Kiwoom Russell was training with Lee Jung-hoo and Lee Hyeong-jong at the ‘2023 Spring Camp’ held at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick in Arizona, USA on the 2nd (Korean time), and suddenly moved with an interpreter to the front of the excellent hall behind the batting gauge.
Russell said, “Here’s a scorpion. I’ll show you.” But the scorpion Russell had spoken of was nowhere to be seen.
As if embarrassed, he tried to open the lid of the rain coffin next to him again, but the cover of the rain coffin was firmly locked. Russell said regretfully, “I’m sure there will be,” and turned his steps back to the betting gauge.
Compared to three years ago, his body was bulked up, but Russell’s playfulness and pure heart remained the same. Russell is said to have increased his size and reduced his bat weight to power up.
In the 2023 season Kiwoom, he expressed his determination to set his goal as “I will hit 30 home runs, which is more than Puig.”
The 29-year-old Russell joined the KBO League mid-season three years ago as a substitute foreign player for Taylor Motors, but had a .254 batting average, two homers, 31 RBIs and 22 runs scored in 65 games.
After failing in the KBO league, he succeeded in making a comeback in the Mexican league and signed a contract with Kiwoom for the 2023 season. 메이저사이트
