It’s hotter than expected. More and more MLB scouts are observing Korean players as if the interest was only just beginning at the Kiwoom spring camp. 온라인카지노 In the center is Lee Jeong-hoo, but Ko Woo-seok, Jung Woo-young, Kang Baek-ho, and Kim Hye-seong are also very important to them. The Korean World Baseball Classic (WBC) national team is calling MLB scouts.
On the 17th (Korean time), the national team played its first match against NC at the Tucson Kino Complex in Arizona, USA. With the power of the batting line, they won 8-2, and a scout for the 8th MLB team watched this scene. New York Yankees, Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston, Chicago Cubs, Texas, Detroit, and Kansas City scouts were dispatched. Scouts constantly recorded the appearance of the national team players from training before the game to the game.
The player receiving the most attention is, of course, Lee Jung-hoo. Boston, San Francisco, and Dodgers scouts have visited Kiwoom spring camp since the beginning of this month to watch Lee Jung-hoo. However, Lee Jung-hoo is not the only scouting target. Scouts are also writing reports on Go Woo-seok, who will be eligible for posting after this season, and Kim Hye-seong, Jung Woo-young, and Kang Baek-ho, who are classified as possible MLB players in the future.
In other words, the match between the national team and NC that day was like a restaurant buffet for scouts. Although the workload is heavy, it was a unique opportunity to record many things at once. There are not many opportunities like this for MLB clubs, which are engaged in information wars ahead of scout competition.
As if responding to scouts’ interest, Kim Hye-seong hit at bat and showed off a wide range of defense as a second baseman. Kang Baek-ho led the national team with two hits, including a home run. Go Woo-seok recorded the highest speed of 152 km even though it was his first real fight this year. Although Jung Woo-young and Lee Jung-hoo have been somewhat hesitant, this can also be a valuable resource for scouts.
This is the start. The team will play four more games in Arizona. We will play against KIA on the 20th, against KT on the 23rd and 25th, and against LG on the 27th. Scouts are expected to visit steadily in the next four games and record the players’ every move.
Meanwhile, commentator Park Chan-ho, who served as an advisor to the San Diego team, implied that San Diego had already written a report on Lee Jung-hoo. Commissioner Park said, “I get a lot of questions about Lee Jung-hoo at the San Diego club. Regarding Lee Jung-hoo, rather than the technical aspects, we are telling the story of the environment and mentality he grew up in.”
