But here’s something you might not have heard. It’s the signing of veteran Seo Gun-chang, an ‘unprecedented’ 200-hit MVP.

In 2014, he won the MVP award after hitting 201 hits in a season for the Nexen Heroes, the predecessor of the Kiwoom Heroes. He wrote “The Myth of the New Player. Seo’s record is still talked about as a “dream record” because it was achieved in 128 games instead of 144 games a season. His baseball skills, integrity, and fan service made him an inspiration to all.

However, the past three winters have been harsh for the glory days. He chose to become a free agent third baseman, 온라인카지노 but he couldn’t overcome the passage of time and failed to rebound. While his team, the LG Twins, celebrated their first championship in 29 years, Seo couldn’t smile. He sensed the karma of his position and requested his release.

While his athleticism has diminished from his prime, he still has the ability to hit the ball off the bat. He’s lost a lot of range at second base, but he’s still able to handle the pitches that come his way. There’s still time for one last flame to burn.

But the news is not encouraging

Chinjung Team Kiwoom reached out to Seo immediately after his release. But he needed time to think. He needed a chance to redeem himself, and he needed to figure out which team would give him the most opportunities. Kiwoom may have thought it was a tough call, with Golden Glove second baseman Kim Hye-sung holding down the fort. In the meantime, the Kia Tigers, who were considered a possible destination, signed their star second baseman Kim Sun-bin to a three-year free agent contract totaling 3 billion won. Kia is no longer the “land of opportunity” that Seo wanted.

Fast forward a year. To prove his worth on the field, Seo needs to show his competitiveness in spring training. It’s not easy to make the opening roster without attending a first-team camp. It’s not uncommon for a “superstar” player to miss time due to injury and return in time for the start of the season. The sooner the contract is finalized, the sooner the team can decide whether or not to give him a chance to participate in camp. Spring training can set the tone for the rest of the year. 바카라사이트 추천 It’s not for the faint of heart. Time is running out for Spring Camp in February.

The good news is that Seo hasn’t given up and is preparing for the new season through personal training, and Kiwoom is still waiting for him. “We haven’t received any communication from Seo yet,” said Kiwoom head coach Ko Hyung-wook. However, we have heard that he is building his body well,” he said, adding, “We still have the same mindset to wait for him to make a final decision.”

“His time is getting shorter and shorter. It’s time to make a decision.
