Both the home run king who threw the most balls over the fence last season and the road that bothered the opponent team's battery with fast feet are sweating profusely. This is the story of players from 10 professional baseball teams who are training in warm countries to avoid freezing to fly higher and further away this fall. The spring camps of each club in the U.S., Australia and Taiwan are also a time when "reduced" and "increased" groups are mixed depending on the purpose.토토사이트
Hwang Sung-bin (28, Lotte Giants), who seemed to have nowhere else to lose, joined Taiwan's Tainan camp on April 24 after losing about 5 kilograms from 76 kilograms. He has emerged as the No. 1 leadoff (No. 1 hitter) with a batting average of 0.320, four homers, 26 RBIs and 51 steals in 125 games last season. He believes that he needs to build a lighter body in order to show his best skills without injury.
Matt Davison (34, NC Dinos), who ranked second in home run and RBI by swinging 46 home runs and 119 RBIs last season, also lost 5kg. Davison, who joined the Arizona camp on the 1st, said, "I lost weight to show aggressive performance at bat and on base next season."
The player who has lost the most is Hwang Jae-gyun (38, kt Wiz), who marks the 20th year since his debut as a professional player. He has lost 13 kilograms since the end of last season, maintaining around 87 kilograms. The fact that a veteran who has played for the national team for a long time and has experienced the U.S. big league has lost the most weight proves that he is preparing for the new season with such earnestness. Hwang Jae-gyun will have to leave the "hot corner," which is familiar with the addition of Hur Kyung-min (35), a built-in third baseman of the Doosan Bears, to compete for the second and shortstop position. In addition, Noh Si-hwan (25), the fourth batter of the Hanwha Eagles, and Choi Jae-hoon (36), the main catcher, lost about 10 kilograms to prevent injury.
Some players are paying more attention to eating to increase their intake. They have chosen Bulk Up, which maximizes strength by exercising muscle strength while increasing the amount of protein-oriented meals. Ryu Hyun-jin (38) of the Hanwha Eagles who joined the Melbourne camp after going through mini-camp in Okinawa, Japan, with several of his juniors, said to Hwang Jun-seo (20), who is entering his second year of camp, "I need to gain weight (to increase my speed). I need to eat until I have a hard time." Hwang is 187 centimeters tall and weighs 78 kilograms, and Ryu, who is 4 centimeters taller than Hwang, weighs nearly 120 kilograms.
Pitcher Kim Gun-woo (23, SSG Landers), who lost muscle after losing exercise due to injury while serving in the Armed Forces Sports Unit (Sangju) last year, has built a solid body again by weighing about 7kg until joining the spring camp. Lotte's fielders Yoon Dong-hee (22, 85kg) and Na Seung-yeop (23, 82kg) are also building their physique to add strength to their batting.
