Coach Park Jin-man, who was called the ‘nation’s shortstop’ during his active years, said, “It’s amazing that a second-year shortstop can do as much as he does. He has become much more skillful and seasoned than last year,” and added, “There will be some physical pressure while playing many games this season, but I am overcoming it well. “He is building his own career well. I was not as experienced as Jaehyun Lee in my second year. I was very nervous, and Jaehyun Lee is much better than me.”
