[스포티비뉴스=부산, 고봉준 기자] At the Sajik Stadium where the Lotte Giants are hosting the spring camp, a young faced newcomer is with you. It is infielder Na Seung-yeop (19).
Na Seung-yeop, who was known as a high school promising player throughout Deoksu High School, wore a Lotte uniform last year. Initially, it was foretold to go to the U.S. due to the interest of major league clubs in the U.S., but worried about the aftermath of Corona 19, he chose to go to the KBO league, and received a considerable down payment of 500 million won from Lotte, who called his name in the second nomination.
Afterwards, Na Seung-yeop, who entered the world of pros through the Nakdonggang Education League, received an invitation to the 1st Army Spring Camp from Director Huh Moon-hoe. It was the only joining of the rookie motives.
When the story of Na Seung-yeop came out, coach Heo Moon-hoe, who met at the Sajik Stadium on the 15th, when the spring camp was in full swing, made an unusual favorable response, saying, “He is a different player.” He said, “Once I see only the hitting, the batting speed is okay. Also, the quality of the batted ball is good. I keep watching,” he continued.
Na Seung-yeop, who just graduated from high school, is sweating with seniors who are at least 1 year old and at most 21 years old. Last year’s rookie Choi Jun-yong (20) is the top senior, and the playing coach Song Seung-joon (40) is the eldest.
Na Seung-yeop, who is still awkward in the professional stage, is taking off her high school student’s stigma by gradually increasing her adaptability. If you have any questions, I am learning by asking all of my seniors, including role model Son A-seop (33).
The command tower is also closely grasping Na Seung-yeop. It even attaches a dedicated trainer who marks only Na Seung-yeop. Coach Huh said, “It is difficult to make an accurate judgment because we are still practicing defense. Still, the blow is okay. I think it’s okay to hit a batting average of 25 percent this year. For me, I think it is important to take care of Na Seung-yeop with the coaches.”
However, it was not only the command tower that watched Na Seung-yeop closely. Son Ah-seop, who debuted at Lotte and reached the top of the list, also showed interest in Na Seung-yeop in an interview that day.
Son Ah-seop said, “After training together, I felt that Na Seung-yeop was a really good player. The swing is very smooth, and the hitting mechanism is good. The technology was fine more than expected.”
Still, he said, “I still lack strength. Still, he advised me not to be scared in advance. I was asked to stick to it first because I was a pro, so I didn’t need to be intimidated.”
Nineteen newcomers who receive a lot of attention from the command tower and veteran. Na Seung-yeop’s winter in 2021 doesn’t seem very cold.
