"I put it all down."

Eom Sang-baek (28) had a bad start to the season, which was "the best ever." He only had one win and six losses in a total of seven games through April. He played five or more innings in all five games that he played in April, but hardly achieved victory.

It is a more important time than ever for Um Sang-baek. When he finished the season normally, he had to show his best performance as he became an FA.

Um said, "I was wondering if I couldn't apply for an FA. But I was able to do better when I let go of my key. I think I just played every game and hit the batters well and followed their luck."

Um Sang-baek, who "put down," rebounded perfectly. While playing in rotation as a starter this season, he recorded 13 wins and 10 losses with an ERA of 4.88. He also completed the first innings of regulation since his debut.

After the end of the season, he exercised his FA qualification and eventually signed a four-year contract with Hanwha for a total of 7.8 billion won.

What many players dream of as a "FA jackpot." Um was calm. "There are some good things, but I think I have to be good as much as I was treated well," he said. "I'm trying to be that good."

Ahead of his FA contract, Um once swallowed his disappointment. He even joined the Premier 12 national team in training, but failed to make the final entry.

"It's too bad. It reminds me of what I said with the late Young-pyo a year ago. I said, "I'm tired" after the season ended, but I thought, "What's tiring?" To be honest, he moved between starting and saving in 2022, and he couldn't finish the season in 2023 due to ill health. I'm tired this year," he said. "I didn't perform well when training for the national team."

Um Sang-baek came to Miyazaki, Japan, the final camp of Hanwha, on the 18th to greet the team. He signed a contract as an FA player, but his contract with KT remains until November. He can't train, but he got to know the team and spend time. Um Sang-baek said, "I'm grateful that the coach called me to get close to him. I think it would have been awkward if I saw a player in the departure of the spring camp. I think it's a good opportunity," and added, "I'll talk a lot and get close to him." 메이저놀이터

"I want to get to know the players who are in the starting lineup," he said. "I will take good care of myself. If I get sick, I don't exercise much and tend to take a downward spiral. I will make sure to balance well," he said, vowing to play a key role in Hanwha's starting lineup.
