Kim Hyun-soo, captain of the Korean WBC baseball team, especially prayed for the health of Park Byeong-ho and Kang Baek-ho among many national team players.
On the 24th (hereinafter referred to as Korean time), Kim Hyun-soo started as the left fielder for the WBC match against KT Wiz held at Kino Sports Complex in Tucson, Arizona, USA, and checked his senses with 1 hit and 1 RBI in 3 at-bats.
In the first inning, third baseman Hwang Jae-gyun’s lake rain stopped Kim Hyun-soo from infield grounding. Appearing at 3-0 in the 4th inning with 1 company and 3rd base, he hit a right-handed hit with 1 RBI against KT Son Dong-hyun. Afterwards, Kang Baek-ho stepped on the home during the superiority over-the-counter two-run four.
Kim Hyun-soo, whom we met after the game, said, “The team atmosphere is good. However, the weather is not warm, so my personal condition is not good.” “I came to play in a place with good weather, but I didn’t know that Arizona would be this cold. I have been on a plane for a long time, but the weather is not as good as I thought. However, preparations are still going well.”
Hitting is also not yet at a satisfactory level. Kim Hyun-soo said, “All the hitters are coming out with good batting balls, but I don’t think there are any hitters who think they hit well.” In the future, I think I will find the feeling when I play against a team that is more and more geared towards actual matches.”
He said, “In the case of me, I think my body is still dull when I play. The posture of holding the bat is also awkward.” 바카라
Kim Hyun-soo, the main left fielder of the national team, is currently practicing first base defense at the same time as first baseman Choi Ji-man, a major leaguer, failed to qualify for the national team. The national team has first basemen named Park Byeong-ho and Kang Baek-ho, but due to the nature of the short-term game, it is unknown when and which player will be replaced. If the first baseman’s resources are consumed early, Kim Hyun-soo, who has often seen first baseman in his team LG, must fill the spot.
However, this is not the scenario Kim Hyun-soo wants. He said, “If you see a first baseman, you have to do something,” but “I’m praying that (Park) Byeong-ho and (Kang) Baek-ho don’t get sick. They are good players, so if I don’t get injured, there’s no need for me to play multiplayer. I just prepared my heart,” he said with a laugh.
