Lotte Giants outfielder Ahn Kwon-soo is hot.
Ahn Kwon-soo started as center fielder in the exhibition match against Samsung held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 20th and hit 4 hits in 4 at-bats. As the lead batter in the first inning, Ahn Kwon-soo, who pulled off Baek Jung-hyeon’s changeup and got a right-handed hit, stepped on the home run when Jeon Jun-woo’s two-run home run. He also took the lead in the third inning and created a chance by connecting Baek Jung-hyun’s fastball with a heavy hit. In the 5th inning, with 1 out and 1 base, he pushed Moon Yong-ik’s slider and scored a left-handed hit. In the 7th inning, left-hander Lee Sang-min’s fastball was pulled from 1 out and 1 base, and a right-handed hit created a chance for 1st and 3rd base.
The fan-shaped batting method, which was blown evenly in all directions of the outfield, regardless of the type of pitch of the opponent’s pitcher, stood out.
In 7 demonstration games, 9 hits in 13 at-bats, his batting average reached a whopping 69%. The fact that he comfortably receives the ball in a more stable setup than last year predicts that it is not a flashy performance.
Commentator Park Jae-hong, who relayed the broadcast, also praised, saying, “They catch and hit the ball in a comfortable and well-prepared state. The timing is so good.”
Ahn Kwon-su, who wore a Lotte uniform after being excluded from the list of reserved players after an agreement with Doosan due to military service issues, is a player living a baseball life like honeysuckle.
After failing to be nominated as a professional as a third-generation Korean-Japanese, he played an active part in the Japanese independent league and joined Doosan in 2020 with the 99th rank in the 10th round of the 2nd nomination for a rookie after a tryout. Ahn Kwon-soo, who had been active for three years, was removed from the reserve list under an agreement with Doosan due to military service issues. Lotte, which needed a center fielder, recruited him for a one-year time limit under the authoritative interpretation that ‘2023 can run’.
Ahn Kwon-soo is performing beyond expectations and clearing the lead-off and center field worries. At his current pace, he could put Lotte in another trouble after the season. 토토사이트
The home country’s professional baseball stage, which may be the last season. With an active performance without regret, the role of a catalyst to heat up Busan in ‘Gudo’ was given. He is a player with the talent and mind to do well enough.
