"It was poisonous that we had to do better, that we had to do better (rather than wait)."

Lotte Giants' 「Signal」 batter, an undisputed national outfielder.

Yoon Dong-hee (23) shook off her last burden with a bright smile. Following the SSG Landers' third shot of the season at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 6th, he added a timely hit and a walk to achieve three on-base hits. In addition, he played center field in defense, leading the team to victory.




After the game, Yoon Dong-hee smiled, saying, `Thank you to coach Lee Sung-gon.' The swing got smaller due to the thought of too much 'must', and as a result, there were more ground balls.

Yun Dong-hee calls himself "Swing mechanism, so you have to hit a lot of fly balls."Coach Lee Sung-gon's point of "Focus on making the lower body rotation bigger was able to correct it. I trusted the coach and followed him."

As for the more lively ceremony than usual, "I wanted to raise the atmosphere even if it was a bit excessive" was also quoted as saying.

In the past, he couldn't hide his burden when he came to the first batting order. But it's different now. Yoon Dong-hee said "Before, I only thought that I had to get on base in front of a clean-up too much. Today, I was not the first hitter, but I thought 'first at-bat' and swung boldly, and the result was good.'

With Hwang Sung-bin out due to injury, there are not many leadoff cards that Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung can use. Yoon Dong-hee stressed that `Now, just because you watch No. 1, you won't have to swing passively or consciously watch a lot of the ball.'

"In fact, as (Hwang) Sung-bin suddenly fell out, I heard 'Today's first batter center fielder' before training today." But I wasn't worried. If you're used to it, it's a familiar location. Standing in the center field for the first time in a long time, I thought Sungbin had a hard time."

Last year, he did not go to the second division despite his initial slump. However, head coach Kim Tae-hyung had Yoon Dong-hee come to the second division once this year with a slightly different inner circle.

Yoon Dong-hee said, `I thought I would go to the second division at any time. I just thought that I would prepare more thoroughly and come up. When I went there and thought about it, I thought mental problems were bigger than skills"It was a good experience to organize your mind and reflect on your memories, and to restore your original intentions." He then said, "'When I tried to go to work in Sangdong in the morning, there was a lot of traffic.'"

"I think the batter who leads the team is decided after the season is over. If I think I should do well now, it's poisonous. I might not even be able to cover myself. I'll focus on playing my style of baseball."
