Son Ah-seop, who is starting anew from Hanwha Eagles, will play the same number he used.

An official from Hanwha said on the 5th that "Jeong Yi-hwang gave up his previous number, 31, to Son Ah-seop."Jeong Yi-hwang contacted Son Ah-seop first and told him to use number 31" he said.

Son Ah-seop moved from the NC Dinos to Hanwha in a trade on the 31st of last month.




Hanwha, which is ranked No. 1 this season, has been consistently matching its trade cards to strengthen its outfielders and hitting since the first half of the year. While the trade was not easily completed in the first half of the year, negotiations were reached dramatically with NC on the end of the trade.

NC received a third-round nomination and 300 million won in cash when sending Son Ah-seop.

Son Ah-seop is the best 'Kyo batter' in the KBO League. He played in 2,134 games with a batting average of 321 home runs, 232 steals, 1,069 RBIs, 1382 runs, and an OPS (long hitting percentage + on-base percentage) of 0.845. Son Ah-seop's record of 2,583 hits is the most among KBO league players. In addition, he ranks third in overall batting average among active players.

Although he was excluded from the first-team entry on the 24th of last month due to side pain, he showed a clear strength in hitting by posting a batting average of .741 with a batting average of .33 RBIs in 76 games.

Son Ah-seop said he would repay Jung Yi-hwang by thanking him when he gave up his number. First of all, Jung Yi-hwang answered "No, it's okay".

Jung Yi-hwang will receive No. 34, which he wore as soon as Son Ah-seop came.




Meanwhile, Son Ah-seop, who is currently accompanying the first team without entry registration, is improving his physical condition by practicing batting. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said there was no pain. We need to increase the amount of practice"The muscles used in games are different again. I think I need to hit a fast ball. I'm thinking of a live bet as early as tomorrow" he said.
