"I'm doing well, too. Haha."

It was a little too much for the word 'supersize', but the signs are unusual. Kim Min-seok is already in the mood to be reborn as Doosan's new leadoff. If Jeong Cheol-won also finds the ball power during the era of 「New King」, it could really be a"supersize" trade.

Lotte Giants and Doosan Bears made a 3-2 trade in November last year. Kim Min-seok, Choo Jae-hyun and Choi Woo-in went from Lotte, and Jung Chul-won and Jeon Min-jae came from Doosan. The key was Kim Min-seok and Jeong Cheol-won.




Kim Min-seok was Lotte's painful finger and an ugly duck. After graduating from Whimoon High School, he received a Lotte pick in the first round of the 2023 draft. 3rd overall over pitchers. There was no doubt that it would be the 'second Lee Jung-hoo'.

He had 100 hits in his first season as a rookie. However, since Kim Tae-hyung took office last year, his position has narrowed. Coach Kim judged that the bat should be overwhelming to take the main role amid a lack of defense and base running, but it is not that bad. In order to be an outfield backup, Hwang Sung-bin and other players were appointed because of the lack of defense and base running.

Jung Chul-won joined Doosan in 2018 and spent his unknown days, appeared like a comet in 2022 and recorded 23 holds to win the Rookie of the Year award. It was a shocking debut. Coach Kim, who was leading Doosan at the time, fell in love with the 150km fastball that he threw confidently only in the middle of the catcher's mitt. However, he lost his finishing position last season due to rapid deterioration of ball power and difficulty, and it was not easy to even stand in the first team.




Attention was drawn to how the two, who lacked something in the original team, would break out in the new team. Kim Min-seok changed the mood first.

It shows the extreme contact ability, as mentioned in the scouting report, in Doosan's uniform. Coach Lee Seung-yeop believes that defense is defense, and that maximizing the bat's ability is the first priority, but outfield defense is not that bad.

Therefore, Jeong Cheol-won is also bound to be stimulated. The parties to the trade should do better than each otherThere is no choice but to have a mindset of '. When asked "Kim Min-seok is doing well, are you enjoying this trade competition?" Jeong Cheol-won said "Oh, is Min-seok doing well?," he said with a laugh. Then "I don't care too much. My goal is to give Lotte fans the thought that `Jung Chul-won came and the middle of Lotte has stabilized a lot.'

Jeong Cheol-won then said "Min-seok is doing well, so I want to tell you that he is doing well as well " to give a laugh. Jung Cheol-won had no earned run in three exhibition games. KIA Tigers, Hanwha Eagles, and Kiwoom Heroes in one inning each, and Hanwha was scoreless. There was one run against Kiwoom, but it was not an earned run. He struck out five in three innings. Manager Kim Tae-hyung said, `I gave him a score before raising him, but his ball power was the best. It's getting better," he said, expressing anticipation.
