(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Kyung-yun = After a disaster, Choi In-ho (21) of the Hanwha Eagles, who wears the manager’s uniform, is determined to return with ‘mental recovery ability’.
Choi In-ho, after receiving the notification of acceptance as managing director on the 7th, said, “I was mentally exhausted after falling from managing director last year, but I’m glad that I succeeded in trying again this year.” I will focus,” he said.
Choi In-ho is a key prospect in the outfield fostered by Hanwha. In 2019, he recorded a batting average of 0.389 in 35 games in the Futures League, raising expectations.
Choi In-ho, who has a good pioneering vision and long hitting ability, is evaluated as having the ability to see a single starting position in the next three to four years.
Initially, Choi In-ho was going to serve in the military after finishing last season.
Hanwha embarked on an intensive rebuilding process ahead of this season, and Choi In-ho planned to join the team when the rebuilding process was completed to some extent.
However, Choi In-ho’s service plan was disrupted when he dropped out of the executive branch.
Choi In-ho said, “I was very disappointed at first, but I was able to learn a lot from coach Carlos Subero and batting coach Johnny Washington while staying with the club for one more year.”
He said, “In particular, coach Washington taught me a lot about attitude and mental management.
Meanwhile, Hanwha has urgently needed outfield resources with Choi In-ho’s military enlistment.
Hanwha suffered a severe outfield power shortage this season. As he released all the key players, his power fell, and foreign players were selected as infielders, and the free agent (FA) market failed to recruit outfielders.
In the next season, even Choi In-ho, who played as a backup, will join Sangmu.
