I’m going to make sure he hears that he’s still good.”

He was born in 1986 and is now 37 years old. There are only a handful of players in Lotte and the league at large who are older 메이저놀이터 than Jeon. It’s a time when a player who has been labeled as the most experienced player in the league shouldn’t be surprised if the curve of his career bends.

But even as he enters the twilight of his career, Jun-woo Jeon is living up to his promise by performing at the top of his game, both on the team and in the league. “I’m going to make sure that people say, ‘Oh, he’s still good,'” he said in spring training before the season.

As a result, he lost weight while strictly managing his diet, and although he had a brief slump, his performance rose to live up to the name ‘Jeon Jun-woo’.

While the team’s momentum and Jeon’s rise have not been in sync, the team’s batting cycle has been down in June, but Jeon has been able to hold on to the center of the lineup. In June, he is 4-for-7 (24-for-59) with three home runs, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, two doubles, and a 1.120 OPS. His monthly batting average ranks first behind Lee Jung-hoo (Kiwoom), and his 1.120 OPS is good enough for third place.

His hot streak in June pushed his season stats up to 3-for-2 (202-for-61) with six home runs, 30 RBIs, 32 runs scored, five doubles, and an OPS of .816. Beating out all of the younger players on the team, Jeon ranks first on the team in most of the hitting categories. He leads the team in batting average, doubles, home runs, RBI, runs scored, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, OPS, WAR, and home runs (5). In all 10 categories, Jeon’s name appears first. He’s tied for the most hits and RBIs with Ahn Chi-hong (33). He is fulfilling his promise to himself.

He’s been influential on and off the field, showing leadership as captain in 2021 and 2022, and he’s still got it. His outfield defense left something to be desired, and this year he is playing full-time as a designated hitter, but he has adapted to the change and is performing well.

Four years ago, in 2019, Jun-woo Jeon became a free agent for the first time. He was already in his mid-30s, but he was still productive, leading the league in hits in 2018 (190). His production was attractive, however, as he had a large impact on the team and leadership qualities, so Lotte and other teams were sure to be interested. However, in a free agent market that was unusually cold at the time, Jeon Jun-woo was oversubscribed and undervalued. The unfortunate circumstance that he had to serve in the military after graduating from college also contributed to his undervaluation. In the end, there were virtually no bids from other teams, and Lotte signed him for a relatively low price of 4.4 billion won ($3.4 million) without any competition.

Over the past four years, however, Jeon has continued 메이저사이트 추천 to showcase his southern-style production. While he hit just seven home runs in 2021, he still finished first in hits (192), first in doubles (46), and second in batting average (.348).

This year, as he approaches his second year of free agency, Junwoo Jeon continues to be competitive in the midst of a two-hit season. He’s older than he was four years ago and is now a full-time designated hitter who doesn’t play defense. How will his valuation of 3.4 billion won four years ago change, and will he be able to get his due in his second free agency?
