[잠실=스포츠서울 윤세호기자] Wearing a new uniform, he emphasized to make use of the opportunity that came to him. In addition, although I heard the news of the trade early, it also showed a willingness to decorate the end by doing my best in the former team. Doosan infielder Yang Seok-hwan is staring at the career high season aiming for first baseman.
On the 26th, Yang Seok-hwan was named first baseman with a fifth batter against Jamsil LG. Prior to the LG War, he laughed, “If this situation is not awkward, it would be a lie.” On the 23rd, when he heard the news of the trade, he said, “I thought that it could be the last game wearing an LG uniform. Even though it was a demonstration game, I wanted to finish well, so I concentrated and the result came out well,” he said. Yang Seok-hwan hit a double against William Cuevas, who was struggling at the time, and LG tied 4-4 through Yang Seok-hwan’s double.
Regarding the situation before receiving the final trade notification the day before, “In fact, I was wondering if the trade was canceled because there was no further talk until the 24th holiday. So when I played yesterday, I didn’t think about a trade, but as a player behind me, I only thought about getting ready and good results.” Yang Seok-Hwan continued to play an active part in the match on the 25th with two hits in three at-bats including doubles against Doosan.
As a result, the uniform has changed, but the situation is likely to improve from the backup agent to the first baseman in a day. Yang Seok-hwan said, “It seemed to be a really good opportunity for me. Didn’t Doosan also use good players as trade cards? I want to hear that each other did well. For this, I will do my best and I want to do it well.” The director said,’Why are you so good only at Doosan?’ He is also a senior in high school and I think it will fit well with the coach.”
Regarding the upcoming season’s goal, “In fact, LG is the player behind, so we set the goal accordingly. However, the situation has changed a lot as it was traded yesterday. I haven’t even set a goal yet. Still, I wonder if we should at least give the grades before the military service in 2018.” In 2018, Yang Seok-hwan played in 140 games and hit a batting average of 0.263, 22 homers, 82 RBIs, and an OPS (on base rate + slugging percentage) of 0.758.
He also told the story of maintaining the number 53. Yang Seok-hwan said, “After the trade, the Doosan manager contacted me. He said that if he wants to keep the number 53, he can ask for a concession from the second-team pitcher.” “I asked for a concession, but that player accepted the request. “It’s not as good as Choo Shin-soo, but I’m thinking of a small gift.”
He said, “I haven’t analyzed LG pitchers in full force right away. I will study and analyze the pitchers in the future, but I am a little worried about this right now.” “Roughly, today’s situation is drawn. Both (Yu) Gangnam and (Jeong) Chanheon will be smiling at me. I think I will feel very strange,” he smiled.
Lastly, he said, “I have thought a lot about how strong the infield camp is, while dealing with Doosan. I think the stability of the infielder is the best in the 10th baseball team.” “I think Doosan will still become the strongest infielder if I don’t make a mistake at first base. I will add strength to Doosan’s strongest infielder.”
