Baseball is a mental sport.

It was said that `I don't care whether it's contracted or not.' But inside, how anxious must he have been.

Hanwha Eagles Liberato dreams of a "short-term alternative Korean dream" once again, following teammate Weiss.




Hanwha decided to completely replace Liberato, who was brought in on a six-week contract, in place of Floral, who suffered a broken hand in the second half. Ahead of the KT Wiz match on the 19th, he informed the player of the official contract. The rest of the season's salary is 205,000.

In fact, it is never easy for a short-term replacement to leave a strong impact within a short period of six weeks and exceed the existing players. In particular, considering that Floral was reviving with a tremendous sense of hitting before his injury, the complete replacement of Liberato would not have been that easy, but Hanwha's choice feels like a stroke of God.

It's the first time in Korea. As soon as he arrived, he acted like an altoran in the second position based on his accurate contact ability. It showed the ability to create chances when there was no runner and bring them home when there was a runner.

Hanwha has a solid central lineup that leads to Moon Hyun-bin, Roh Si-hwan and Chae Eun-sung. A team that does not need foreign hitters to make fun of. In addition, outfield resources were needed to fill the weak outfield defense. It's not easy to find a player with power among professional outfielders.

I expected that from Floral, but contrary to expectations, he exposed anxiety in defense. Liberato is not 100% satisfactory, but it is said to be better than Floral. And head coach Kim Kyung-moon and Hanwha chose Liberato, whose rise is not dampened, over Floral, which had a question mark on whether they could come back and show the same hit as before.

First of all, it's 'Awesome ' He signed a 'regular worker' sign and showed tremendous performance by hitting three hits in two consecutive games. The game against KT on the 19th went into four at-bats before it became a rainfall cold in the sixth inning and recorded three hits and two runs in four at-bats. If this day was the day to set the table, he even served as a troubleshooter with three hits, two RBIs and three runs in five at-bats, including a home run.

Liberato said he didn't care after the formal contract was finalized, but honestly, it couldn't help but bother. I think I'll be able to enter the batter's box more comfortably in the future," he said, laughing, but it was true. The bat is dancing. As a result, Hanwha won nine consecutive games. If you're going to change it anyway, coach Kim's choice to do it quickly without dragging his feet was right.

You don't have to worry about being careless about signing a full-time contract. Liberato has the following goal. Like Weiss, re-signing with good treatment next season. Concentration is bound to burn.
