The players prepared hard. The preliminary FA and captain, who went to the U.S. before the advance team, was surprised. If I can't defend, I have to retire. I want to steal 500.

That's how determined and enthusiastic he was for this season. This season is more important to him than ever, including the aftermath of last year's slump, the first captain at LG this season, and the second FA after this season.
"After the season, I went to a lesson in Korea and prepared for the batting that I lacked, and spent the offseason learning and training what I wanted to learn in the U.S. first on January 10th."Park Hae-min said "I want to have fun playing baseball this season because the players seem to have prepared well." I want to finish the regular season well so that it doesn't take longer to reach the Korean Series with better performance than last season, and I will work harder and show good performance so that the players can win the last championship."
The atmosphere of the spring camp is clearly different from last year. Park Hae-min said "It's my personal opinion, but last year, the players felt happy and lingering about winning the championship, but this year, I think the players prepared hard to take care of their bodies first. "I feel like I've taken care of the small things and prepared strongly. I think this camp is going on more vigorously and faster, maybe because the team's performance has also dropped, and the players with poor individual performance have prepared a little faster."
Park Hae-min is one of the players who showed poor performance last year. 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 also increased significantly from 74 in 2023 to 101 last year. Park Hae-min also "The increase in steals was positive, but other than that, it was a disappointing season overall."
Still, he participated in the game because of his excellent defense ability. Park Hae-min's defensive ability prevented runs in the wide Jamsil Stadium. Park Hae-min said, `I think it's time to retire if I can't defend myselfEven if the hitting and other parts are relatively lacking, I think we should not miss the defense, which is my advantage. With the idea that my defense can lower pitchers' ERA and even bring a team victory, I'm trying to maximize that advantage without missing the defense that I can do best."
The record I am personally proud of is steal. Park Hae-min has a total of 411 stolen bases. He is ranked fifth in stolen bases. Park Hae-min said, `It's the most proud and affectionate record.' `If I don't get hurt and the hit supports a little, I can look at 500 stolen bases, so I want to set a stolen base record." Jeon Joon-ho's 549 stolen bases are the most in history, and KT coach Lee Jong-beom's 510 are second.
