Son Ah-seop (35, NC Dinos) is one of the heroes of the end of the 2023 season. He was not even the first batting champion in his career, and became the most hit player. The 2023 KBO Golden Glove designated hitter category held at the COEX Auditorium in Samseong-dong, Seoul on Wednesday was also Son's. 스포츠토토
How much will Kang take on the revival of Son, who was sluggish in the 2022 season? Son conducted batting training with Kang and Hurley at Kang Jung-ho Academy in Los Angeles for a month in January. It was a form of private tutoring, and the effect was perfect.
Son will train with coach Kang Jung-ho next year before joining NC`s spring camp in Tucson, Arizona. Unlike this year when he started training in early January, he will join from mid-January next year. As a captain, he will join the team in January and fly to LA.
And Son Ah-seop said that there is a player he wants to go to LA with next year during this season. On that day, he said, “I was going to go with Joo-won and Se-hyuk, but Joo-won said it was personally difficult, so I decided to go with Se-hyuk.”
Son Ah-seop called Kim Joo-won the “second Francisco Lindor (New York Mets)” at the Tucson Spring Camp last year. He has taken good care of Kim Joo-won, who is a long-term junior, but is clearly talented. However, Kim cannot move to LA in January when he is in his personal situation.
After all, Park Se-hyuk is the third KBO leaguer at Kang Jung-ho School. Park was sluggish with a batting average of 0.211 with six homers, 32 RBIs and 35 runs scored by an OPS of 0.654 at-bats for 51 hits from 242 times at bat in 88 games this season. It did not match the four-year, 4.6 billion won FA contract.
Basically, he is both defensive and strong in game management. However, Son Ah-seop said, “He said he wanted to learn it with the mindset of struggling for the last time before it's too late.” Son Ah-seop goes in mid-January, but Park Se-hyuk goes to LA a little faster.
The second KBO leaguer from Kang Jung-ho School is already sweating with Kang. It is Kim Jae-hwan (35, Doosan Bears). If Kim Jae-hwan and Park Se-hyuk, who have been suffering from hitting slumps in recent years, see the effect of Kang Jung-ho School, the number of extracurricular students could increase.
Kang Jung-ho also recently asked through his YouTube channel Kang Jung-ho_King Kang to contact any batter at any time if he has any concerns about hitting. He said he has no guarantee that he will solve it 100%, but he is confident in analyzing and persuading the reason for the slump and the future direction.
