The stock price of Won Tae-in (23, Samsung), the ‘blue-blooded ace’, is soaring.
Won Tae-in, the only Samsung player to be selected for the WBC team, is receiving a lot of attention from the Japanese media as well as Korea. On the 11th and 12th, according to the schedule of the practice match against Chunichi Dragons, a request for an interview메이저놀이터 came in from the Japanese media.
It seems that Won Tae-in is attracting attention from the Japanese media because of his history of participating in international competitions held in Japan and the fact that he is a young selection of Lee Kang-cheol-ho in his 20s.
In 2018, when he was in his third year of high school, he participated in the Asian Youth Championship held in Miyazaki, Japan and won the championship. He made a relief mound in the game against Japan and contributed to a 3-1 victory. He was also selected for the Tokyo Olympics team led by coach Kim Kyung-moon.
He won 14 wins in 2021 and set a new record for the most wins in a single season, and last year he succeeded in hunting for 10 wins and won double-digit victories for the second year in a row.
Tae-in Won broadened his view of baseball by digesting his personal training in Miami, Florida, USA last month.
At a training center in Miami where Audrey Samer Despine, a foreign pitcher who played for KT until last year, lives, she prepared for this season with Ko Young-pyo and So-jun Sohn (above KT).
Despine, who had a great effect on speed improvement while training at the training center, introduced off-season training places and trainers to Koh Young-pyo and So-jun So-jun, and Won Tae-in, who has a strong friendship with So-jun So-jun, also participated.
At the time, I had the opportunity to personally watch the pitching of Aroldis Chapman (Kansas City Royals), a top firefighter in the major leagues, and Sandy Alcantara (Miami Marlins), who won the National League Cy Young Award last year, and ask for advice. He said, “I felt that I was a frog in the well. I thought I should work harder,” he said.
Having been selected for the WBC team, he said, “I am very proud to have the opportunity to participate in the WBC tournament, which is called the Great Baseball Festival. My biggest desire is to wash away the regrets of the Tokyo Olympics.”
Won Tae-in, who is a local boy and is called ‘blue-blooded ace’, is expected to earn the modifier ‘world star’ if he performs well in the WBC tournament.
