If I hadn't traded, what would I have done? I can only see Son Ah-seop in Hanwha's batting lineup now. Hero pressure that escaped three consecutive losses is the highest ever. But I'll try to overcome it.

Hanwha Eagles finished with one win and two losses in the first and second place match against the LG Twins. After two consecutive losses, he won the final game on the 10th with a 5-4 victory.
Son Ah-seop's performance, which he acquired through a trade in the three consecutive games, stood out to the extent that he wondered what he would have done if he hadn't traded.
Son Ah-seop, who changed his uniform from NC to Hanwha on July 31, the trade deadline, started as a top hitter against LG in Jamsil on the 8th. And on the 8th, when the team lost 1-2, he recorded his only RBI as his hit. In particular, Son Ah-seop's sweat and effort were all included in the team's five points in the game on the 10th.
In the top of the third inning, he scored the first RBI with a ground ball in front of the second base with no outs and runners on the second base, and in the top of the fifth inning, he made it 2-0 with a double on the right-field line with one out and a runner on the second base. In the top of the seventh inning, when the score was tied 2-2, he got on base with a walk at first base with no outs, advanced to third base on Liberato's sacrifice fly, and scored while dancing with an exquisite sliding when Moon Hyun-bin grounded out in front of the first base. In the top of the ninth inning, he sent the runner to third base with a stable sacrifice bunt to set the stage for additional points. Thanks to Son Ah-seop, who had one hit, two RBIs and one run from three times at bat, Hanwha was able to continue its challenge to No. 1 again by breaking three consecutive losses and narrowing the gap with No. 1 LG to two games.
It was a three-game series, a big burden for him. Unfortunately, on the 7th, the previous day, he lost to KT and met LG as the team came down to second place in the first game, and coincidentally, he started from that day. In order to win the championship, he had to show something in the important three consecutive games brought in to strengthen his batting. In addition, he showed a clear presence with the skills of the main character who had the most hits in his career in three consecutive games, raising expectations to lead the Hanwha lineup in the future.

The veteran with numerous experiences showed his skills on the ground without regret. The fans' support gave me strength. Son Ah-seop said "When I entered the game, I think a lot of the audience came and made it a little fun. So I think the result came out rather well.'
There has never been a time when it has been more burdensome than now. "I've played in popular teams and moved to FA, but I think the pressure is the biggest right now. In fact, Son Ah-seop, who said, `I couldn't sleep well for a few days,' said, `In the end, Hanwha Eagles and head coach Kim Kyung-moon recruited me because I needed it, so the burden is something I have to bear. I'm still confident that I can contribute to the team, so I'll try to overcome the current burden."
Son Ah-seop, who has yet to reach the Korean Series since his debut in 2007, has a chance to move to Hanwha. But Son said, `We still have a lot of games left, and it's too hard when we don't win one"Didn't you have a hard time winning today?" I can't afford to think about the series now. I think it's important now to focus on one game so that you can come here and help and hear that you've recruited well.'
I'm already used to the team. It was easy to adjust to the atmosphere because there were seniors such as Ryu Hyun-jin and (Lee) Jae-won, and there were many juniors who were close to each other"I was surprised that the environment was so good that I could only focus on baseball."
Next, for Son Ah-seop, it is 'Friendship Series'. Meet Lotte Giants and NC Dinos. Son Ah-seop said, `I couldn't afford to think about the next opponent because I was worried about here (against LG)"I think we'll meet soon, whether it's Lotte or NC, but that's not the important thing now, I think we really have to pour all our energy into each game and every game" he said, expressing his intention to focus on winning no matter which team he faces.
