Shin Min-jae (29) is the LG Twins' biggest income in professional baseball last year.

After joining the Doosan Bears as a nurturing player in 2015, he only moved to the second division and wore an LG uniform through the second draft in 2018.카지노사이트

He, who also played only as a pinch runner or a logistical guard at LG, has been reborn as a "prince" since Yeom Kyung-yeop took office in 2023.

He played with a batting average of 0.277 in 122 games in 2023 by increasing his playing time, and last season, he left 128 games with a batting average of 0.297 while completely solidifying his position as the main second baseman.

With his fast feet, he succeeded in 37 steals in 2023 and 32 steals in 2024, becoming the core of Yeom's "running baseball."

Thanks to this, Shin Min-jae was selected as a member of the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Premier 12 national team held in November last year.

The backup infielder, who was not even nominated at the time of joining the team, succeeded in a "human victory" to wear the national flag for the first time in 10 years.

Shin Min-jae, who met LG at Scottsdale Indian School Park Ballpark in Arizona, USA, on the 20th (Korea time), looked back on the performance of the Arizona camp, saying, "I'm trying to find a sense. At the end of the Arizona camp, the sensory part came up, and it's important to make it in a state where you can play in hitting and defense.

Shin Min-jae played in the Premier 12 last year, so he couldn't rest until the end of November.

He said, "There is no big difference. Rather, after working out at the camp, I felt faster after playing baseball for another month. I don't feel pressured about my physical strength."

On this day, LG began training to recover its senses in real life with the match between Blue and White.

Shin Min-jae attempted to steal second base, which is rare in the match against Cheongbaek, and succeeded neatly.

When Cohen Win (Australia), who LG called to the camp as an invited player in preparation for the Asian quarter next year, was on the mound, Shin said, "I ran because I wanted to check my senses as I had never seen this pitcher before. It was better than I thought." (The catcher) Lee Ju-heon's throw was also accurate, which resulted in a scene similar to the actual game."

Shin Min-jae played as a bottom batting order or table setter last season.

The batting average of 0.297 made with fast feet and contact ability was also excellent, but the on-base percentage was even better with 0.401.

Throughout the season, he struck out only 47 and drew 64 walks, which stood out.

"Tall players like (Hong) Chang-ki and (Kim) Hyun-soo were often hit by high balls, but short players like me or Moon Sung-joo were not much different," Shin said. "I have established my (strike) zone by hitting behind Chang-ki. I am learning a lot from him."

The batting order said there was no big difference whether it was No. 2 or No. 9.

"Just because I was a second hitter last year, I didn't hit far or hard, but I focused on connecting to the back," Shin said. "If I go out as No. 2, Austin Dean is behind me, and if I go out as No. 9, Chang-ki is behind me, it's just different."

Shin's first goal this season is to play in many games without getting hurt.

"I want to play close to 140 games and play more than 1,000 innings in defense. That's how I spent a season without getting sick," he said.

Shin Min-jae, who had a happy time with the Premier 12 baseball team last year, also carefully expressed his greed for next year's World Baseball Classic (WBC).

"I do want to play again. I want to play baseball well this year. Since we have a lot of good players, we can improve our skills by hitting the ball that we've never seen before," he said. "It's fun to play with other players when we defend."
