Hanwha general manager Sohn Hyuk praised Moon Hyun-bin (19), a rookie infielder this year. Director Sohn met with reporters at Bellbank Park in Mesa, Arizona, USA on the 14th (Korean time), where spring camp was being held, and said, “I rarely praise new players. I thought that the player seems to be playing baseball really desperately. He does his own thing with his smart eyes.
Moon Hyun-bin wore a Hanwha uniform with the 11th overall pick in the 2nd round in the 2023 rookie draft held last year. Moon Hyun-bin is small at 174 cm and 82 kg, but his bat skills are fierce. In the high school league last year, he showed a high-sensitivity batting average of 0.445. In addition, it is evaluated that he has quick feet and stable defensive skills. Moon Hyun-bin received a snow stamp at the finishing camp held in November of last year, and Moon Hyun-bin was selected as a surprise along with pitcher Kim Seo-hyun, who was nominated as the first overall in the 1st team spring camp.
Moon Hyun-bin is considered a vital force in this first-team camp. It’s early in the camp, but Moon Hyun-bin’s bat is turning fiercely. Senior beasts who confirmed his skills are praising him, saying, “A real thing came in.”
General manager Sohn said, “Of course, the current batting ball is hitting at a certain speed. However, in practice, it comes more accurately and faster than high school pitchers, and the breaking ball is more accurate and sharper. Obviously, it will be difficult to cope with it in the beginning. But If you adapt quickly out of nowhere, you can become a really good player.” 안전놀이터
In fact, it is compared to ‘picking the stars in the sky’ for a rookie to immediately take the starting spot that year. General manager Sohn explained, “If these players are pushed down by their seniors, the key is whether they will come back up. The same goes for Kim Seo-hyun and Moon Dong-ju. Our Futures coach is good at that. I believe in the system.”
