Famine KBO Catcher Phenomenon Revealed in All-Star Game

[OSEN=이상학 기자] The six players will participate in the All-Star Game, three per team. In addition to the 12 best catchers, two people are invited to the star party by a backup. There are three entries in the table because of their high physical strength.

Six catchers, more than half of the 10 teams each year, participate in the all-star game, so the lowest entry threshold is the lowest. Given this positionality, the receiver's competitiveness in the all-star game this year shows the starvation of the receiver in the league.

Lee Jae-won (SK) Na Jong-deok (Lotte) was named best manager of the Dream All Star, Yang Yangji (Doosan) There was controversy about the selection of Na Jong Deok, the second year rookie. It's the first time that he's been a major catcher for Lotte this year, but his batting average of 78 games was 13.32, 21 hits, 1 homerun, 9 RBIs, 5 walks and 76 strikeouts.

Na-Jong-deok himself said, "I should have been good grades, but I do not feel like a star because I did well, so I'm not happy." However, the Dream All-Star seekers are not in good physical condition, Na Jong-duk has an impressive margin of 3 "9", but his batting performance was not enough for him as an all-star He was a substitute for the all-star game, but he came back in the match with two strikeouts.

Yoo Gang-nam (LG) in the All-Star match showed his presence by beating 2 shots for However, Kim Min-sik (KIA) coach Choi Jae-hoon (Hanhwa), who has become a player recommended by the manager, is not doing well this season. I attended the All-Star Game for the second year in a row, but I was recognized as last year.

Kim Min-sik has 68 homeruns .264 with 4 homers, 28 points with a penalty of 1.49 and Choi Jae-hoon with 76 batters in 76 games He stopped .. I do not want to go to the All-Star, but if you look at the others didats, there is no receiver to beat them.

Receiver famine is serious throughout the league. With the exception of Doosan (Yang Ji-pyo, Se-hyuk Park), LG (Yoo Gangnam and Nihongho) and Samsung (Kang Min Ho and Lee Ji-young) NC, in particular, is in the middle of the base Kim Tae-gun's military and kept his club for the rest of the season without a major take, and Lotte leans toward the growth of Na Jong-duk. Nexen, too, has made Kim Jae-hyun and Ju-Hyang Sang after being arrested for badual badault, but he is less competitive than the other top teams.

Captive teams try to trade under water, but it is not easy. This is because the value of the receiver in the market has increased. Young catchers are slow to grow, and the era of starvation of the receivers has arrived. /[email protected]
