This year, LG Twins ‘captain’ Oh Ji-hwan had the best year ever. At the end of the year, the slopes overlapped.

Oh Ji-hwan, who made a hundred-year promise with bride Kim Young-eun in Seoul on the 4th, embraced the golden glove for the first time in his 14 years of professional debut five days later. It was the day he was finally recognized as the best shortstop in the league.

This year, Oh Ji-hwan led LG to second place in the regular season with batting average of .269, 25 homers and 87 RBIs in 142 games. He first joined the 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases club, a symbol of the Hotajun people. This was the 56th in KBO history.

It has been 23 years since Lee Byeong-gyu (30 homers, 31 stolen bases) from LG. Also, if it is limited to shortstop, it is also the fourth after Lee Jong-beom, Kang Jeong-ho, and Kim Ha-seong. It was an unforgettable December for Oh Ji-hwan, who jumped into the professional league wearing an LG uniform in 2009.

He said, “There are many good things, so it feels good. He also expressed his feelings, saying, “I hope that only good things will always happen.” He also promised, “I will help LG win the championship with the new coach and coach.” 메이저사이트

Then he said to his former teammates, “There’s nothing to look after on the pitch.”

LG changed a lot after the end of this season. Coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop was appointed as the 14th coach, and Oh Ji-hwan, who had worked for a long time at LG, left. Chae Eun-seong will wear the Hanwha Eagles uniform, Yoo Kang-nam the Lotte Giants, and Lee Hyeong-jong the Kiwoom Heroes uniform for the 2023 season.

Oh Ji-hwan said, “I like people more than I thought. It is not easy to let go because there is so much affection. However, I will somehow grit my teeth against the three teams I meet as opponents.”

He also said, “A good friend is only outside. I don’t see anything while playing. We will do our best unconditionally. I told the players on our team to make a strong decision.”

LG recorded 87 wins this year, the highest number of wins in the club’s history, but was blocked by Kiwoom in the playoffs and was unable to step on the stage of the Korean series they had been aiming for since 2002.
