“Because I know what I lack… ” The 24-year-old futures RBI leader’s positive mindset, he did not get discouraged even when he was notified of the 2nd division

“I was not disappointed or discouraged when I went to the 2nd team because I knew what I lacked.”

Choi Jun-woo (24), infielder of SSG Landers, played a big role last season with a batting average of 0.349, 88 hits, 83 RBIs, and 58 points for the Armed Forces Athletic Corps (Sangmu) baseball team, becoming the futures southern league’s RBI leader. Since I was discharged, everyone expected that I would gradually come out of the egg.메이저사이트 주소

However, it was not easy to get a spot at the beginning of the season. When he first came up from the first team in May, he had only one hit, and when he came up to the first team for the second time in the season, he did not show any special performance and went down to the second team.

However, Choi Jun-woo was not disappointed or discouraged even if he went down to the 2nd team. He knew what he lacked, so he kept thinking about that part. He thought and studied the areas he was lacking in, such as hitting and defense.

As a result, he is getting good grades. Choi Jun-woo, who was called up on the 14th, is active with a batting average of .333, 13 hits, 5 RBIs and 3 runs. From the 20th to the 22nd, he had three consecutive multi-hits, and from the 20th to the 25th, he had six consecutive hits. He made no mistakes on defense either.

SSG coach Kim Won-hyeong said of Choi Jun-woo, “Jun-woo has been well evaluated in the past. He needed supplementation in other parts besides batting, so he played a backup role back and forth in the second team. His current form is showing good skills to the point where the main players think that a rival has appeared. That’s why the main players are working harder, competing in good faith, and leading to a good influence on the team. Jun-woo shows a good figure, and his hyungs will be happy too,” he said with a smile.

Choi Jun-woo, whom I recently met, said, “At first, it was not without difficulty as I went back and forth. But when he went down he knew what to make up for and went down. He focused only on making up for it. He wasn’t upset or discouraged.”

He continued, “I haven’t been able to show the play I showed at Sangmu. There was a feeling of pressure. However, it seems that he is playing baseball comfortably now. I talk a lot with the coaches next to me and help me a lot. Also, when there are runners, I try to hit them aggressively. In order not to have an unfavorable match, we must actively compete.”

He is also establishing his own routine.

“I used to come and go,” he said. Right now, I try to move according to the routine, as I thought. (Chu) Shin-soo sunbaenim’s influence is great. In the past, I thought sleep was important so I slept a lot at home and came to the stadium, but now I come rather early. He gets treatment and does a lot of exercise. Since I start my day early, it seems that the cells in my body wake up quickly.”

His hyungs also laugh at Choi Jun-woo’s performance. Choi Jun-woo said, “Every time my seniors play, they compliment me by saying, ‘You’re doing very well. Because of that impact, he seems to be able to do it confidently in defense as well. He thinks more than when he stands at bat and only tries to come out with what he practiced.”꽁머니지급

Finally, he said, “Now I think I am doing what I thought a little bit. At first, it didn’t work out well because there were few opportunities, but now with more opportunities to bat, good influence is coming out. He also says a lot of good things around him. Under the influence of that, I will do my best to show a better image.”
