A surprise guest appeared at the spring camp site of the defending champion KIA Tigers.
I'm Park Chan-ho, the No. 1 Korean Major Leaguer.
Park Chan-ho visited the Irvine Great Park Baseball Complex in California on the morning of the 4th (local time), where KIA Spring Camp is underway.
Park Chan-ho, who spoke with general manager Shim Jae-hak and head coach Lee Bum-ho, followed by watching the training of his juniors pitching in the bullpen.
Park Chan-ho, who carefully watched the pitching of Hwang Dong-ha and Kwak Do-kyu, his junior in Gonggo, gave affectionate advice with a stinging question.
He also showed me how to grip according to the type of pitch.
In an interview with KBC reporters on the day, Park Chan-ho said, "I felt 'power' about the pitching of his juniors."
He said, "I saw two young pitchers throwing, and I felt it was power, and maybe because I was young, I was more powerful."
However, he said, "Power is not necessarily good," adding, "He told me that it is important to know how to use it and know what plans to train with."
"With the development of data analysis technology these days, there are advanced training taught by machines in addition to hitting coaches, so batters are stronger and batters are better at analyzing, so there are baseball games that are very disadvantageous to pitchers, and I don't think so," he stressed.
"No matter how advanced they are, there are certain spots where batters can't hit well or not," he said. "Pitchers accurately check the spots where batters can't hit well and keep throwing them, making it difficult for them to hit (batters). They told us to practice hard balls that can be thrown consistently and accurately. That's why I told them that the most important plan is to train them to throw consistently and accurately."
Regarding Yang Hyeon-jong, he praised him, saying, "He's so cool."
Park Chan-ho said, "I also saw Yang Hyun-jong throw on the mound, and it was really cool to see him saying, 'He's still throwing,' and it was good to see a cute junior, who was very young, doing well as a leader and leading the team to the championship." 메이저사이트
He said the visit to the KIA spring camp was made at the suggestion of coach Lee Bum-ho.
Park Chan-ho said, "I had a phone call with coach Lee Bum-ho to celebrate the victory last winter, saying that we will have camp this year near LA, and I asked him to come if he had time," and added, "I'm busy working on various things these days, but I missed him, so I came because I wanted to see which team won last year."
KIA, who won its 12th integrated championship last season, said, "I feel relaxed."
"Maybe that's why head coach Lee Bum-ho's style is so relaxed," he said. "More teams have probably changed in a systematic way, and training programs have been diversified and developed in each training method and field, so you've changed a lot these days, and it was fun to see Korea change a lot."
