After becoming a pitcher, he earned a salary in the hundreds of millions... Joo Hyun-sang and Yoon Dae-kyung “Opportunity, come at least once”

He debuted as a fielder and rose to prominence as a bullpen... 110 million won this season

This is something that professional baseball Hanwha Eagles reliever Joo Hyun-sang (31) and Yoon Dae-kyung (29) have in common.

Both of them failed to shine as fielders who began their professional careers.

Joo Hyun-sang joined Hanwha in the 2nd round, 64th overall, in 2015, but has not been given a chance since the second year.

Dae-Kyung Yoon entered the Samsung Lions in 2013 as the 65th ranked player, but was released while serving in the military in 2018 without making his debut in the first team.

The turning point was a change in position. https://www.casinositewiki.com

Hyunsang Joo converted to a pitcher at the 2019 closing camp after completing his military service.

His annual salary in 2020 was 33 million won, which was less than the previous year in 2017 (37 million won).

Dae-Kyung Yoon, who converted to a pitcher in Samsung's second team, went through the Japanese independent league and signed a contract with Hanwha for 28 million won, 1 million won more than the minimum salary in 2019.

The result of his desperate efforts to continue playing baseball was a ‘big hit’.

Joo Hyun-sang and Yoon Dae-kyung's 2024 season salary increased by 52 million won and 20 million won, respectively, compared to the previous year, reaching 110 million won.

Last year, Joo Hyun-sang played 55 games, 59⅔ innings, and had an ERA of 1.96, while Yoon Dae-kyung had an ERA of 2.45 in 47 games, 47⅔ innings.

The two, who are preparing for the 2024 season at the club's spring camp in Melbourne, Australia, shared their thoughts through the club.

Joo Hyun-sang said, “I am proud that my wife is satisfied and that I can serve as a basis for my child to say, ‘Dad worked hard.’

I wanted to play baseball more, so I switched to pitching, and I am proud to have achieved good results.”

He said proudly, "I really wanted to play baseball while watching the team's fall baseball game when I was working in the public service. https://www.foodntours.com/blog/638475

In the past, I trained with the thought of how I could play baseball better, but now I can play baseball while looking forward."

Dae-kyung Yoon said, “Now I have confidence that if I work hard, an annual salary of 200 million won can become a reality.”

He added, “The fact that I, who had been frustrated a lot, has gained this confidence is a harvest that goes beyond the annual salary.”

The two cheered with one voice their juniors who had not yet seen the light of day.

Joo Hyun-sang said, "I was 29 years old when I turned into a pitcher and trained with rookies in Seosan, and I trained with the mindset that I would not lose to 19-year-old juniors.

I think the fact that I worked hard and didn't lose sight of myself back then is helpful now." I remembered.

He then said, “I have experienced both the Incubating Group and the Futures Team, and I hope the young players do not give up.”

He added, “You can definitely make it to the first team, and you can get a chance by going through the losing group and the chasing group.”

Dae-kyung Yoon said, "Former coach Song Jin-woo advised me, 'You absolutely need a change-up,' so I dug into it every day for half a year as if I was studying the rest. It was hard to throw a box of change-ups every day, but now it's my new weapon."

“That’s it.” I looked back.

At the same time, he said to his juniors, "It's a vague statement, but if you don't give up, an opportunity will come at least once. https://www.liveinternet.ru/users/casinositewiki/post503622945/

I hope players who go through trial and error will not be frustrated and will use it as an opportunity to become stronger themselves."
