There is a player in the LG Twins who becomes an FA after this season. It's Park Hae-min who is the captain.

Park Hae-min played for the Samsung Lions until the 2021 season and signed a four-year FA contract with the LG Twins in the 2022 season to keep LG's outfield in the middle. LG, which uses Jamsil Stadium, recruited Park Hae-min for the defense of the big outfield, and the result led to its first championship in 29 years in 2023. Park Hae-min's defense, which protects a wide area with fast feet and senses, clearly led to the effect of reducing LG's runs.

It also helped with the batting. He batted .289 in 2022, 165 hits, 97 runs, 24 steals, a batting average of .285 in 2023, 138 hits, 80 runs and 26 steals, and scored a lot of points through LG's fiery hitting through his baserunning ability.




But last year was a shame. It was still over the crisis of losing points dozens of times due to its wide range of defense, but the hit was sluggish. He had a batting average of 263, 127 hits, and 72 runs. The stolen base increased to 43 steals, but the batting average was very disappointing. The number of strikeouts increased significantly from 74 in 2023 to 101 last year. It can be said that he is not adapted to ABS, and it can be said that the ball determined by ABS as a strike is actually a difficult course for Park Hae-min to hit.

Park Hae-min himself made efforts to escape the slump. Park Hae-min, who was sluggish at 217 in July and 213 in August, hit .351 (20 hits in 57 ㅌ) in September, the only monthly batting average to hit .300 or higher.

At the time, Park Hae-min explained why the hit improved, saying, `It seems that the wider stance has made the hit more stable.' Of course, I plan to continue this hit this season.




He even took responsibility for himself. After the 2024 season, he was appointed as the captain of the 2025 season through a team vote, and even though it was a season when he became an FA, he became the captain without hesitation as much as the players selected him.

Park Hae-min said "I feel more responsibility because the players picked me."I once claimed for two seasons at Samsung." I think the experience will be helpful"

Coincidentally, Park Hae-min also claimed in 2021, the year he became an FA during his time at Samsung. As a captain, he tied the team with KT for first place in 2021 and later hit the FA jackpot.




If you raise LG to the desired performance again this time and make a good performance yourself, you can expect another FA hit. Will it be a win-win 2025 season for LG and Park Hae-min.
