If the ball didn't come, Tolhurst had two hits and two runs, and a wedge three-run triple. A bold first shot by a 19-year-old rookie shortstop. I'm enjoying it as if I'm at a playground

Eo Jun-seo, the seventh batter of Kiwoom Heroes. He is a high school graduate from Gyeonggi High School and joined as the 21st in the third round this year.
He is a promising player with a batting average of 2.32 (64 hits in 276) with four home runs and 19 RBIs in 102 games until the 8th. Born in November 2006, a young player who is only 19 years old is growing up well among prominent seniors.
And in the game against LG at Gocheok on the 9th, he hit hard with three hits and three RBIs that led his team to victory.
He gave up two runs in the top of the first inning to start 0-2, but his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning was the start of Kiwoom's victory. Eo Jun-seo, who came out after the second death, hit a 140km slider on the outside of the seventh pitch after a full count match with LG starter Tolhurst, recording a left-handed hit. Kim Gun-hee's walk led him to second base, and Park Joo-hong's right-handed hit home to score his team's first goal.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, trailing 1-2, Eo Jun-seo came out as the leadoff batter and pushed Tolhurst's outer fork ball to hit a hit in left-center to open the game. Kim Gun-hee's sacrifice bunt made it to second base, and Song Sung-moon's right-handed hit home to tie the score 2-2. Soon after, Lim Ji-yeol's come-from-behind three-run shot exploded, 5-2.
At the bottom of the sixth inning, with the bases loaded with two outs, a big lead of 8-2 and a three-run triple fell in front of the right-center fence by rolling up Baek Seung-hyun's 147km fastball. They actually ended the match by widening the gap to 11-2.

After the game, Eo Jun-seo said "I always thought it was a chance not to come again, and I thought I had nothing to lose and enjoyed it because I played with Kang team."
Confidence in defense has increased. Eo Jun-seo said, "I think I got better because I always came out an hour before training, did defensive training, asked seniors, and put it in my head"In the beginning, I was scared when the ball came, and I thought that the ball should not come, but now I think that the ball should come to me because I can catch it all. "
Before you know it, the rookie draft, which was called by his name a year ago, will be held. Eo Jun-seo said, "When I was in the draft, I didn't think I was playing in the first team like this. My goal then was to play in Gocheok once. I achieved that goal, so I'm playing baseball happily this year and I think I'm the happiest today."
When asked if he had two hits from Tolhurst "When I meet a strong pitcher, I think let's have fun. I'm having fun as if I'm at a playground when Kang Pitcher comes out with the thought that I have nothing to lose," he said, explaining his secret to playing a good game from his mental strength.
"I think I've developed a little bit about how to fight in the at-bats."I want to improve my defense and do well in the future," Eo Jun-seo said."
