KIA Tigers RBI master Choi Hyung-woo (41) stretched out. He played for the first time in an Okinawa practice game against the Samsung Lions on the 2nd. As the fourth batter, he struck out and walked. It was his first real game in four months since Game 5 of the Korean Series last year. He focused on gaining a sense of play by making big swings.  메이저사이트

"I purposely made the swing big. As I get older, I am afraid. Everything falls when I start after a few months' rest. It wasn't bad to watch the pitching ball today. I'm not fully recovered yet, but I'm showing off a lot and overworking my body like crazy. That's how I can easily adjust and start the season at exhibition games," Choi said. 

"When I was young, I would draw a picture of 30 home runs and a batting average of .300, but there is nothing like that anymore. I think about full-time without getting sick. I am 43 years old in our age, and I am grateful for 60 RBIs and 70 RBIs. It doesn't matter if I was batting fourth or sixth. Instead, if the current member goes without getting hurt, I think I will have good results this year as well," he said. 

What was interesting was the prospect of the genius hitter Kim Do-young. He rose to the top of the league with a batting average of 347, 38 homers, 109 RBIs, 143 runs, 40 steals, and OPS of 1.067 last year. It was a crazy blow and produced tremendous performance. He won the MVP of the regular season and contributed significantly to KIA's win. Expectations are high on "Monster's Season" this year as well. 

"Not as good as last year's. If so, it would be amazing. Still, he would hit 30 home runs or 30 steals. His batting average could decline a bit. Of course, even if he is not as good as last year's, he is still good at it. He will be among the top players in the league, but I don't think he will be as good as last year's (to achieve the best) performance." As he emerged as the most important hitter, he could be checked or avoided.  

Kim Do-young's performance this season is a matter of great interest to fans. Some predict that he will be able to challenge himself to become the home run champion, but this is generally similar to Choi's view. He means that he can hit at least 30 home runs and 30 steals. "I have no slum. I have hit .30 consistently. I will do well. I will hit 30 home runs and 30 steals even if I am not as good as I was last year," Lee said.

Perhaps the standard will be 40 home runs and 40 steals. Last year, it failed due to a lack of two home runs. If it succeeds through checks, figures similar to last year's performance will come out. As Choi Hyung-woo said, the expression "God" may be appropriate. In other words, a 41-year-old living legend makes subtle provocations to Kim Do-young. I'm curious about Donisal's response.
