"I don't know if it's a matter for fans to criticize."

Kiwoom Heroes' new head coach Seol Jong-jin covered the claim, saying he was angry for the team despite the violent anger that almost hurt the player.

Kiwoom announced on the 28th that it signed a formal supervisory contract with coach Seol, who was performing his acting duties, on the condition of a two-year total of 600 million won. And on the 29th, when there was no game, he held an official inauguration ceremony at Gocheok Sky Dome.




Coach Seol presented a blueprint for the future by emphasizing sacrifices and challenges, but he has to worry about next season right away. Ace Ahn Woo-jin suffered a shoulder injury ahead of his return and is on the operating table, and can only return at the end of the first half of next year. If everything goes well, too. The shoulder area is very sensitive, so it is difficult to accurately predict the timing of the return.

There is also a Song Seong-moon variable here. Song Sung-moon, who has fully displayed his skills since last year, signed a non-FA multi-year contract with Kiwoom that guarantees a total of 12 billion won for six years, but decided to challenge the U.S. Major League stage through the posting system regardless of this contract after this season. If he succeeds in advancing to the Major League, the multi-year contract will be automatically destroyed. Although the recognition is insufficient because it has grown into a clear main player, there is a possibility of advancing to the U.S. as it has not fallen at all compared to Kim Ha-sung (Atlanta) and Kim Hye-sung (LA Dodgers), who have already entered the U.S.

Director Seol responded to the scenario in which Song Sung-moon goes to the U.S. saying, `I don't want to think about it.' "If that happens, the infinite competition of existing players will begin from the closing camp. We have to find a player somehow," he stressed.




Song Sung-moon expressed unprecedented anger after striking out pitcher Bae Chan-seung, who was replaced by a chance with two outs and runners on the first and second bases in the fifth inning when he was pushed 1-2 against the Samsung Lions on the 28th. I hit the bat to the ground and broke it. This is a common occurrence. I couldn't get rid of my anger with that, so I threw the bat in the direction of the dugout. Lim Ji-yeol, who was in the waiting at-bat, was hit by the bat and almost got seriously injured. Then he went into the dugout and threw his helmet and couldn't get rid of his anger.

We don't know the exact state of mind at the time, whether he was angry because he had no hits in 11 consecutive at-bats until that at-bat when he could aim for the most hits and two runs, or whether he was angry to strike out against a rookie pitcher on an important chance, but what is certain is that he expressed more emotions than necessary as a captain and star.

In his inaugural speech and press conference, coach Seol emphasized sacrifices for the team and actions that did not break teamwork. When I connected him and asked about Song Seong-moon's violent anger the day before, "I think it is necessary. I understand that I couldn't resist the desperate desire to win at home and the resentment that came out of it. We need a player who can appeal to the anger for the team."




Then, when Kiwoom asked if it was okay for everyone to do such things, he said, `I can't even restrain those behaviors.'

But there are fans watching. Recently, there are many children's fans at the baseball stadium. In addition, Kiwoom's main players are young. The team's atmosphere can be shaken by the captain's words and actions. Coach Seol replied, "Wouldn't it have an effect on the fans and juniors?", and "I'm not sure if it's a problem for the fans to criticize." "If fans and players think it's a behavior that they're repulsed by, I'll talk to veteran players."," he added.
