LG Twins Park Hae-min' defense is evaluated as nothing more than an attack. Watching Park Hae-min catch a big hit by the opponent's team that can lead to a loss, I feel anew that Park Hae-min cannot be without him.
Park Hae-min had another show time in the first and second place match against the Hanwha Eagles in Jamsil on the 27th.
Park Hae-min, who started as No. 8-center fielder, chased Lee Jin-young's double-base hit deep in the left-center in the top of the second inning and jumped slightly to catch it, and in the top of the third inning, Choi Jae-hoon's short hit hit hit ran forward and fell and caught it again. In the top of the eighth inning, when they were chased 2-1, Floral showed off his tremendous defense by running and catching a big hit that flew toward the fence in the middle. All of them were hits even a little later. Lee Jin-young and Floral's batting could have been a double. With Park Hae-min's defense parade, LG was able to dominate the first place by increasing the game difference with Hanwha to 3.5, with a 2-1 one-point victory.
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop also said after the game, `The decisive role of today's victory was Park Hae-min's excellent defenseto the point of saying "
I asked Park Hae-min, who I met after the game, why he always plays such good defense. Park Hae-min relies on papers from the data teamLooking at the situations, in today's case, (Im) Chan-kyu and (Kim) Jin-sung are good controlled pitchers such as hyung, and pitchers who can throw on the course the catcher wants, so I think I was able to increase the probability by trusting the paper and the pitchers' ball control by count.
In addition, PitchCom is also making good use of it. Park Hae-min said "In the case of Floral's ball, I heard (Park) Dong-won order a fastball outside in 3B1S through pitchcom."So I think the batter was able to position and catch the defense in the back because he could hit a long ball."

And Park Hae-min "I think the most important thing is how much I don't look at (the ball) when it comes to hitting well." Both Lee Jin-young and Floral hitters would have been hard to catch if I had kept watching the ball." When hitters hit, he thought the ball would fly to some extent and ran without looking at the ball, looking at and catching the ball around the drop point. If you keep watching the ball from the beginning, the speed will inevitably decrease.
Park Hae-min said "There should be no fear when you go without looking at the ball." Then "I don't know where I'm going to run because I'm not looking at the ball. Without such fear, you can try. So I have to practice a lot and miss it. "You have to practice a lot without looking, so the error gradually decreases. At first, it falls here, there, in the stern. You can keep practicing and try it at the game depending on how much you reduce the error.' It means that it is the result of numerous exercises.
When asked if his defense was better than when he was young, Park Hae-min said, `The speed would have been better when he was young, but now he has more experience, so he moves according to the situation through more thoughts and image training, knows where to catch and where to throw it, and plays it.'
It was a veteran's play that was possible because Jeon Jun-woo, the first baseman, quickly threw to second base and tagged out when he tagged up to second base during Na Seung-yeop's deep center field fly against Lotte in Busan on the 22nd.
