Last year's professional baseball Korean Series was a stage where Kang Min-ho (39, Samsung Lions) took off the label of "the longest active Korean Series experience."

Jeon Jun-woo (38, Lotte Giants), who watched the scene, says he was honestly jealous.

"My best friend," who had been in the same team for a long time at Lotte, achieved his dream of the Korean Series at Samsung, but it is a goal that has yet to be achieved for Jeon Jun-woo.메이저놀이터

Before leaving for Taiwan, a training site, through Incheon International Airport on the 24th, Jeon Jun-woo met with reporters and said, "Minho's Korean Series is a very celebratory thing. I went and saw him do so well, but there's no way we can't do it."

Lotte is a team that has a lot of 恨 in fall baseball.

Since 1992, he has not won the Korean Series, and his last advance to the Korean Series was in 1999.
In the late 2000s, it emerged as an emerging powerhouse, but it was only once in 2017 that he took the fall baseball stage for 12 seasons from 2013 to last year.

Jeon Jun-woo, a franchise star who has been with Lotte since his professional debut in 2008 when Lotte was revived, is a living witness who has watched all the rise and fall of the giant corps.

Jeon said, "Players know best what we need to do. They will do well on their own even if they don't say anything. We are longing too much for fall baseball and our fans want it. We will focus only on winning."

Jeon Jun-woo, who was born in February 1986, was 40 years old this year due to his "counting age."

It is not difficult to find a player in his 40s now, but it is unusual to be a captain like Jeon Jun-woo at a time when he is only focusing on his own baseball.

This means that Jeon Jun-woo has a large portion of the team.

Jeon Jun-woo said, "I think I should ease the burden on my younger brothers. I'm a little bit more tired, and I thought it would be better for my younger brothers to concentrate on baseball, so I decided that way."

"(The captain) I think this will be his last year. There are many players from other teams, and if I want to be a good fit for Lotte, I have to lead the team well to improve the team's atmosphere and performance," he added.

"Age is just a number," says Jeon Jun-woo, the team's oldest member.

Still, Jeon Jun-woo is the player who boasts the best slugging power in the team.

"I lost about a month last year and hit 17 home runs. As long as I don't get hurt, I think I will pass 20 this year," Jeon said. "Age doesn't matter as long as I don't have physical ability. I don't think I can realize it."

Since Lee Dae-ho (42) retired, Choi Hyung-woo (41, KIA Tigers) has made Jeon Joon-woo a "lighthouse."

Jeon Jun-woo said, "Looking at Hyung-woo, I get good influences and synergy. There is a big supporting player in the team. I want to play that role at Lotte. I hope my juniors will be influenced a lot by me."

Jeon Jun-woo advised the fielder juniors who showed good performance last season not to be satisfied and to try harder.

"Last year was just a bad time for our team, so I don't think much about it. Pitchers don't worry," he said. "Batters should do better. Since we did well last year, other teams will analyze more and dig into our weaknesses. We need to prepare more and make more efforts."
