& # 39; Baseball Defense & # 39; from Hanwha

"I can not say that it's hard, I have to do everything I can."

Jang Geun-woo (36), a "veteran" of professional baseball Hanwha Eagles, is training hard for the arduous heat of these days. This was not the second position that was the original position. At the beginning of July, he worked hard to train in the left field, but he went on to practice the first goal in 25th place. On 27, he was selected as the first hitter and first baseman in the away match against the Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul.

Han Yong-duk, Hanwha coach, announced that "Jung Gun-woo will play the first base today" before the match. The reason is as follows. A coach said, "Lee Seung-yeol, who first watched the first base for physical strength, was designated as the designated hitter.

Jung Keun-woo never played first baseball in the life of baseball. It was an incredible transformation. "It's not as difficult as coaching players out of the field," he said, "there's a lot of similarity in managing the blues, turning them in the same direction as the second baseman.

A director, Jung Keun-woo, feared that his feet were on the first base and that his body was stretched over it. He said: "I do not want the ball to come because the big one (1m72cm) is small, I hope that the beasts will throw me well and throw me well.

Jung Gun-woo's first defense was more than expected. It was impressive that we came out of the first base by getting a miss from Doosan Oh Jae-won to the 2nd rank of the runners of the 4th runners. The ball that reached the height was tense and well received. On the 19th, he was better than the left fielder on the KT Wiz field. A trainer praised "Jeong Keun-woo was also Jeong Keun-woo, he was very good in defense."

With that, Jung Keun-woo entered the career in 2005, and he will be able to defend his indoor and outdoor field defense at 14 seasons until this year. At the start of the SK Wyverns, he played mainly at third base. He also played at second base and often played at the shortstop. Then, after wearing Hanhwa's uniform in FA (free contract) in 2014, the defensive movement began. He was in the center in 2015 and played in the left field and first base this year. He was a "master of the defense".

Jung Keun Woo was a second-scoring player recognized by the world beyond the KBO league. It was the second baseball (2006 · 2009 · 2013) of the regular gold glove in the middle and mid-twenties. He led the Olympic gold medal in 2008 and the vice champion of the World Baseball Clbadic (WBC) in 2009 with a nice second base.

But he could not stop years. This year, the speed of response has decreased and the scope of the defense has shrunk. In May, I missed an incredible mistake, like missing an easy battle. Finally, in early May, I was informed of the second military sentence. Jung Eun-won (18) and Kang Kyung-hak (26), who came to the pro this year instead of Jung Gun-woo, played second. Jung Keun-woo returned in mid-May, but his position narrowed when he was expelled from the second base. To make matters worse, in June, the thigh pain left for 40 days.

Jang Keun-woo, who was picked up on the 19th, was either a left fielder or a first baseman. Han said, "Now, Jeong Keun-woo will be responsible for the first baseman or the outfielder, and the second baseman is responsible for the hardball. In fact, the second basemen of Jung Gun-woo's game was actually close.

However, Jung Keun-woo is very kind. The face was overwhelmed by a clumsy formation of first goal. He chuckled and said, "This is not difficult, do not say that it is difficult, you should do everything you can. "I am very happy that my juniors have grown up well and I will make a contribution to my team," he said.

One day a coach called Jeong Keun-woo after a long period of trouble before asking, "Can you play first base? "I do not hesitate a second," replied Yes. He was a true veteran who could sacrifice for his team.
