Samsung’s 36-year-old catcher Kang Min-ho is continuing his career forgotten. It is said that there is a so-called'FA Lloyd' effect for players who are ahead of free agency.
This is reporter Lee Seong-hoon.
<Reporter> On the
night of the 17th, Kang Min-ho defeated LG’s patron saint Ko Woo-suk in a two-out at the beginning of the ninth, and broke the final double in the reversal.
By hitting a high-speed ball of 154 km/h, it secured Samsung's lead.
[Kang Min-ho/Samsung catcher: I thought how to hit this ball, so I bet with the idea of hitting the ball correctly at the end, but I think I was lucky enough to hit the finals.]
This season, in 18 years of pro, Kang Min-ho's performance is phenomenal.
Most of the catchers are on the verge of returning to their heyday at the age of 36 when they are on the verge of retirement.
He is leading the growth of young pitchers such as Won Tae-in, Lee Seung-min and Lee Seung-hyun with a stable pitching lead and catching pitch.
This year, when I became the father of three children, the situation to get my third free agency status is definitely a great motivation, but
[Kang Min-ho/Samsung Catcher: (Childcare) is difficult. The difference between the two and the three seems enormous. I'll do my best because my dad buys me toys only when I earn money.]
Kang Min-ho emphasizes that there is a more important reason than FA.
[Kang Min-ho/Samsung Catcher: When I'm wearing a uniform, many people call my name on the ground and I want to feel this one more year, so I'll try to show you a fun baseball.]
