SSG Landers Choi Jung signed an FA contract with the club on the condition of a full four-year 11 billion won guarantee after the end of last season. A down payment of 3 billion won and an annual salary of 8 billion won are guaranteed. It's a contract with no option. It was a contract to see how special the club thinks Choi Jung, who holds the record for the most home runs in the KBO League, is.
However, Choi Jeong experienced his worst slump since his debut this season. A hamstring injury early in the season, a batting slump that continues after his return. He could hardly escape his batting average in the 10% range, and he did not have a cool home run hit. As Choi Jung struggled in a slump, the team also wandered around together.
Choi Jung's feeling little by little "I'm getting better" since the last Daegu away series. Even in the heat wave, he tried hard to escape the slump to the extent that he conducted separate batting training for an hour. The results began to come out little by little.
Choi Jung-eun, who had two hits and one RBI in five at-bats against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on the 26th, hit a home run against Moon Dong-ju in a row against the Hanwha Eagles on the 27th. He even hit a tiebreaking solo home run in the top of the fourth inning and a come-from-behind solo home run in the top. Choi Jeong, who set the KBO's record for the most consecutive home runs (29th), led his team to a 3-2 victory. SSG finished the three consecutive games against Hanwha with two wins and one loss.
On the 26th, just a day before, captain Kim Kwang-hyun gave Choi Jung a shot in an interview after the game. Kim Kwang-hyun said, `First of all, Jung-i has to survive. You have to put pressure on your brother. Because I get paid a lot. That's how much pressure I had, and that's why the club pays us an annual salary. I hope you will overcome the burden." he said with affection.
Choi Jung, who met after the game on the 27th, also saw Kim Kwang-hyun's message through the article. Choi Jung-eun "If you look at the title of the article, it's as if she said something in the corner, but she and Kwang-hyun are on good terms with each other. "I understand what you mean. In the meantime, I was so embarrassed by the fans, the players, and all the members. It was embarrassing to walk around with my head up. I felt intimidated because I was so bad. But you mentioned it like that and said something, so I felt more comfortable," he said with a smile.
As for the consecutive home runs against Moon Dong-joo on the day "The Hanwha pitchers thought that the ball was fast and perfect, so they put it down and hit in-play with the timing comfortably. "I turned the ball on time, but it hit the right time, so I think it was a home run.""I think I'll just have to work hard in the future. I want to be crazy once in a while and be a great addition to the team, and it is important to build up wins by winning one game or another. I'll do my best without getting hurt"I'm determined.
