"I think the first team is better at adrenaline."

Kim Dong-joon (23, Doosan Bears) was called up to the first team for the first time on April 13 this year. He was in the first team for a week and played only two at-bats, including his debut.

He was called back on the first day of the three consecutive games against KIA on the 3rd. He hit a single in the first game, and he had a hit throughout the three consecutive games.

So the good results came out."
