience last season. That’s why I need to do better, and I think I can do better,” he said.

Looking back after the end of the season, I had a long slump. “When I had a bad time at the beginning of the season, I think I fell too deeply into it,” Han Dong-hee said. “When I was going to hit hard, I went to the second division and did not follow the situation. First of all, my biggest loss of confidence was the worst.”

Han gradually regained her confidence as she played the closing camp in Sangdong, Gimhae, where the 2nd tier team is located. As a result, she felt confident that she could play baseball offensively. Manager Kim Tae-hyung also gave generous advice to Han, saying, “Be bold and not measure the ball at the plate.” Confidence in yourself is important to Han. Han experienced that confidence when she was feeling well in 2022.

He leaves for the U.S. and tries to find his own again. Han Dong-hee said, “When I talked with Kang Jung-ho a lot about my good things and bad things, I felt that I would definitely have my own.” “I think I can learn something different. If I have good things from what I originally did, I will be confident,” he said.

He has nothing but gratitude for Lee Dae-ho, who has been giving him generous support and advice. Han Dong-hee said, “Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule.” As soon as January 1, 2024, Han made only one wish. “I made a wish, ‘Please let me do well in baseball. Other than that, I have nothing to wish for.” As much as everyone wants to do well, Han Dong-hee is preparing for a promising new season to meet expectations.
