“He is a hitter who needs to play clean-up rather than a table setter. I hope he develops into the style of a No. 3 hitter.”
This is coach Kim Tae-hyung’s intention toward Lotte Giants Ko Seung-min (24).
It is receiving intensive attention from Lotte fans this winter. This is because he, who played right field and first base in the first team, is trying again to play second base, the position he played at the time of his debut. The gap left by the transfer of veteran Ahn Chi-hong (Hanwha) must be filled in both offense and defense.
Since joining the team in the second first round in 2019, he has been considered a 'confident batting prospect'. He is a man with the fastest batting speed in the league, and is also a talent proven as a .400 hitter in the second half of 2022 (batting average: .401 1/4).
But he encountered an unexpected twist. Last year, a year after he became a starter, he sank with a batting average of .202 and 4.0% and an OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.651. The right fielder's position has already been taken over by rookie Yoon Dong-hee (21). He moved from right field to first base and then back to second base.
Thanks to this, his motivation flared up. He has been beating himself up by staying in Busan all winter. Every day is full of exercise, from PT to skill training and gym.
