“The moment our shoulders go up, we go down to last place. “It might be tempting to bask in the glow of the first unified championship in 29 years, but Kim Hyun-soo (35-LG Twins) shakes his head vigorously. “More than the satisfaction of winning the title last year, I’m more worried,” he said at Incheon International Airport before departing for Arizona, where he and his LG teammates set up spring training on Tuesday. “It’s harder to defend than to go up. We need to be stronger to stay on top.” “I want to talk to the juniors during spring camp about how much stronger we need to be and how much stronger we can be,” he said, adding, “Of course, I also need to be stronger.” The will to be stronger was demonstrated by Kim’s ‘weight loss’ before the camp began. He lost weight during the off-season, so much so that everyone who met him after a long time asked, “How much weight did you lose? “He said, “I’ve always controlled my weight. Last year, due to my back injury, I didn’t train enough during the season, so the weight loss this time around is more noticeable,” he said, adding, “I have a sweet tooth, but recently I’ve been following a vegetarian diet. I’ve been a little more proactive in controlling my weight this off-season.”

“My clothes have gotten bigger,” he said, “and although I blame it on my injuries, it was a lack of exercise that caused the weight gain. This year, I will keep my weight in check during the season .”Last year, Kim batted .293 with a .364 on-base percentage, .383 slugging percentage, six home runs, and 88 RBIs. It was a solid performance, but he wasn’t satisfied. “I have a lot of regrets about my individual performance last year. “I worked hard in the offseason,” he said, “but the team won the championship. There are many times when the results don’t come out as I prepared, but this year, I want to hit more accurately and hit the ball farther to solve the lack of long balls, which was my biggest regret last year. “LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop gave Kim a goal of batting .330 for the 2024 season. “He set a very high standard for me, and I’ll try to reach that goal,” Kim said .Kim also received some good news. The KBO has decided to limit defensive shifts this season .A shift is a tactic that involves leaving one side of the infield empty and concentrating infielders between first and second base, or between third base and shortstop, in order to shut down a hard-hitting lefty or righty. “I felt myself becoming passive when a ball I thought was a hit was caught by a fielder,” Kim said, “and I think the shift restriction will make me feel more comfortable. “Kim Hyun-soo, who sees the “whole team,” also plans to give his juniors some “bitter words” at this camp.”I think I will continue to tell them to train hard,” Kim Hyun-soo predicted, and he also revealed his “primary target,” 카지노사이트 saying, “I will help Bum-seok lose weight,” referring to second-year player Kim Bum-seok, who had gained weight.
