Choi Ik-sung and Choi Hyang-nam will have a new dream at the Daegu Military Commission Baseball Training Academy. Two people of the same age will be at a new starting line. The two men, who had walked through a turbulent baseball career, such as his professional career and his announcement to advance to the U.S., will start fostering players at the Daegu County Commission.
First of all, Choi Ik-sung, head of the club 'Journey Man', was approved for the establishment of U15 and U18 baseball teams after trying to establish a baseball training academy on the Daegu Military Commission. As a general manager, he called his friend Choi Hyang-nam and suggested that he be with him, and as Choi readily accepted, he decided to oversee the pitcher and batter parts, respectively.
Choi Ik-sung, president of the Korea Baseball Academy, said, `"Jo Ja-yong in the ground is a nickname given by fans when he played with Hyang-nam and the LG Twins together. After that, Hyangnam was nicknamed Hyangunjang. It's been a long time since I called Hyangnam and talked about a new challenge in a place where there's nothing, and it's like heading to the bare ground, so I didn't expect much. Then, suddenly, opinions were gathered with each other, resulting in unexpected results. If coach Choi Hyang-nam is with me, he said, "Someone I can trust and build a team with." He also said, `We have almost identical paths, athletic styles, and each other's view of baseball. As fast as he can play in this year's game, he expressed confidence, saying, "We will make sure that both U15 and U18 teams can play."
Director Choi Hyang-nam said, `We are building a good environment for Choi Ik-seong, the leader with a lot of social experience, to guide students. We look forward to making use of our strengths and filling in the gaps"(Choi) also understands the preferred theory of hitting mechanisms these days and believes that he can communicate well with players." The pitcher part is mine, so I'll work on it as a result. I spent a lot of time in baseball with passion. Now, I will have to spend time for the lives of others, not me, and the lives of students."
Meanwhile, the Daegu Military Commission Baseball Academy, which will debut this year, is the owner of the military committee and has the best facilities. It will also accelerate the formation of coaching staff and selection of players.
