"Even Park Hae Min who is good at defense can make mistakes."

Kiwoom Heroes head coach Hong Won-ki covered Jang Jae-young, a student who made a rare defensive mistake.

Ahead of the Hanwha Eagles match at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 10th, Hong said, `Even Park Hae-min (LG) who is good at defense makes mistakes. A momentary misjudgment can come from any player. "

The situation was like this. The match against Hanwha on the 9th. After two outs in the top of the first inning, Hanwha Peraza hit a fly to center field. A ball that floats high, but needs to be handled easily. However, center fielder Jang Jae-young started running forward recklessly as if he missed the ball. But the ball fell a long time later.

A game between the Kiwoom Heroes and the LG Twins at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 3rd. Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki, who won, is delighted. Gocheok = Reporter Park Jae-man pjm@sportschosun.com /2024.07.03/

I can understand. Jang Jae-young was a pitcher until just a few months ago. He announced his switch to a batter in a surprise move due to elbow injuries and sluggishness during the season. He was also an infielder in high school. It has not been long since he turned outfield, so it is not easy to show 100% of his ability in defense. On top of that, Gocheok Dome is the only dome stadium in Korea, and there is a white cloth on the ceiling, so even players who are good at defense are having a hard time handling the fly ball.

Still, such an easy mistake is not acceptable for a professional player. In the aftermath of this error, Furado allowed the first run. Kiwoom won the game from behind, but if this loss led to a loss, it could have been a fatal hit for Kiwoom.

Coach Hong said, `Jang Jae-young is a player we use based on the future. Of course, I can't guarantee how long the opportunity will go now, but I'm going to let you gain experience to the point we think. You have to fail, too. Yesterday's mistake was a mistake that could have been made" wrapped around it.
