They had won a lot recently and were my favorite team. “I am honored to be selected by such a team and to play for such a historic club.”- What do you need to prepare for when coming to the major league? “Adapting to a new environment is a big task. You have to adapt to new pitchers, environment, and baseball stadium. In Korea, you always travel by bus, but (in the big leagues) you travel by plane, and the time difference is different. I think I need to prepare well so I can adapt to these things quickly.”-What are you looking forward to ahead of the first season? “Early this year, I toured an American baseball stadium during Kiwoom’s spring training. This was my first time coming to Oracle Park since then. “I’m looking forward to it because it’s my first time at every stadium.” -Is there anything you learned from your father, Lee Jong-beom? “I didn’t learn anything from a baseball perspective. From my father, I learned character and things that could help me grow into a good person. He learned how to act when a player is doing well.” -What are you looking forward to playing at Oracle Park? “In Korea, I played in the dome stadium (Kiwoom’s home stadium), so it’s nice to play in the natural grass home stadium. The famous splash hit (a home run in which a batted ball falls into the sea outside the walls of Oracle Park) is expected at this unique baseball stadium. -I had ankle surgery, but what is my physical condition? ”That part has completely recovered 100%. There are many people who helped me during my rehabilitation, so I have to show a good performance next season for them as well. “- I met Ha-seong Kim (San Diego Padres) as an enemy. Did you talk about it after signing the contract? ”Ha-seong played as a teammate in Korea, and he was my spiritual support. From the time his older brother was in Korea, he gave me a lot of good words, which helped me dream big. He is surprised and excited to face each other after leaving behind the days when they played together. “ - When introducing yourself to your fans. ”He’s young. Because I am young, I think my prime has not yet arrived, and I think I can further develop my skills here. He is a player who always strives to become a player who can bring victory to our team, and is ready to do his best and pour everything in to help our team win.”- What kind of player are you in attack and defense?”I’m embarrassed to say it with my own mouth. I hope fans will evaluate it if we show it starting from next year’s opening game. “-Your contact ability is good. ”Ever since I was young, when I thought about what I could do better than others, it was guessing well. You have to be able to make a full swing, not just hit it. A strikeout means walking away without doing anything, but if you hit the ball on the ground, you never know what might happen. I think I've gotten better at contact because I've thought that way since I was young. -How did you get the nickname ‘Grandson of the Wind’? “His father’s nickname during his active service was Son of the Wind, and when he was born, he naturally became the grandson of the Wind. “When I was playing in Korea, the phrase ‘grandson of the wind’ was a bit cringy, but it was cool when I said it in English.” -Is he faster than his father? “My father is really fast. He can win now. “If you ask him to play at his age, he will never win.” - He said he came to San Francisco when he was young. “When I was in the third year of middle school, I came to play for the national team. He came to play.” -What do you usually do when you’re not playing baseball? 고스톱
