“Hyeon-hee Han is selected? We have to wait and see.” Legend coach welcomes unexpected gift… Tension ↑

“The club gave me another gift!”

A voice full of laughter, Bae Young-soo, pitching coach of the Lotte Giants, raised his hands to welcome the recruitment of free agency Han Hyun-hee (30).

He is the last A-class free agent pitcher left on the market. Lotte signed with Han Hyun-hee for a contract period of 3+1 years, a total of 4 billion won (down payment of 300 million won, guarantee of 1.5 billion won).

He played in 416 career games (116 starts) and recorded 65 wins, 105 holds and 8 saves. He is an experienced pitcher in both the starter and bullpen. Although he has been somewhat sluggish lately, his career earned run average is also 4.26. Above all, being born in 1993 is of great value.

As coach Bae, who is about to start his first season at Lotte, his stomach is well deserved. Previously, catcher Yoo Kang-nam and infielder Roh Jin-hyeok were recruited as free agents to ease the burden on the pitching staff, and veteran pitchers such as Shin Jeong-rak, Kim Sang-su, Yoon Myung-joon, and Cha Woo-chan were gathered. Here, the powerful name value of Han Hyun-hee was added.

Literally, the resignation is heating up ahead of the new season. Excitement and tension enveloped not only the pitching staff but also the entire team. The club added Han Hyun-hee to the free agency press conference scheduled for the 19th between Noh Jin-hyeok and Yoo Kang-nam.

The total amount is 4 billion won, but the guaranteed amount is only 1.8 billion won. As a starter, Han Hyun-hee must consistently perform well for 3 years to obtain the option, annual salary, and opt-out (FA declaration) rights given in the 4th year. This is Han Hyun-hee, who has been preparing for a turning point in her life by losing 9kg this winter. She even got married in early January, and Busan is also her hometown Han Hyun-hee. With an annual salary of 1.8 billion won for three years, she seems to be dreaming of restoring her elite self-esteem. 메이저사이트

To do so, selection sortie is essential, but the competition is not formidable. Lotte’s starting lineup is composed of rookies such as Lee In-bok, Na Gyun-an, Seo Jun-won, Kim Jin-wook, and Lee Min-seok, who showed impressive performances in the 4th and 5th selections last year. Here, the heavy presence of Han Hyun-hee was added.

Coach Bae emphasized, “The only confirmed starting pitchers are Strayley, Barnes, and Park Se-woong. Of course, (Han Hyun-hee) must also compete.” Even so, satisfaction overflowed in her voice, saying, “She keeps piling up gifts, so it’s burdensome.” “Isn’t it a reasonable choice that satisfies the players, the team, and the fans,” she said of the option contract, with a laugh.

“Compared to the first half of last year, my pitching in the second half was really good. Of course, I want to be selected, but there is no bloodless entry in my dictionary. I will go through fierce competition in the camp.
