"I never thought I would leave Hanwha again."

The KBO League Secondary Draft was held on the 22nd. The Lotte Giants selected veteran infielder Oh Sun-jin (34) from the Hanwha Eagles in the second round. It was a surprise "pick" that no one saw coming.

When we caught up with Oh over the phone shortly after the second round, he was very confused. He moved to the Samsung Lions through a trade, then became a free agent at the end of last year and returned to his hometown team, Hanwha.

He signed a 1+1 year contract for a total of 400 million won. Another parting of the ways within a year.

He thought he would retire from Hanwha, where he started his professional career in 2008.

"I expected to be removed from the 35-player protected list," Oh said. But I never thought he would go to another team. I'm stunned. I can't think of anything." 호텔카지노

Back with Hanwha, Oh played in 90 games this season, batting .233 (38-for-165) with 14 RBIs and 17 runs scored. He started as a backup in the infield and was the starting shortstop early in the season.

He thrived as a utility infielder before a hamstring injury sidelined him.

He signed a one-year, 1+1 million won contract, and will be leaving after helping his hometown team until the end.

Han will receive 300 million won in compensation for his second-round pick from Lotte. It's more than his salary. After sending free agent Ahn Chi-hong to Hanwha, Lotte will be able to cover the infield gap with Oh Sun-jin.

Despite being a veteran past his prime, Oh proved to be valuable in the second round of the draft. Ironically, he proved to be useful as an infielder.

Hanwha manager Son Hyuk said, "I feel bad that Oh Seon-jin was transferred."

Oh Sun-jin is now a Lotte player.
