The “blue-blooded ace” Won Tae-in (Samsung), as he’s known, hails from Samrin.
The second son of former Gyeongbokjung baseball coach Won Min-koo, he played with bats and gloves instead of toys from a young age. At the age of six, he was introduced on local television as a “baseball prodigy.
Shortly after Won’s nomination, former head coach Hong Jun-hak said, “The first round of nominations for 2019 had already been decided 10 years ago. I wondered what kind of person he would be, but he has grown well as expected.” Having realized his childhood dream, Won Tae-in, also known as “Uncle Motae,” has a strong desire to become a member of the Lions’ One Club.
In February 2022, Guzauk signed a multi-year contract with Samsung for a maximum total of $12 billion over five years. 카지노사이트 Samsung pushed for a multi-year contract because they believed that he had the skills and leadership to be the centerpiece of the team in the future.
At the time,
Won Tae-in said, “I’m so jealous of him. I thought he was cool. As a player, it’s very important to become a free agent, but to give that up and sign a multi-year contract is impossible without love and loyalty to the team. I felt that he really loved the team,” he said.
“I wish I had that opportunity. It’s true that (a multi-year deal) seems far away right now, but I think it could happen at some point. As a franchise star, I can’t wait for the day when I can sign such a contract.”
Won, who has been a staple of Samsung’s starting lineup for years, received military service benefits after winning a gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games. At this point, he’s a prime candidate for a multi-year contract.
KT’s Ko Young-pyo, who is very close to Won Tae-in’s seniority, agreed to the club’s first non-free agent multi-year contract. It’s worth up to 10.7 billion won ($9.5 billion guaranteed, $1.2 billion option) over five years.
“Young-pyo Ko is our best franchise star and the centerpiece of our pitching staff. We signed him to a multi-year, non-free agent contract because he is an inspiration to our younger pitchers. We look forward to having him as our ace for years to come.”
Ko Young-pyo said
“I am grateful to the club for giving me a contract with good terms. I am very happy to be able to continue my career as a founding member of KT for a long time, and I will continue to take the mound with responsibility so that the team can enjoy the fans with championships.”
Ko’s multi-year contract must have been a bit of a boost for Won Tae-in, too.
“I talked to Young-pyo on the phone and congratulated him. He said, ‘You should do (a multi-year contract) too. I love the team at Samsung. 카지노사이트 After the talk of going overseas, many people told me not to leave Samsung. For me, Samsung is my priority. If a good offer comes my way, I will think about it positively,” he said honestly.
