"There's almost no direct purchase. There are a lot of breaking balls coming in, so shouldn't I overcome it?"
There is a saying that a hero is born in this difficult time.
The KIA Tigers are having a tough 2025 season. The injuries of the main players are continuing like dominoes. When Kim Do-young, who injured his left hamstring in the opening game, returned, all the central hitters, including Na Sung-bum, Kim Sun-bin and Wisdom, were out due to injuries. Choi Won-joon is not injured, but he is in the second division due to psychological problems caused by sluggishness. To make matters worse, Kim Do-young injured his right hamstring again while stealing a base against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 27th. It was a shocking injury.
But baseball has to keep going, and the vacancy is filled by new faces. If you take a chance at this time, you will leap to a new main player.

So the player who stands out the most recently is Oseon. He is constantly receiving opportunities in the trust of head coach Lee Bum-ho and exploding his potential. First of all, the swing itself is powerful and cool. He hit a solo shot in the seventh inning against Kiwoom, and he pushed Yang Ji-yul's fastball properly in a 2B situation. It is not easy for left-handed hitters to make a home run ball over to left-center, but a huge hit came out of the beautiful swing trajectory. a combination of power and technology. On top of that, good looks are a bonus. If you play baseball well, you will become a popular star.
He has a batting average of .38 with four homers and 14 RBIs. Of course, there are ups and downs as it is actually the first season to play as a main player. Prior to the final shot against Kiwoom, there was an important chance double play and a disappointing appearance in defense. But there is no dejected or intimidated appearance.

Oh Sun-woo said "Hit coach Hong Se-wan said, "Let's do what we prepared, regardless of the results of the previous at-bat." That's why I think a good hit came out when it mattered. It was 2B, but there was no runner with two outs, so I thought I'd spin it when I came into my zone, but it hit the center and a good hit came out"I turned the game around on that day.
Since mid-April, he has become a key player. The grades are not bad, either. Can you feel the difference. Oh Sun-woo said "There's very little direct ball coming in. There are so many breaking balls. But I have to get through it. It's my homework. Still, even if I strike out these days, I think it's a good experience and I think I'll never get hit again next time. If you play as a main player, if you strike out at the first batter's box, there's next. Therefore, I try not to collapse no matter what the result comes out. Baseball can't do well all the time. I'm most concerned about maintaining what I'm doing now,' he explained seriously.

The main position is first base. However, due to team circumstances, they are more likely to play in the outfield. Kiwoom also played in right field. There were also mistakes in batting judgment and throwing. provided an excuse for a loss. However, even though it hasn't been long since he changed due to his baseball sense, he is said to be good at defending the outfield. In the end, experience is needed. Oh Sun-woo said "Honestly, the outfield is more difficult. They make mistakes, too. But this is also an experience. I'm learning by mistake. There's still a lot to be desired. With more experience, I will be able to catch the ball that I haven't caught yet."
