It's time for an interview with the away team manager's reporters. As the interview time approached, foreign hitter Austin Dean, who finished training with reporters in the dugout on the third base, greeted the reporters happily as he passed by.
He naturally sat down in the chair of director Yeom Kyung-yeop, who was exchanging a few words to greet him. I ended the interview happily on the spot.
When asked what kind of event he was preparing for the All-Star Game, he said, `I asked the fans for their ideas,' indicating that he would release them on the spot.
He was also determined to be a home run derby. Austin, who had only one homer derby at Sajik Stadium in Busan last year, showed his determination to hit more this year. Austin said, `I'm going to the home run derby again this year due to the fan's vote,' adding, `Last year, the fence at Sajik Stadium was high, so I only hit one, but this year, I think I can hit more than one because it is SSG Landers Field in Incheon," he said with a smile.
While talking, manager Yeom came out to the dugout. Coach Yeom headed to the ground, saying "You interview for me" as Austin sat down.
When reporters asked what the reason for LG's sluggish performance this year, Austin also answered seriously. "The season started early and there were a lot of injured players, and the team tended not to work out well."He analyzed "Recently, our players have been getting better, so we look like last year." It's bad compared to last year, but I still feel like I'm going back to last year."
Recently, attempts to steal bases have also become more frequent. 3 failed attempts to steal 4 times. When asked about Austin's recent failure to steal bases, who has 11 successful and 5 failed attempts to steal 16 times this year, Austin said "It's a player to follow the coach's orders. Even though I'm not a stealer-style player, the coach kept telling me, so I stole 11 bases in an unexpected way. I was surprised, too." Manager Yeom, who was listening in the background, said, `My goal is for Austin to do 20 (homer)-20 (stealing). I want to increase Austin's value.'When he said ", Austin also promised to play 20-20 with the director. I will keep that promise." After the game, he decided to talk about what he couldn't say in an interview with Su-hoon, and he shook his seat and stood up.
