"I get treated for my performance, and I try to do better."

Kim Moo-shin (former Kim Yoon-soo) left due to an unexpected elbow surgery, but the atmosphere of the Okinawa Samsung camp is still bright.

After the warm-up match against Yomiuri in Naha on the 16th, the team returned to Onnason Akama Stadium on the 17th to continue training. He improved his organizational skills by conducting fielding in the morning and cooperative defensive training according to the situation. On this day, some of the main pitchers, including Won Tae-in and Baek Jung-hyun, joined the first team in the Ishikawa Futures League camp rehabilitation team, making the atmosphere more lively. The players raised the atmosphere by shouting "fighting" loudly at their teammates who played well.




Camp scenery where you can feel good tension. The atmosphere and attitude are quite different from previous years. From rookies to veterans, they are taking it more seriously.

Kang Min-ho, the best fielder, volunteered to play against the Yomiuri Giants. Coach Park Jin-man explained that he dissuaded him from trying to wear an catcher mask and set him up as a designated hitter. Kang Min-ho even said "I will definitely wear a mask in the first practice game even after (the transfer)." He also approached another transfer Choi Won-tae first. "Minho also welcomed me first, talked while eating, and it's not good to have a lot of thoughts." Let's keep it simple. 'Okay. I'll trust you and follow you' I saidChoi Won-tae's testimony is not to mention young players as the veteran is doing this. Bae Chan-seung, Shim Jae-hoon, Cha Seung-joon, and Soo-ho, who shine in the camp, 'Rookie Four Musketeers' constantly move with their eyes shining.

The positive camp atmosphere comes from a virtuous cycle. Last year, Samsung reversed its low ranking outlook and entered the fall baseball league for the first time in three years. He even made it to the Korean Series for the first time in nine years.

Coach Park Jin-man, who led the heyday of strong teams such as Hyundai and Samsung, also expresses satisfaction with the atmosphere of the team.




Coach Park said, `It's a little different from the atmosphere at the beginning of last year's camp, which was in the lower part. It feels different. Since these parts of being treated are clearly different, they have become serious and cautious. The atmosphere itself became much better, and the excitement increased. When entering the technology, they became more cautious on their own and their concentration increased rather than the coaching staff setting the atmosphere. Overall, I think the images of going to the strong team are being made in the camp now."

Positive changes created by the full support of the club before and after the runner-up.

Coach Park Jin-man said, `I think the players are feeling and getting to know each other because they are getting good grades, getting good treatment, and better training conditions are made"As young players who are just starting out learn by seriously considering technically more, the atmosphere seems to be forming faster," he said, pointing to the team's atmosphere that has changed positively with a happy appearance.
