Professional baseball SSG Landers players will set big goals this season and try to return to autumn baseball.바카라사이트

SSG tied fifth-ranked KT with 72 wins, two draws and 70 losses and a .507 winning rate last season, but lost in the fifth-place match to rank sixth in the league. It aims to advance to the postseason once again this year.

After the first spring camp in Vero Beach, Florida, the U.S., SSG will return to Korea on Wednesday after the second spring camp in Okinawa, Japan. "We came to Japan after the first Florida spring camp, and the second camp seemed to give good motivation to the players through the games. The younger players showed good performance, and the veteran players who joined the team from Kagoshima also showed good physical fitness, which made me all the more satisfied. I think it will be an opportunity for the players to gain confidence as the parts we prepared and planned since the off-season last year have led to the results." Pitcher Song Young-jin and fielder Ko Myung-joon were named MVP of the camp.

This season, SSG players have set big goals with confidence since the spring camp. Jung Joon-jae, who is entering his second year of this year, started the campaign with his goal. "I want to hit .300 this year like last year. I don't know how long I will play in the game, but I want to hit .300 and steal more bases. I have 50 goals. I think we need to set big goals. As long as we don't get hurt, I think we can do it," Jung said, expressing confidence.

Ko, who is expected to play as the main first baseman this year, said, "I always try not to get hurt because I got hurt again last year. I want to finish this season without getting hurt again this year. And I think first basemen should hit 30 home runs and 100 RBIs. I want to achieve that goal, too."

Jihoon Choi, the main center fielder who heard Jung Joon-jae's goal of stealing 50 and Ko Myung-joon's goal of hitting 30 home runs, said, "It's really good. But it's not easy. Last year, we hit the same number of home runs (11) and set the goal of hitting 30 home runs. Still, it's cool to see the players set the goal confidently and start the game. I wasn't like that. I said I would hit one more this year, but young players targeted 20 to 30 right away, which is amazing." He added, "I think I should hit about 40 (batting rate)."

Closing pitcher Cho Byung-hyun is aiming to become a full-time closing pitcher for the first time this year, but his goal is amazing. "I always have the goal of being the save king," Cho said. "I think I should do one or two more than senior players." When asked if he will save the most in his team, he said with confidence, "The bigger the goal, the better."

Major shortstop Park Sung-han said, "If we hit .400, .300, and 30 home runs, our team will definitely win the title. I want to hit 20 or 30 home runs and steal 20, 30 home runs. Then, all of our teams have to go to the Major League." When asked about his goal of 20 home runs and 20 steals, Park said, "I think it's just a dream. Still, I think it's because players have a desire to do better. That's why I have high expectations for our team this season."

Kim Min, who will wear the SSG uniform through the trade, will play the role of a must-winner this season. "My goal this year is to continue to play as a must-win group," Kim said. "And our goal is to win. I don't have a winning ring. I was in the military when KT won the championship. I want to not only participate in fall baseball, but also contribute to the championship. When Choi Jeong and (Kim) Kwang-hyun are present, I want to wear one more ring. I also have that wish because I am from Incheon. If I win, hold, and save about 30 times in total, I will be able to win the Korean Series," he said, vowing his ambition to challenge to win the Korean Series.
