At the age of 42, what if I hit the Jamsil back screen? It's good to hit it four times

"Number 4 is good. But..."

After all, it's Choi Hyung-woo.

The KIA Tigers chose to say goodbye to Socrates, who led the team to last year's unified championship. Although he boasts a powerful lineup, he needed a player with the image of a big gun who hit long balls in chances.




That's why I brought Wizdom. I won with eight home runs. Looking at it like this, I think it's a success, with a batting average of 250. It's not that bad, but there's a strong feeling of 'all or all'. If you get caught, you go over it, but there is a big weakness in the falling ball. So it's hard to believe and move on with 'Fixed 4'.

Therefore, we have no choice but to find Choi Hyung-woo. He's already 42 years old, and he hits four unified championships. Wisdom started when it was sluggish in the beginning, and most of this season went to No. 4. The impact is also strong. On the 19th, he went to No. 4 against the Doosan Bears and crossed the Jamsil back screen through strong head winds. The home run tied the game, and the flow of the game came to KIA and won. On the 20th, the match against Doosan changed seats with Wisdom and went to No. 5, but he hit the final hit.

It is a challenge that KIA has to solve. There are some things that Choi Hyung-woo is good at, but young and capable hitters to replace Choi Hyung-woo are not growing. Therefore, Choi Hyung-woo consistently put forward 'Ron 6'. This is because I think it is most ideal when considering the future of the team to play the role of supporting the old (?) himself in about six times.




Choi Hyung-woo said "It's not that I like No. 6, I'm thinking about the side where the team can develop further. To be honest, I like it when I hit it four times. It's a place I've been doing all the time. But when I think of the team, I have to go down to No. 6 and have young players in the central lineup. That way, he will back me up while I'm around, and the player will be big. But if I keep taking my place, my juniors can't be big. If you suddenly enter the fourth seat, you will feel burdened. "

KIA was sluggish at the beginning of the season, overshadowing the evaluation of 'absolute first place'. He had to cry because of the main players such as Kim Do-young's string injury. However, Kim Do-young is also stepping up her return, and normal power is being set up. Choi Hyung-woo is also getting the hang of it and making an important RBI. Choi Hyung-woo said "The team was in a bad mood. But fortunately, I feel like I survived last week. In fact, I didn't think it was that serious at first. This is because the LG Twins are good, but they did not have much difference from other teams. But people around me were going crazy.(laughs) I thought that when the injured players come back, they will definitely be able to hit it. Do you buy a hit?鸚㈏? Yes. I think I'll feel at ease if I think I'll go through what I'm going to go through during the season in advance anyway."

When Kim Do-young returns, Choi Hyung-woo may have to go to left field defense when he uses Byun Woo-hyuk as a designated hitter. Choi Hyung-woo said "I'm good to play defense. I told the director that I could go out. But he didn't let me out." Then "At first, it's a little hard because I'm nervous, but once I go out, I'm fine from next time. But he won't let me out. He said, giving me a laugh once again.
