Although he is a veteran who has a wider perspective and deeper perspective

It is another problem to have to wear a new uniform beyond the existing environment. Veteran players are also bound to have questions about their "new house."

Choi Joo-hwan (35), who moved from SSG to Kiwoom as the No. 1 overall pick in the second draft on the 22nd of last month, had to accept the changes that occurred when he met his third professional team as positive as possible while preparing to adapt to the new environment.   토토사이트

He seems to have asked for advice from acquaintances who knew Kiwoom Heroes' culture. Choi Joo-hwan introduced some of the contents in a telephone interview with a reporter on the 1st. "A lot of people said, 'It will be a place where you can play baseball as much as you want,'" he said. "It's hard to say what that is. "It sounded like I should try to spread everything with baseball while keeping the 'basics'," he said.

Choi Joo-hwan was a voice that quickly calmed down. He may have been able to prepare his mind early because he heard that he could be the target just before the second draft was implemented. After Choi Joo-hwan was excluded from the second draft protection list, there were reportedly three to four teams that tried to recruit him as the first priority.

Choi Joo-hwan said, "I'm determined to use it as an opportunity to blessing in disguise." I think the decision was based on the basis of the club (SSG). I tried to think as good as I could," he said.

Choi Joo-hwan is increasingly motivated to prepare for the new season. It's because of the message from Kiwoom that meets him. Choi Joo-hwan felt the team atmosphere that he had only guessed when he went to greet Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki. "The manager said, 'I will create an environment where I can only focus on baseball,'" he said, adding that he was also told about the specific training contents accordingly.

Regardless of the transfer, Choi Joo-hwan started personal training earlier than usual. Choi Joo-hwan has already been working on his personal training (PT) since the 11th of last month. "I will go into technical training while feeling what I have prepared while building my body," he said.

Choi's value in Kiwoom may be much greater than Choi's value in SSG. Kiwoom had a lot of difficulties in opening a breakthrough with its offense as the number of team home runs plummeted last season. He was the lowest overall with 61 team home runs. In the previous season, he managed to survive with 94 home runs (ranking ninth). Team home runs plummeted due to foreign hitter variables.

Choi Joo-hwan is a left-handed hitter with "one shot." He struggled because of the season's batting average (0.235), but tied for sixth in the league with 20 home runs. In Kiwoom, which is thirsty for home runs, each of Choi Joo-hwan's home runs can work bigger.

It can also take a big stake in team-level work to fill the gap of Lee Jung-hoo, who went into posting to advance to the Major League. Along with Choi Joo-hwan, Kiwoom expects the team's batting lineup to rebound next season on new resources such as Lee Ju-hyung, who gave up Choi Won-tae to LG last summer.

Choi Joo-hwan said, "There is nothing special except for more definitely adapting to Gocheok Dome, the home stadium where 72 games are played. I will prepare better with the same mind. I will repay you," he said.
