An official of a team's training team said, "Some hitters who are showing good performance in the military athletic unit (Sangju) will show good performance in the first division after their discharge from the military this year. They say the overall atmosphere of hitting has changed even before joining the military. "This year's Futures League is quite a ride. Pitchers are having a hard time," the official said. "I wonder if players like Han Dong-hee had such dominant hitters in the second division these days. I can't think of three to four years."토토사이트
The best Futures League player this year is Han Dong-hee (26), Lotte's flagship player. Han Dong-hee, who has been drawing attention as a major player since her high school days, made her professional debut by receiving Lotte's first nomination in 2018. Some say that her strength is mostly reminiscent of Lee Dae-ho's childhood in that she was born in Kyungnam High School, third baseman, and right-handedness. Lotte also fully endorsed Han Dong-hee, and it is true that Han Dong-hee took the position through her skills, and the expectations of the club and fans remain.
However, the past year or two before joining the military was not good enough. Han Dong-hee hit 17 home runs in 2020 and 2021, respectively, and although the number of home runs decreased slightly in 2022, he hit a batting average of .307 for the first time. Fans had high expectations that it would be time for a combined batting average of 300 and 20 home runs. However, he suffered a severe slump as he only hit 0.223 with five home runs and 32 RBIs in 108 games in 2023. Rather, his performance went back to what it was before 2020.
Eventually, after consulting with the club, he decided to join the army based on his future, and he passed the application for Sangmu in the middle of the 2024 season and began his military service. He will be discharged from the military in the winter of 2025, and will return to Lotte Power in 2026.
Han Dong-hee, however, garnered high expectations from fans by showing good performance in the Futures League last year. However, the difference between the first and second teams is clear, and some say that Han Dong-hee, who has already played full time in the first team,'s record in the second team is not meaningful. There are many cases where players are not able to play due to physical illness or illness right after joining the military, and the fact that he plays healthy was a reference material.
However, his performance in this year's Futures League is a little different. No matter how much he is in the second division and how far the official ball flies from the first division, this will remain in the history of the Futures League. In 44 Futures League games this year, Han has posted a batting average of 0.420, 17 homers, 59 RBIs, on-base percentage of 0.500, on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.776, and OPS of 1.276. Given that he was a sample of 44 games and 174 times at bat, he was not just lucky.
In terms of batting speed and distance, they are unrivalled. There is a reason why second-tier officials say, "Aaron Judge of the Futures League." The accuracy is also high, but the hits that hit the ball are severe. If you look at the data, you can read this power right away.
The number of hits caught on the "Trackman" radar, which is the official speed measurement platform of the KBO League and provides tracking data to nine KBO League clubs, is astonishing. Trackman radar is currently also installed in the second-tier stadium, and Han Dong-hee's average batting speed of 146 second-tier hits this year reaches 151.5 kilometers per hour. With the average batting speed exceeding 140 kilometers per hour on the basis of the first team, Han Dong-hee's batting speed is explosive. The average batting speed at the effective angle (between -10 and 50 degrees) reached 160 kilometers.
The flying distance of home run balls is also huge. There were 12 balls with a flying distance of 125 meters or more, and seven balls with a flying distance of 130 meters or more. The longest driving distance was 139.4 meters, which was recorded on April 26.
Of course, there are quite a lot of ground balls, and the average speed of hitting tends to increase in this area. It should also be taken into account that the team is not in the first division but in the second division. Nevertheless, given that 17 home runs have been hit, it is hard to disparage the speed of batting this year. With the team fully preheating ahead of its return to the team next year, Lotte is dreaming of becoming a third baseman who can hit .300 and 20 home runs at the same time. Such a third baseman is not easy to find in the FA market, and the value of the FA is enormous. Considering the fact that power is added to the team that never existed and that Lotte's batting power is lacking, Han Dong-hee has become a player who has no choice but to wait for everything.
