Kim Hye-sung, who entered the U.S., left after winning the Golden Glove, the second baseman of the KBO, for three consecutive years. This year's Golden Glove, the second baseman, will definitely have a new face.바카라사이트

Will LG Twins infielder Shin Min-jae also be a contender for the Golden Glove competition? Manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "I am one of the top three second basemen in the league."

Shin Min-jae, who joined Doosan Bears as a nurturing player in 2015 and transferred to LG through the second draft in 2019, has jumped from a pinch runner role in the 2023 season to a starting second baseman. He played in 128 games last year and recorded a batting average of 297 (115 hits in 387) with 40 RBIs, 78 runs scored, 32 steals, and an on-base percentage of .401 and OPS of .758, and has grown into an indispensable player at LG. Due to minor injuries at the end of the season, his batting average of .300 was eliminated.

Shin Min-jae played for the Premier 12 national team in November last year, and although the off-season was shorter than others, he also had experience in international competitions. Shin Min-jae, who met at the Arizona Spring Camp in the U.S., said, "I went to the Premier 12 and played baseball for about a month more than the previous year, and when I worked out at the camp, I think playing baseball for about a month makes me feel and my pace come up a little faster and I'm ready."

"Playing in the national team doesn't put much physical pressure on me because I haven't rested much during the off-season," Shin said. "I thought I would take a month and a half off after the season, and it was fun to play baseball in the national team with players who are good at it. I hit other foreign players' balls, and it definitely helped me and it was good."

It was noted that Jung Soo-sung, the running coach, used drones and other equipment in the spring camp to measure and guide detailed data on the players' stolen bases and running bases.

Shin Min-jae said, "Now I'm just checking and checking, but when I'm a little tired in the second half of the season or when I'm physically struggling, I'll be able to see how much difference there is between the game video and the posture and data in the video now." He added, "I'm not playing 100% right now, but I'll be able to check the figures and compare them with the actual game."

At the first camp in Arizona, Shin attempted to steal second base, and succeeded. He rarely stole second base in the game.

After the game, Shin Min-jae said, "I don't think I stole in the game against Cheongbaek, but I've never seen a pitcher on the mound before. Coen threw it to check the seconds and tried to run to see if my condition started well. Coach Jung Soo-sung said before the game that he can run if he wants to, so I don't have to run if he knows a pitcher, but he's a new pitcher and he's not used to it, so I wanted to run. It was better than I thought."

Koen Win from Australia was invited to the LG spring camp and tested ahead of the introduction of the Asian quarter system next year. Shin Min-jae was satisfied, saying, "Jooheon was a catcher, and he threw well, so it was good because I thought the timing came out that I would live or die like a real game."

When asked about his goals for this season and what he focuses on, Shin said, "I want to play in more games than the record. I want to play in the second half of 130 games. I want to play in the second half of 130 games. That's because playing in the game itself doesn't hurt much and I think I can play in a perfect season based on my standards without getting hurt."

Last year, Shin started 114 games and played 984 innings as second baseman. "If my wrist hadn't hurt at the end of last year's season, I could have played 1,000 innings," Shin said. "I think I can do it if I don't do well and leave the problem without getting sick. I had some regrets about my injury last year, so I want to prepare better and play 1,000 innings this year."

If he plays in nearly 140 games and has an on-base percentage of .40 and a batting average of over .300 in 1,000 innings, he will be a candidate for the Golden Glove. "I think I need to think about that after the season is over. I want to do well until the end, and I want to win the title once more than the Golden Glove," Shin said with a smile.

Shin Min-jae said he would prepare for the opening of the season by playing a practice game at the second camp in Okinawa, Japan, and an exhibition game in Korea.
