"It's more important whether I played well or not against the pitcher than the result of the hit." I think I have to feel good as long as I can to produce good results in the future."
Regarding Ko Seung-min's injury gap, "We exchanged a lot of advice with each other. It's a pity that the hitting was going up together. I played the game with the determination to fill it up well," he stressed.
Coach Kim Tae-hyung thought a lot about using Choi Hang as a substitute while using it as a substitute. Choi Hang "As much as you give us a chance, we must repay you with results. I feel like I've taken that step today."
"I prepare as if I'm resetting every day, but on the first day of the series, I thought, 'There's nowhere for you to go down.'" Thanks to this, it became simple and unnecessary power was lost. I felt like I was putting it down and hitting it."
