The remaining time for Lee Dae-ho… I want to give you all my know-how

[엑스포츠뉴스 김현세 기자] `I will do everything I can to win. Also, I want to convey all the know-how I have for my juniors.`

Lotte Giants said on the 29th that they signed a two-year contract with Dae-ho Lee for 2.6 billion won. It is a condition that an annual salary of 800 million won and a winning option of 100 million won are included. The contract ended on the Friday of the last week of inactivity. I was so careful. Although there were not many views that there was a disagreement over the late contract, Lee Dae-ho said,’The meeting itself was late.’ He said, `There was no disagreement on the size of the contract. He explained that the news was late because he was coordinating the retirement period.

In other words, Lee Dae-ho and Lotte have only two years left. Lotte said, “I put respect and respect for the players in this contract, and I will help Lee Dae-ho finish the last period smoothly as an active player. Lotte said that Lee Dae-ho was “comprehensive,” including not only skills, but accumulated know-how, growth of prospects, and symbolism related to fan loyalty as a franchise star.

Last year, Lee Dae-ho had a difference in the records of Classic and Saber Matrix. He played in all 144 games and hit a batting average of 0.292 OPS (on base rate + slugging rate) 0.806 and 20 home runs and 110 RBIs, but adjusted score production (wRC+, based on stats) was 105.8. It is close to the league average.

As the oldest 20-home run hitter last year, he tried to play an active part for a high salary. However, it was evaluated as having an aging curve. Lee Dae-ho’s burden was greater because his feeling of typing No. 4 was still big, but Lee Dae-ho is willing to take on the role that suits him when the time comes.

Lotte also hoped that Lee Dae-ho would pass on the know-how to his juniors. Lee Dae-ho hit a batting average of 0.309 and 332 homers and 1,243 RBIs in 1715 games in 15 years at Lotte, and home runs and RBIs are the club’s first place. Lotte said,’As a key veteran player, he appreciated his ability to contribute to the team’. As Han Dong-hee, Kim Min-soo, and Na Seung-yeop, Lee Dae-ho is the best textbook you can see and learn.

Lotte put a clause on winning the contract with Lee Dae-ho. Lee Dae-ho has always been hoping to win. Lotte officials said,’Both of Lee Dae-ho and the team are willing to win. The player also said that he would contribute not only to the challenge but also in many ways. We thought we would do that too. So, CEO Lee Seok-hwan also said that he had a very strong desire to be with Lee Dae-ho, and the group holding company helped him even in a difficult situation.

When asked about’goes and resolutions in the future’, Lee Dae-ho said,’I only want to retire after winning the Korean series within two years.’ He added the option to win this contract. It contains the option of donating 100% of the KRW 100 million received when the team wins to the underprivileged. I will do everything I can to win the team. I want to convey all the know-how I have for my juniors. He said, “I will do my best to help the manager.”
