He is coached by coach Chris Oxspring, who played for LG for the Sydney Blue Sox.
In February, LG invited him to train together during the Arizona camp, and with Eliaser Hernandez missing due to injury and looking for a short-term replacement pitcher, he succeeded in recruiting Koen Win to evaluate his skills in advance in preparation for the implementation of the Asian quarter next year.
Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop, who watched his pitching in Arizona, said, `It's much better than our sixth starter right now,' adding, `He has good control and throws various pitches. The shortcoming is the speed limit, and the fastball throws an average of 146km. If the fastball speed was higher, it would have been on our list of foreign players. It's in the Asian quarter because the speed is not fast."
According to the current plan, Koen Win's first appearance will be against SSG Landers in Jamsil on the 4th.
