"I think the players prepared well. I will work harder to win the championship and show you good performances."온라인카지노

"Captain" Park Hae-min promised the LG Twins to do well this season.

Park Hae-min, who is currently playing the LG spring camp in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, expressed his ambition ahead of the new season through the club on the 6th.

LG, which had its third combined championship in 29 years since 1994 in the 2023 season (1990, 1994 and 2023), failed to maintain its top position by ranking third in the final last year. Those desperate are sweating to regain the throne this year.

Park was aware of the changing mood of LG. "After the 2023 season, we won the championship and had a short off-season period. I personally thought of this when I came to the spring camp last year, but I still felt that the players were very excited about winning the championship," Park said. "This year, the players seem to have been thoroughly preparing for their physical condition. It's not easy to take care of your body, but you took care of the small things first. I feel that you have been thoroughly prepared."

"The team's performance has also fallen compared to 2023," he said, adding, "I think this camp is going on more vigorously and faster because players with poor individual performance prepare a little faster."

Park Hae-min, who joined the Samsung Lions as a reported player in 2012, is a right-handed and left-handed outfield resource. He has been wearing LG's pin stripe uniform since 2022, and has played as a representative member of the KBO league with a batting average of 0.285 (1,574 hits in 5,531 at-bats) and 578 RBIs and 411 steals in 1,528 games until last year.

However, he failed to smile during the 2024 season. He played in 144 games, but only posted a batting average of 0.263 (127 hits in 482 times at bat) with 56 RBIs and 43 steals.

"Personally, I don't think there were any satisfactory parts in the 2024 season," Park Hae-min, who looked back on last year, said. "If I have to say it, the increase in the number of stolen bases can be seen positively. Other than that, it was a season that was disappointing for the team's performance and individuals as a whole."

Despite his poor performance at bat, Park was able to play in all games thanks to stable outfield defense. "I think it's time for me to retire if I can't play defense. So even if I'm relatively lacking in hitting and other areas, I think I should not miss defense, which is my strength," Park said. "I can lower the ERA of pitchers through my defense. Furthermore, it can lead to a decisive victory for my team. I'm not letting go of the defense that I can play best, and I'm trying to maximize those strengths."

Park spent the busiest off-season of the year to rebound in the 2025 season. "After the season ended, I went to a lesson center in Korea to focus on hitting that I lacked. I spent the off-season in the U.S. on January 10 learning and training what I wanted to learn," he said with a smile.

"Personally, I am focusing on hitting in this spring camp," Park said. "Now that I am the captain, I will take more responsibility in this spring camp. I am preparing as a team while taking care of any inconvenience to the players."

As he said, Park Hae-min will be in charge of the team's captaincy this year. "After the season, I was chosen at a dinner party for all the players. I didn't know it would be me. It was something that coach (Yum Kyung-yeop) had to give me permission for, but he gladly told me to do well," he said with a twinkle in his eyes. "I came to LG and lived my career silently and played my best in the stadium, but I think the players chose me with faith."

In addition, Park Hae-min said, "It is my way to listen with an open mind and an open ear. I will take anything important as a member of LG whether I am old or young. I want to be a captain who can listen carefully and lead together in a good direction. The delicacy that (Oh) Ji-hwan did will be hard to keep up with, but I will try to drag it as much as possible."

The presence of veteran players, including Kim Hyun-soo and Oh Ji-hwan, gives a great boost to Park. "Strong (Kim) Hyun-soo, meticulous (Oh) Ji-hwan, always good (Park) Dong-won, and (Im) Chan-gyu are helping me well," Park said. "There are so many players around me who are so supportive. I have talked to Ji-hwan a lot since the offseason. I received a lot of help, so I am focusing on my training in the spring camp."

He has been writing many records, but his most favorite part is stealing. "The most proud and affectionate record is stealing. I stole more than 400 times," Park said. "If my hit is supported without getting hurt, I can reach 500 times. I want to set a stolen base record."

Finally, Park said, "The players seem to have prepared well. I want to play baseball in a fun way for both the players and the fans this season," adding, "We have to produce better performances than last season. I want to finish the regular season well so that the duration of the Korean Series will not be prolonged. I will work harder and show better performances so that the players can win the last championship."
