Will a ‘Korean Hero’ duo be born?
Although the season is out due to injury, interest in Lee Jeong-hoo (Kiwoom Heroes) in the United States is still strong.
Will Lee Jeong-hoo get to have a meal with Kim Ha-seong (San Diego Padres), the baseball senior he follows the most?
Trade Rumors (MLTR), which provides major league news, predicted a high possibility of San Diego’s signing of Lee Jeong-hoo, saying, “Although Lee Jung-hoo is out for the season due to ankle surgery, he will challenge for a major league posting this winter as scheduled.”
This is why interest is focused on the birth of the ‘Korean Hero’ duo. The two are close seniors and juniors who played together for Heroes from 2017 to 2020. Ha-seong Kim has established himself as one of the best infielders in the Major League this year. If a team can take care of Lee Jeong-hoo rather than just give him advice on his challenge to the American stage, it could be a way to further increase Lee Jeong-hoo’s chances of success.
San Diego, like LA, is considered one of the places with the best weather in the United States. It is also an appropriate time for domestic baseball fans to watch TV broadcasts.
However, the key point is that Fernando Tatis Jr. and Juan Soto are responsible for both wings, so they must play center field, and there are many superstars who have signed long-term contracts, such as Yu Darvish, Manny Machado, and Xander Bogaerts.먹튀검증
If San Diego cannot offer enough money for Lee Jeong-hoo, reuniting with Kim Ha-seong, weather, and time zone are certainly attractive cards that San Diego can offer.
Previously, The Athletic, a sports media outlet, also expressed strong interest in the possibility of Kim Ha-sung reuniting with Lee Jung-hoo. It has been said that San Diego is a strong destination candidate for Lee Jung-hoo. Ha-seong Kim said in an interview with the San Diego Tribune last July, “I want to play on the same team as Jeong-hoo Lee again. He is a great player who has the conditions to succeed in the major leagues. I will help him focus only on baseball. It would be great if we could play together.” I have conveyed my true feelings.
Meanwhile, Kang Jeong-ho is another ‘hero’ who entered the major league stage before Kim Ha-seong. He gave the example of Bae Ji-hwan (Pittsburgh Pirates) on his YouTube channel and advised, “If Lee Jeong-hoo wants to succeed in the major leagues, he should study English hard rather than use an interpreter so that he can quickly become friends with the players and adapt to the culture.”
