“I don’t like it yet” The resolution of the 2nd year shortstop, ‘commander’ is growing
“It’s still a long way off.”
I am now in my second year of high school. I am 20 years old. However, he confidently plays as the main shortstop. The ‘infield commander’ is growing rapidly. Samsung Lee Jae-hyeon (20) is the main character. Lee Jae-hyun himself is not satisfied.메이저사이트
Jae-Hyun Lee participated in all 44 games of the team this season and has a batting average of 0.220, 3 homers, 15 RBIs, 17 points, an on-base percentage of 0.289, a slugging percentage of 0.320, and an OPS of 0.609.
He’s not a colossal figure. He should look at the defensive position instead. He’s a shortstop. He is the most demanding defensive position. It is also a position where he has to lead the entire infield. He looks good in this spot. It was said to be the future of the Samsung infield, but it immediately became the ‘present’.
From now on, it is Park Jin-man, a former ‘national shortstop’. He has no choice but to have a high standard of defense. However, Lee Jae-hyeon is used as a built-in shortstop. It means becoming a skill. He has room to get better. He is also receiving a lot of love from fans.
However, Lee Jae-hyun himself is not satisfied. He desperately wants to do better. “I don’t think I’m a starter yet. It was far. I have to do better,” he said, burning his determination.

I came to Samsung after receiving the first nomination last year. He got a taste of the pros by appearing in 75 games in his first season. He has been playing consistently since the start of this season.
Lee Jae-hyun said, “It seems to be more comfortable than last year. But still. There are too many missing parts. I don’t want to make a mistake. Basic things should be 100% taken care of. There is a mistake here,” he pointed out.
He continued, “You may not be able to catch difficult balls, but you have to handle the balls you need to catch. there is a mistake it’s a shame. You have to do the basics well. That way, even difficult hits can be handled.”
In addition, “I did a lot of repetitive training during the camp. Even if you don’t think about it in a game, you seem to react when a ball comes in. It’s definitely different from when I was in high school. He didn’t do repeat drills in defense. It has definitely changed,” he said.
When he said that he was ‘the main shortstop’, he threw up his hands. “still quite lacking. It’s good that he keeps going to the game. he is grateful seems to enjoy it He doesn’t think he’s settled in yet. We have to do better. He doesn’t think he’s a regular. He is just grateful to be playing.”

He also shows his mature side. different from last year “I feel a little more at ease. I think I felt a little more comfortable after leaving the game. I feel like I’m sticking to my routine well before the game. I exercise regularly, and I feel better mentally,” he explained.
“Last year, I paid a lot of attention to each game, but not this year. I play 6 games a week. Even if I can’t do it for a day, I try to forget it quickly. I am learning a lot from the coaches and seniors. If you keep putting things that you couldn’t do, it keeps getting worse,” he added.
He also has an attack power. “The director said, ‘You seem to be using only your upper body. It would be nice to use the lower body together,’ he said. He also told me how. I am practicing like that. It doesn’t come out well in the game, but I’m continuing training.”
He continued, “By using the lower body, the ball is more powerful, and the direction of the ball goes evenly. I don’t think it’s going well yet, but I’m still training. Now is the starting stage. I will keep trying. The coaches tell me to ‘make it comfortable’. Working hard comes first.”
Born in 2003, the road ahead is bright. He also has prudence and maturity. He has been a ‘large shortstop’ since high school, and is showing his presence in the pros as well. He only needs to get better.
