‘Broadcaster’ Lee Dae-ho called Han Dong-hee… “Let’s train together for a month”
Worst season with a batting average of 0.223 and 5 home runs... Commitment to comeback under coach Kim Tae-hyung
Batting average of 0.223 (71 hits in 319 at-bats), 5 home runs, 32 RBI, OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.583.
This is the 2023 season report card of Han Dong-hee (24), who has been attracting attention as a candidate to grow into a young hitter representing the Korean Professional Baseball KBO League beyond the Lotte Giants. 토토사이트
Han Dong-hee, who has gone through the most difficult season since his debut, dreams of taking flight in the 2024 season with new coach Kim Tae-hyung (55).
Han Dong-hee, who met at Sangdong Stadium in Gimhae on the 25th when Lotte's finishing training was held, said, "It was very difficult this year, but I think we can do better in the future than this year.
I have learned a lot."
He, who thought more about baseball and learned how to control his own mind, spends the winter with Lee Dae-ho (41), a senior at Gyeongnam High School.
Lee Dae-ho, who is living a second life as a broadcaster after retirement, never gave up on baseball even though he was busy.
Han Dong-hee introduced, "My senior called me first and asked me to train together this winter.
If time allows, I will go abroad for about a month, and if not, I will train in Busan."
He volunteered to provide private lessons to juniors who had been in a slump throughout the season.
Han Dong-hee expressed his gratitude, saying, "I should have done better after my senior retired, but I am sorry for not being able to do so. He
always taught me a lot, and he knows me well and our styles are similar.
That's why I follow my senior more."
For Lotte, which has struggled this season due to a lack of slugging power, the revival of Han Dong-hee is an essential task.
Maybe that's why coach Kim Tae-hyung stroked Han Dong-hee's cheek while shaking hands with the entire team that day.
Coach Kim expressed his expectations, saying, “It must have been a lot of emotional distress, but if you think, ‘I’ll do better next year than this year,’ I think we’ll get good results.”
Han Dong-hee said with a shy smile, "I think he meant to tell me to do better," and said, "I also wanted to work with him because he is such an amazing director.
I feel like I can learn more and become stronger."
When Coach Kim Tae-hyung took the microphone as a commentator this year, he expressed his affectionate expectations and regrets for Han Dong-hee.
Han Dong-hee said, “I have often greeted you since I was a commentator,” and added, “I have greater expectations than nervousness about director Kim Tae-hyung.”
