He is the only rookie to participate in the LG Spring Camp. Director Yeom Gyeong-yeop praised him, saying, “It is possible to enter the opening match.” The main character, Park Myeong-geun (19), was calm and not excited.
On the 30th, Myeong-geun Park left for spring camp in Scottsdale, Arizona with his seniors through Incheon International Airport. He is the only rookie among 43 players in the camp. That much recognition of possibility.
Director Yeom Kyung-yeop praised Park Myung-geun while leaving the country earlier. He said that he has good control and is a pitcher who knows how to fight.
In an interview before departure, Park Myeong-geun said shyly, “I didn’t think much about being included in the camp list. I just wish I could go. I was just looking forward to it. Now that I’m leaving today, I feel it.
” He said, “I think I’m lucky. The first time I saw the director’s praise was from an article. I didn’t know you would think so well, but he said so well, so I’m thinking that I should play up to expectations.
” Park Myung-geun said again, “I’m betting myself that I shouldn’t be excited already. I will try to make it happen as the coach said.
” He has a lot of expectations for the spring camp. He said, “There is nothing to worry about. I look forward to it. It’s the first time I’m playing baseball with professional brothers, so I’m curious about how to train, and I’m looking forward to seeing a higher level of baseball.”안전놀이터
He added, “Because it’s the same sidearm, Jung Woo-young’s two-seam is the best weapon, so I want to learn it.”
Park Myeong-geun is not tall at 174 cm, but he is a pitcher who throws 150 km per hour on the right-handed sidearm. He is still unknown to fans. He asked to introduce himself and boast about his strengths. Park Myeong-geun said, “I throw a fastball, slider, changeup, and cutter. Among the breaking balls, he is most confident in his slider. Although he is a little short, I hope that he will be known as a player who knows how to play baseball with confidence.”
The physical disadvantage of being short is also pointed out as a disadvantage in growing as a baseball player. Park Myung-geun boldly said, “I don’t think it matters much whether you’re tall or short when it comes to baseball. Even if you’re short, I think you can go to a higher position if you do better, and there doesn’t seem to be a big difference.
” I played baseball with a fielder, but I started playing baseball properly when I was in middle school. “Originally, I tried this and that, but I thought the sidearm was the most comfortable, so my form was established properly from the second year of middle school,” explained
Park Myung-geun, ” I don’t really care about right-handed or left-handed hitters, but since I’m a sidearm pitcher, there’s a bit of a disadvantage to left-handed hitters, so I think right-handed hitters have a bit more strength. He said, “I think it will be useful if I practice falling balls and changeup pitches against left-handed hitters more.”
