That's why I couldn't help but exclaim that this is why I brought him here. Infielder Shim Woo-joon of Hanwha left a strong first impression with three beats of ball, water, and liquor. It was enough to play just one game to see why the Eagles opened their wallet to bring him back. The athlete himself shouts "silence." He is wary of greed but armed with responsibility.
Shim Woo-joon became a free agent ahead of this season and signed a four-year contract worth up to 5 billion won (approx. After 10 years as a founding member of KT, Shim is now at a new starting line. His presence is getting clearer as time goes by. The opening game of the 2025 season held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on Tuesday is a testament to this. Coincidentally, Shim had a showdown with his mother-in-law KT. Shim Woo-joon, who had one hit, one RBI, one run and one stolen base from three times at bat, was by far the biggest contributor to Hanwha's victory.카지노
Above all, a sense of stability in defense is essential. The "Shim Woo-jun effect" had a significant impact on the entire infield field from the first game. Hanwha suffered from infield defense last year. With 71 errors, the team tied for third in the league along with SSG. Shortstop's presence was also weak. Lee Do-yoon, Ha Joo-seok, and Hwang Young-mook sought to become the starting pitchers, but they left regret for their own reasons.
As a result, Shim Woo-joon has been "guarded" by a huge sum of money since the opening of the stove league. Hanwha is gradually changing its defense line. In its first game since joining the club, favorable reviews have poured in.
However, Shim Woo-joon is setting a high standard for himself. "The defense was not neat," he said, looking back on himself. "Of course, if the fans approve of it, it is right to do well," he said, smiling, "I can do better. I will try to show better (defense) performance in the future."
The team is also brilliant at base running. Hanwha, which only ranked ninth (69) in stolen bases in the previous season, is also facing challenges to improve its mobility. In the opening match against KT, Shim Woo-joon succeeded in stealing four times. He also needs to show off his capability as a charging leader in the future. Shim, who is well aware of this, said, "The defense and base running must be consistent. That way, I can do my part. Rather than being greedy, I will aim to make a hit one by one in an important situation."
As much as Hanwha has high expectations for Shim, he also has high expectations for Hanwha. "The team is getting stronger. If the starting pitcher only takes charge of six innings, then (the players) will be able to make enough." Shim also takes his responsibility as a shortstop seriously. "I try not to put pressure on the pitchers (from defense) as much as possible," Shim said. "We need to focus on the batters so that the pitchers do not get swayed when the runner goes out."
I just took my first step. Shim Woo-joon is erasing the mysterious code that has been following since signing the FA contract one by one. A spectacular trailer, there is more to show in the future. I am curious about the performance of Hanwha's new field commander.
