Captain Park Hae-min's leadership is important.
With the LG Twins aiming for another championship ahead of the 2025 season, new captain Park Hae-min is at the center. Emphasizing his role as a captain, he said, "I will listen to the players' voices with an open mind and think about the direction the team should go."
LG's top priority is strengthening systematic training and teamwork through the spring camp. As a result, Park will play a role of facilitating communication among team members and positively leading the team atmosphere.
"I didn't expect to be elected captain..."I'll lead the team with responsibility"
It is also interesting how Park Hae-min became the captain. "I picked the captain at a dinner with the players after the end of the last season, and I didn't expect to be elected," he recalled. "I will lead the team with more responsibility as much as the team members trusted me and entrusted me," he said, renewing his commitment.
In particular, the fact that he has been silently playing his role since moving to LG seems to have been the background of the appointment of the captain. "I just did my best at LG, but I'm grateful that the players saw me and trusted me," he added.
"I will respect the opinions of the team members and make decisions together"
Park Hae-min cited communication with his team members as his most important role. "I will listen to anyone's opinion if it is a story that can develop the team, regardless of whether it is old or small," he said. "I think it is more important to think and make decisions with the players than to judge arbitrarily as a captain."
He also said, "It will be difficult to keep up with the delicate leadership that Oh Ji-hwan showed, but I will lead the team as well as I can in my own way." In fact, he showed extraordinary passion by moving to the U.S. before the team on January 10 to prepare for the season and starting personal training.
Park Hae-min's Leadership to Win LG's Back-to-back Championships
LG maintains a strong power, but the longer the season goes on, the more teamwork and atmosphere have a decisive effect on the performance. The role of the captain becomes more important in this area.
"This year is another season. The performance will depend on how you prepare for the season," Park said. "My role is to create an atmosphere where players can play comfortably without feeling pressured."
He also spoke frankly about his burden as a captain. "I would be lying if I said I have no burden at all, but I will focus more and create a good team atmosphere as I play an important role," he said.
"I'll make a season that fans can enjoy"
Park did not forget to thank his teammates for their support. "Kim Hyun-soo is holding firm on the batter's side, and (Oh) Ji-hwan takes care of the details. Catcher (Park) Dong-won is always good at his role, and (Im) Chan-gyu is good at leading the pitching staff," Park said, expressing his trust in his teammates.
In addition, he said, "I want to have fun with players and fans this season," and vowed, "I will go to the Korean Series with better performance than last year and perform well in the regular season." 바카라사이트
LG rose to the top of the KBO League in the 2024 season, establishing itself as a strong team. However, as competitors are actively strengthening their capacities, LG should also be thoroughly prepared internally. Expectations are high on how Park Hae-min's leadership will be displayed in the process and whether LG will be able to achieve consecutive wins.
