‘Chu Choo Train’ entered Korea. Amid the hot topic every day, the SSG Landers players were also excited. The atmosphere is even more exciting while training with a major league player. Shin-soo Choo is excited to say “Wow~” just by swinging the bat in practice betting. The same goes for SSG Lee Jin-young, hitting coach. Coach Lee Jin-young, who wore the national team uniform at the 2009 World Baseball Classic (WBC), says, “It feels different from then.” First of all, I was amazed at the length and weight of the bat that Choo Shin-soo wielded.

It is the first time for a Korean professional team, but Choo Shin-soo is quickly adjusting. With the help of Kim Kang-min, who is of the same age, he is building a friendship for the’one team’ by having several conversations with the players. Coach Lee Jin-young said, “It seems that the influence on the team is great. Young players ask Shin-soo Cho a lot of things,” he said. “I spoke English in the major leagues, but I was a Dougout leader. (2009) I feel more mature than at the WBC.” He said, “I will make the numerical grades myself. It would be great if existing SSG players could create synergy through the’new water effect’.” Meanwhile, SSG coach Kim Won-hyung said he would play Choo Shin-soo in a demonstration game, not a practice game. Because it has been a long time outside training, there is a risk of injury. Director Kim said in a call on the evening of the 15th, “We need more adaptation training outside. During the demonstration game, I will play the game to the extent that Korean pitchers see the ball.” By Kim Yang-hee, staff reporter [email protected]
