Veteran pitcher Jeong Chan-heon (33) is currently missing a free agent. Kiwoom, the original club, announced a breakup with Jeong Chan-heon early on.
I haven’t received any love calls from other teams yet.토토사이트
The opening season is now approaching. It can be said that the possibility of Jeong Chan-heon signing a contract before the start of the season is extremely low. It is not awkward to be called a lost FA now.
However, there is a prospect that Jeong Chan-heon will not be able to save the team until the end. There is no club that feels the need yet, but as time goes by, there will be clubs that want to buy Jeong Chan-heon’s experience.
Team A’s scouting team leader said, “Now is the time to notice the spirit of young players. It is only natural that the ball has power and speed. There are a lot of really good players out there. However, as the season progresses, its power is often halved. If you try to stick only by force, you will end up getting hurt more often. The competition for the 4th and 5th selection is fierce, and if you try to fill the positions with only young players, there is a high possibility that you will have a difficult situation. I think there will definitely be a club that needs the experience of Jeong Chan-heon, who has been through all of the prenatal battles. If our team enters the season and the starting rotation does not work properly, we can reach out to Jeong Chan-heon.”
As team leader A said, after the spring camp and during the exhibition games, it can be said that each team has more hope.
There are many cases where the strong pitching of promising players stands out more. It’s even more so in a league that doesn’t give a lot of points to veteran experience like our baseball.
However, one cannot sustain a season with only spirit and strength. You need to know how to manage your body, and you also need to know how to get back in a match with a hitter.
This is why it is difficult for veterans to blindly turn away if they can achieve a certain level of performance.
Jeong Chan-heon’s average fastball speed last year stayed at 137.8 km. He could be said to be behind the speed-up era these days.
However, he cannot evaluate everything only with restraint. Jeong Chan-heon has the know-how to solve the game.
He recorded 27 saves as a closer and is an experienced pitcher who won 9 wins as a starter even though he was only 10 days old. He could be said to have his utility either way.
Team leader A said, “When we open, there will be injuries and sluggish players. Even in clubs with well-organized starting rotations, preparations are always necessary. The value of a veteran pitcher who is guaranteed a certain level of performance shines at that time. After the season begins, an atmosphere in which the know-how of veterans is valued can be formed. Jeong Chan-heon should aim for such a time. He sees it as a very good decision to continue his preparations at an independent league club. However, his ransom will have to make a lot of concessions. In order to overcome the barrier of the salary cap, Jeong Chan-heon’s sacrifice is necessary.”
Can there be a club that wants to buy Jung Chan-heon’s know-how? Considering that each year there are teams that struggle because of the starting rotation, it can be said that it is not a very unlikely story.
However, it is a question of when, but if Jeong Chan-heon does not give up and is playing his own baseball, it seems that an opportunity can come at least once.
Chan-Heon Jeong’s persistence and pitching know-how will be the key to calling Chan-Heon Jeong back to the ground.
