“My dream is to make (Shin Min-jae) a Golden Glove second baseman.”
One of the wishes of LG Twins coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop this season was for Shin Min-jae to win the Golden Glove.
Shin Min-jae, who joined Doosan as a foster player in 2015, wore LG’s pinstripe uniform through the 2nd draft in 2018. In the meantime, he has been mainly active as a large runner, and until last year, he posted a batting average of 0.226, 12 RBIs and 22 stolen bases in 195 games in the first team.
This year, Shin Min-jae is showing off his more advanced skills. He acted as a major runner in the early stages, but when there was a vacancy at second base due to the sluggishness of existing resources such as Seo Geon-chang and Jung Joo-hyun, he took the position without missing the opportunity.
LG coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop, the commanding tower that I recently met, praised Shin Min-jae, who has recently improved not only in offense but also in defense. He said, “(Shin) Min-jae is improving the more he plays. He also improved his defense a lot,” he said. “I had a lot of trouble with coach Kim Il-kyung. He’s adapting in a quick amount of time,” giving his thumbs up.
Next, Director Yeom said, “Of course, I still have to develop the basic skills, and I am still doing it through training.” “I look forward to next year more than this year. He did not hide his anticipation, saying, “I wonder if he will continue to grow into a better player.”
Shin Min-jae has a batting average of 0.333 (49 hits in 147 at-bats), 17 RBIs, and an on-base percentage of 0.391 in 82 games before the game on the 15th. There was a period of time when he was a large runner in the early stages, so he could not fill the required at-bats, but in the last two games, multi-hits (2 hits in 5 at-bats, 3 RBIs against Jamsil Kiwoom Heroes on the 12th, 3 RBIs in 5 at-bats against Jamsil Kiwoom on the 13th, 3 hits in 6 at-bats, 2 RBIs, 2 steals) ) is showing off a good hitting feeling.
In addition, he leads the division with 27 stolen bases. Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop hoped that Min-jae Shin would win the Golden Glove in the second baseman category.
“My dream is to make Shin Min-jae a second baseman with a Golden Glove. Wouldn’t he get it if he plays the stealing king and hits 30%”. Director Yeom said.메이저사이트
Of course, if Shin Min-jae grows up to be a Golden Glove-winning player, LG’s power will also become stronger. Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop also said, “If Shin Min-jae (continues) grows, the team will have tremendous resources.” A catcher, shortstop, second baseman, center fielder, etc. must have either power or speed.”
