He is receiving an indifferent ceremony with his 5 billion FA come-from-behind solo shot, which he used to post RBIs in defense when he followed the voice support. I didn't think the final hit would be a home run

No matter how many times he saw the defense, not the batting average, it is hard to understand the batting average in the 10% range. If you look at him catching a hit and getting him out, you've brought him well' I want to, but when I see a hit, I get frustrated again.
Shim Woo-joon, a 5 billion FA who was only cheered by Hanwha Eagles fans during defense, finally received tremendous cheers and thanked his fans on the cheering stage. He hit his first home run to win against the LG Twins, the No. 1 player.
Shim Woo-joon started as No. 9 shortstop in a home game against LG at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 29th and hit a come-from-behind final solo shot over the left fence in his second at-bat in the bottom of the fourth inning when the score was 2-2.
LG starter Song Seung-ki struck out three pitches in his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning, but his second at-bat was different. In 2B1S, Song Seung-ki's 146km fastball penetrated Shim Woo-joon's body and Shim Woo-joon hit it properly. The ball that flew straight to the line drive became a home run slightly over the left fence. 3-2. The distance was 105 m.
His first home run in Hanwha's uniform. Hanwha's coaching staff, including head coach Kim Kyung-moon, all gave Shim Woo-joon a high-five, but the players pretended not to see him and gave him a 'Ceremony of indifference'.
After Shim Woo-joon came into the dugout, everyone congratulated him on his first home run.
Until the previous day, he had a batting average of 178. (13 hits in 73 at-bats) with five RBIs, seven runs and three steals. Since his overall batting average was 253 until last year, he is not a batter with excellent batting originally. He was a good defensive shortstop with a wide fielding range and good throwing ability and a fast-footed hitter who became the steal king in 2020.
The reason Hanwha ambitiously paid 5 billion won to bring Shim Woo-joon despite having several shortstops such as Ha Joo-seok who had a good batting performance was because it needed a good defensive shortstop to help good pitchers pitch.
So far, Shim Woo-joon's defense is impeccable. If the ball goes toward Shim Woo-joon, I'm relieved now. There are also several scenes where he caught and out hitters to overcome the crisis of losing points. It is 100% satisfied in defense, but even if the hit is weak, there is no choice but to be disappointed. However, hitting a home run to beat No. 1 LG could serve as a springboard for an upturn.

The home run was the result of an active and strong performance due to poor batting. Shim Woo-joon "He was in such a bad condition that he hit his fastball in front of him. The idea was to make a strong pitch in the ground because it was constantly late and there was no count fight"I turned strongly on the first pitch today, about two at-bats. I think turning it around with that idea turned out to be a good result."
When he hit a home run, the players did an indifferent ceremony. Only the coaching staff gave him high fives, and the players didn't even look at him. And after a moment of silence after entering the dugout, the players all cheered for him and congratulated him. Shim Woo-joon once received an indifferent ceremony when he hit a home run after returning from the military, but he wasn't this embarrassed at that time. But this time, starting with (Ryu) Hyun-jin, I felt embarrassed because I didn't think about laughing at all. And I almost went to the locker room because he didn't congratulate me even though I came to the dugout. Thank you so much for cheering for me"Smile.
He hit a home run, but he knows his role well. Shim Woo-jun "I'm thinking of playing only one a day. I have to get on base, move, and shake the opponent team when no-out goes out, but it's frustrating because it doesn't work well. We need to get more on base in the future," he said, flogging himself.
It is helpful for each other to come with Um Sang-baek from KT. Coincidentally, neither of them had very good early grades. Shim Woo-joon said, `We support each other saying it's okay during the game,' adding, `It would have been harder to be alone…. We're holding out well together."
I am just grateful for the support from Hanwha fans. Shim Woo-jun, who is listening to the voice support, said "KT also had a lot of fans, so I was grateful for the support, but Hanwha seems to be different."Isn't it sold out even though it's a weekday today (29th). I think you're amazingHe also imitates when he hears the support for fostering. Sometimes, I get goosebumps when I hear the cheers when I'm winning"Thank you for the support from Hanwha fans.
