Injury pay difference last year
At the end of 2020, Zhang Zhihao signed a three-year contract with his brother with an average monthly salary of 750,000. However, due to injuries in the first two years of the contract, he played less than 50 games. Although he was the only one in the team to hit double digits in home runs last year, In early October, he suffered a fracture in his elbow while fielding, and he only played 79 games in total. It is understood that Zhang Zhihao is still negotiating the details of the new contract with the team. When asked about the progress yesterday, team leader Liu Zhiwei only responded that “everything is still under discussion”, but the salary deduction should not be small.
Zhang Zhihao was often dissatisfied with his results due to injuries. He bluntly said that if he played less games, it would be useless to hit more home runs. He also said: “Every year, I hope to be healthy, but I fail to achieve it. This year, my physical condition is still maintained. This is a topic. Your physical condition changes greatly throughout the year, so how to adjust is still a task.”
However, Zhang Zhihao is expected to return to the outfield defense area this year. Last spring training, he practiced first base due to lineup needs. However, due to the strong joining of Chen Junxiu this season, brother coach Hirano Keiichi revealed that Zhang Zhihao is currently focusing on the outfield. Zhang Zhihao pointed out that although he practiced more first base last year, overall it did not affect the adjustment pace of spring training. This year, he only used the time he spent practicing first base last year to practice more hitting.
Young general Huang Junlin fights to stand firm
The brothers’ outfield positions are fierce, and the 35-year-old Zhang Zhihao still has to compete with his 20-year-old brother Huang Junlin and others. Hirano also took the opportunity to encourage the team, “Every practice is a test meeting.” Hirano believes that at this stage, he still has We expect all players to perform well, but it is difficult to evaluate individuals. Huang Junlin had a batting average of 337 in the second army last year, and only experienced 1 game in the first army at the end of the season. He hopes to break through himself this year. His goal is not just to join the first army, but to maintain stability in the first army.
The brothers will train with games after the Lunar New Year, including warm-up matches with the Korean Vocational Training Heroes on the 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th, and an exchange match with the Yomiuri Giants at the Dome on March 2nd.
