"There is too little power analysis information."

I'm serious about Korean baseball. Lee Jung-hoo is now active on the major league stage, but once again spoke out for the baseball team.

Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants expressed his honest thoughts on the national baseball team in a spring camp interview released on the 9th through the video channel 'Off the TV'. The interviewer was Lee Taek-geun, a commentator who was the youngest with a senior in Heroes.

Lee Jung-hoo responded to Lee Taek-geun's question, `What should the national baseball team supplement in order to achieve results in international competitions?'" Can I be honest?"After a moment of contemplation, we need to further complement the power analysis." he said.

Lee Jung-hoo said, "I've played in the national team a lot since I was young, but of course, I know the power analysis team is working hard and giving me information, but it's not enough." "I first felt it in the U.S., but the power analysis system is so different from that of Korea." he said.

At the same time, he candidly expressed his views on last year's 'premier12' strategy, which he watched as a viewer. Lee Jung-hoo said "I felt while looking at the Premier, Taiwan is also an Asian country. In my opinion, Taiwan must have become very adaptable to underpushers now, but I watched Ko Young-pyo go out (as a starting pitcher). Taiwan is still Asian baseball style, and the power would be better, right? That's what I thought"There is too little information. "At the Olympics, there was a difference of about 10 kilometers between the analysis data and the actual speed of the pitcher in question."

Commentator Lee Taek-geun also sympathized with Lee Jung-hoo's story and said, `I think Korean baseball players should invest more, whether it's time or money, not only in the national team's power analysis team but also in KBO. We're losing in the battle for information power" he said. Lee Jung-hoo also nodded and "Power analysis seems to have to invest like that. There are now so many good equipment."

There are practical problems such as cost and budget, but it is also a statement of opinion that can be made because he is an active major leaguer who actually played for the national team.

Lee Jung-hoo, who was a regular member of major international competitions such as the World Baseball Classic (WBC), the Tokyo Olympics, the Hangzhou Asian Games, and 'Premier 12', has grown into a batter representing Korea. In particular, it is more honest and realistic feedback than anyone else about the situation in which the national team has been sluggish in recent international competitions.

In a meeting with Korean reporters in the spring camp, Lee Jung-hoo said, "The baseball team should complement the point that the generation change is not only young players, but only the best members can perform well."Thank you for telling me this story," said Ryu Ji-hyun, head coach of the WBC national team. "," he replied.
