"New Face 1 Pick" Lewis' overflowing spirit

Can it be the hope of KEPCO.

The 2024 KOVO men's foreign player tryout and draft, organized by the Korea Volleyball Federation KOVO, was completed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on the 11th.

Those who move around are Yosvani Hernandez in the arms of Korean Air and Leonardo Leyva in the uniform of Hyundai Capital. However, there is a name that should be remembered in the midst of chaos. It is KEPCO's Luis Elian Estrada who beat outstanding competitors and became the first to be nominated as the "New Face."

As an outside heater from Cuba, he caught the attention of all concerned from the first day of the tryout. He was rated as the best in attack based on his robust swing and high RBI, adding elastic jump to his physical condition of 2 meters 1 meter. He can also play "Apogit Spiker," which maximizes his strengths, and is even young as he was born in 2000.

The result has been revealed. Coach Kwon Young-min of Korea Electric Power Corporation, who is seeking his fourth nomination as a player, called Lewis without hesitation. Ahead of him were Yosvani Korean Air, Leo Hyundai Capital, and Andres Villena, who renewed his contract with KB Insurance. As such, he had unique presence.

"I was the first player among the new players. He is a player who can energize my team," Kwon said with satisfaction. "If you get a higher order, you will definitely go to Lewis. You have a completely different level of skills. There is no reason to reject it," said Kim Cheol-soo, head of KEPCO.

Lewis, who signed the contract while wearing a KEPCO uniform, said, "I worked really hard in the tryout. It was only a short time to show my best, but I did my best. As soon as my name was called, I was both thankful and proud of myself. I had mixed feelings."

He is from Latin America and is young, but he has a unique personality as he melds with the V-League. He himself said, "I heard that Korea values manners and order. I also highly value those values." Coach Kwon also gave a thumbs up by delivering an episode in which he said, "Lewis asked me, 'Can I take my girlfriend to Korea? I felt that he was an extraordinary foreign player."

That's how sincere he is about adapting to Korea. Lewis said, "When I go to another country, I usually don't know the system and culture of that country. That's why we need to have respect. We need to learn things we don't know by asking politely." A club official said, "I've never seen such a foreign player. I think I picked him so well."

All he has to do is show his skills. He also needs to compete with his seniors Leo and Yosvani for the title of the "Second Cuban Express." "I have respect for all the foreign players I will face in the future," Lewis said. "However, it is different from the moment I enter the court. I just want to beat everyone I face. I will do my best to show everything I do."
