[Tainan (Taiwan) = Reporter Kim Young-rok of Sports Chosun] "I feel like starting over." I forgot all about 2024."

Lotte Giants' Hwang Sung-bin is an Ong Gol-chan player. Always be prepared. Whenever you touch it, it jumps out to the ground as if you were waiting.

He dominated the All-Star Game with his 'Delivering Devil'. Whenever his teammates' home runs were hit, he played a very active role as a dugout 'gatekeeper'.




Now Hwang Sung-bin prepares for a new start. In the two consecutive games against Taiwan's WBC (World Baseball Classic) national team, he proved his changed value by performing two hits, two runs, two walks, and a 50% on-base percentage in six at-bats.

He is always lively inside the ground, but he is a player full of venom and seriousness when he meets outside.

The two hits recorded in the first game were a hit that was lightly pushed and a surprise bunt that was pushed in front of the first baseman. The existing baserunning, bunting, and speed talents remain intact, and they are equipped with contacts, strength, and pioneering plans that they lacked.

If he met coach Lim Hoon last year and woke up to the blow, this winter, he welcomed head coach Cho Won-woo as his new teacher. In addition to the possibility of moving to left field, he also established a survival strategy in center field. I tried to learn instantaneous batting judgment and fast start.

This year, Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung is also concerned about the outfield plan. At first, he thought about a system to fix Yoon Dong-hee as a center fielder.

However, Reyes' defense is not reliable, and Cho Se-jin, who confirmed it with his own eyes, believes it is still too early. They also decided to leave a card that uses Hwang Sung-bin's card more actively. To make the most of Yoon Dong-hee's strength, it is better to put him in right field, and Hwang Sung-bin gives strength in the center field position as it is.




Last year, Hwang Sung-bin showed off his talents. It was mainly because he raised his running talent to the limit. With eight triplets, he ranked second in the entire league after KIA Kim Do-young (10). Along with Ko Seung-min (6), Na Seung-yup and Yoon Dong-hee (4), he showed off his excellent performance.

Hwang Sung-bin "Now I'm going to pass down the ceremony to some extent. I will hand over to younger players. Now it's time to show you more of your focus on baseball."

When asked about this year's goal, he gave a more specific answer in the same conclusion as 'Mahwang'. We want to take it to the next level from last year's 51 stolen bases (3rd) and 83.6% success rate 'Daedo'.

"I will be a player who steals if I need a steal, and when I need a base run that is one base thinner, I will be a player who succeeds in running. When you have to run, no matter how hard your opponent checks you, I will definitely show you a player who runs and survives."
