Lee Ho-joon, manager of the NC Dinos, excluded outfielder Park Gun-woo from the starting lineup before the game against the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes on the 11th. It was a consideration to take a break and empty your head. Recently, his batting condition has not been very good. In the game against Kiwoom in Gocheok on the 10th, he replaced Park Gun-woo in two at-bats.스포츠토토
Of course, the fundamental problem is the sense of hitting. As of before the game on Sunday, Park had a batting average of 0.281 (nine hits in 32 times at bat) in the last 10 games. He had a batting average of 0.326 for the nine consecutive years from 2016 when he became a starting player to last year. Therefore, the bat is not getting hit as usual. Park himself is trying hard to find out why the bat is not working well these days, and he played extra-base hit as he came out earlier than the training schedule on the day.
Lee believes external stress has been added to this. Park Kun-woo has recently been at the center of rumors of a trade deal with the Hanwha Eagles. Believing this season is the right time for the team to win the title, Hanwha has diligently sought to strengthen its capabilities behind the scenes. Rumors have it that Hanwha is aiming for the main midfielder position as it has been steadily seeking to strengthen its outfielders. Hanwha has admitted that it actually tried to pursue a trade, but nothing has been achieved yet. In the process, rumors that Hanwha is aiming for Park Gun-woo have spread to an open fact.
Park Gun-woo is a 17-year veteran who made his professional debut in 2009. Ahead of the 2022 season, he became the first free agent in his career and signed a six-year contract worth a total of 10 billion won with NC. In terms of ransom and skills, it is NC's core strength, but his trade rumors are bound to be restless.
Manager Lee said, "I wish I could relax even for a day (except for starting pitchers). I wanted to relieve my stress. I heard that I couldn't sleep well today as well. You probably know what kind of stress it is. I've been a player, but it's not easy to get stressed out. It keeps shaking. It's a problem that you have to think about even if you don't try to think about it. That's why I did an interview on purpose and talked about it with players. "I wanted them to be organized well in that regard. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but it really bothers me," he said.
U.S. Major League Baseball has trade veto power. Even if a club wants to trade, it cannot proceed as long as the team has veto power over the player. Korea does not have such veto power. If the club decides, it is over. So players can feel more anxious.
"If you really want to leave the team, you won't. You probably do so because you don't want to go because you are attached to the team. Korea doesn't have trade veto power. It is a structure in which players are informed regardless of their opinions," Lee said, understanding how he feels.
As NC is currently in eighth place, it has little leeway. It is an important time for the team to make a leap forward in the mid-ranked team, but Lee wished to renew his commitment by considering Park Kun-woo.
Manager Lee said, "My batting condition is a little bad, and my balance is not good. Even when I was at bat, I could see that he was in a bad condition. He seems to be making special hits himself and thinking a lot during practice. He needs to come back soon. It is not easy for us to play without Park Kun-woo. I hope I can get back to normal soon by controlling my condition," he said with strength.
