SSG Landers infielder Eui-san Jeon (23), who has taken off the label of a promising player for 10 years and has established himself as a decent first-team member, vowed to achieve a higher goal this season.

Jeon Eui-san, who joined SK Wyverns (predecessor of SSG) in 2020, stayed only in the 2nd group for a while and did not see the light.

Then, in June of last year, the team’s foreign hitter, Kevin Cron, fell into a slump and received an opportunity. Jeon Eui-san did not miss the hard-earned opportunity.

However, in the second half, the left pitcher’s weakness was exposed and he struggled. Especially in defense, mistakes often came out and he lowered his head. Eventually, in 2022, the rookie of the year went to Jeong Cheol-won (Doosan Bears).

It must have been regrettable for Jeon Ui-san, who had a good pace in the first half. However, he acknowledged his lack of skills 카지노and predicted a better performance in the new season.

Jeon Eui-san is constantly moving to hit better quality balls at this camp. In particular, he is receiving a lot of help from his senior Choi Joo-hwan.

He said, “(Choi) Joo-hwan shares the secrets of batting. Also, mentally, he gives a lot of advice, which is helpful.” mentioned

He continued, “We are working hard on defense training as well as hitting. If a mistake in defense occurs, it affects the turn at bat, so training is essential.” “I am trying to improve by watching defense videos with senior Joo-hwan and listening to the coach’s advice. . I also learned Pilates for core exercise,” he emphasized.

Jeon Eui-san, who said that more people are recognizing Incheon than before, said, “I want to complete this year while keeping my first team position from start to finish. My goal is to hit 20 homers while playing full-time.” I will do my best to repay the team that gives me many opportunities.”
