He had the best foreign hitter this year, but unfortunately, he couldn't reach autumn baseball.

The NC Dinos had a hurtful year. At one point, it rose to second place, but suffered 11 consecutive losses and slipped to ninth place in the final ranking. Former head coach Kang In-kwon was replaced and finished the season under acting head coach Gong Pil-sung.

Davison hit .300 with 46 home runs and 119 RBIs, and OPS (on-base plus slugging) 0.998. Hart also established himself as the best pitcher of the year with 13 wins, 3 losses, 157 innings and an ERA of 2.69.

However, Castano, who was released during the season, and Yokishi, who joined as a substitute, did not meet expectations. As a result, he accepted the result of this fall baseball failure, which continued its all-time box office march.

Davison will start as the fourth batter and first baseman against the Changwon NC Dinos on the 1st, the last game of the regular season.

He said "It's not a season that went the way you wanted it to, but the players did their best as one"I looked back on the past year.

Davison and Hart coincidentally had the same most memorable game. It is against Changwon SSG Landers on July 4, when Davison won a dramatic victory with a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 12th inning of extra time.

Davison said "It's great to finish the season healthy. Many games are memorable, but the most memorable scene for me personally is when I hit a walk-off home run in Changwon on July 4th. "I want to make good memories with Dinos fans in the future." In particular, I sincerely thank the fans for supporting and encouraging me. I think I was able to cheer up and play the game because of them."

Hearts are also "It's been a glorious season. It's a shame that the team couldn't achieve the goal they wanted with the team members" conveyed his intentions. At the same time, "I believe our team will be a better team next season. And thank you Dinos fans for being so warm to me and my family"I expressed my appreciation.

In particular, the game Davison hit a walk-off home run in the 11th inning against SSG on July 4 was memorable. I also remember when we won against Lotte and Samsung, which had a large crowd." It is also memorable that he sang Masan Street with our fans as a player award. I want to come back next season and sing it with the fans", he confessed his passionate affection.

Hearts said "Our team is a good team and there are a lot of young players who have really endless advantages. I want to be with fans and team members again next season," he reiterated.

Yokishi joined midway through this season and started eight games with a 3-4 record and a 5.72 ERA.

At one point in September, he pitched well with one run in six consecutive innings for two consecutive games, but he failed to meet the expectations that he had hoped to lead the fall baseball team.

Yokishi said "I'm glad to be back. "I'm sorry I didn't achieve the goal I wanted, but I was happy to be back in the KBO league and throw the ball."

Then "I was grateful to be able to throw in front of NC Dinos fans. I remember the moment when I won my first game of the season against the KIA Tigers in front of my home fans. "This time with our players and fans at the NC Dinos will be memorable. Once again, I want to thank the fans who gave me a lot of support"I looked back.
