The ‘hitting instruction’ of a ‘pitcher training expert’ is a little different… Customized instruction for ‘pitcher-turned-batter’ [Yu Jin-hyung’s 1mm on-site]

SSG manager Wonhyeong Kim is one of the leading pitcher training experts in Korea. He held the bat and guided the batters. But when I looked closer, I saw that he was a little different. In particular, when he was giving batting instruction to Ha Jae-hoon, he caught his attention with customized instruction.

Coach Won-Hyung Kim, who was called the Little Prince during his playing days, debuted in the KBO League in 1991 as the Ssangbangwool Raiders’ preferred draft pick out of high school, and has left a significant mark, playing in 545 games as a starting pitcher and middle pitcher for 21 years, recording 133 wins, 144 losses, 12 holds, 26 saves, and an ERA of 3.92. He was a pitcher who left a mark. After his retirement, he served as a pitching coach for SK, Lotte, and Doosan. And after taking office as SK coach in the winter of 2020, he led SSG to win the pennant race ‘wire to wire’ for the first time in the KBO League last year, becoming the best current manager.

Coach Won-Hyung Kim lived his professional life, overcoming countless crises due to injuries big and small during his active career. At the end of his active career, he was unable to throw due to the pain caused by the aftereffects of surgery, so he eventually took off his uniform. Coach Won-Hyung Kim, who went through numerous surgeries and rehabilitation during his active career, is well aware of the problems that pitchers may encounter during the rehabilitation process and after their return, and is a leader who understands their feelings better than anyone else and knows how to share their pain. 

So should I go like that? He has a special affection for Ha Jae-hoon. Ha Jae-hoon is the player who won the league save title in 2019 by making 36 saves, the most in a single season for the club. However, his velocity decreased due to a shoulder injury in 2020, and he eventually declared that he would become a fielder after 2021. Converting to becoming a hitter in his 30s was a game-changing decision for his baseball career.

메이저사이트Coach Kim Won-hyung held a bat and gave him customized guidance. Ha Jae-hoon was practicing batting ahead of the away game against the LG Twins in the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 16th. Manager Kim Won-hyung pointed out Ha Jae-hoon’s problem with his left shoulder opening when batting and showed him how the pitcher opens his shoulder when pitching to help him understand. It was a slightly different method of guidance for Ha Jae-hoon, a former pitcher.

Ha Jae-hoon has difficulty dealing with breaking balls that fall to the outside bell from right-handed pitchers, but manager Kim Won-hyung suggested a solution to overcome his weakness. If the habit of opening the left shoulder and left leg early when hitting disappears, the [IS Focus] Nominated as ‘6 people in the 3R’, Kiwoom says “It went as I thought” and begins preparations for the post Jeonghu Leeility to deal with breaking balls improves and it is possible to produce a hit that hits the center of the bat accurately. Currently, Ha Jae-hoon is having problems with his pitching, but his slugging percentage and OPS are at the league level thanks to his fast bat speed and body rotation. He is doing his part by showing off his slugging ability even in limited opportunities.

Batsman Ha Jae-hoon has shown his potential over the past two years. Now he must overcome his weaknesses through this season’s closing camp. Only then can he get more opportunities next season and become a slugger for SSG capable of hitting 20 home runs.
