[Miyazaki (Japan) = Reporter Park Jae-man of Sports Chosun] Major League Baseball's 45 home run cave is rapidly melting into Doosan Bears.

A practice game between the Doosan Bears and the Seibu Lions at Nango Stadium in Miyazaki, Japan, on the 22nd. Cave, who started as a right fielder for the fourth batter, sent a powerful hit in the fourth inning of his second at-bat, but unfortunately, he was robbed of a hit as he headed straight to the shortstop.

Spring camp is more important to increase the sense of hit than the result. Cave, a 45-homer hitter in the Major League, seemed to be satisfied with the ball with a cool response even after the hit was stolen.

Cave's ball, which was pushed technically, flew with a cheerful hitting sound as if it were to penetrate the infield at the moment of the hit. If the position of the Seibu Lions shortstop had been a little more focused on the third base line, it could have escaped.

Cave, who sprinted toward first base immediately after the hit, arrived at the base of the first base and prepared for an airborne shift, talking about the batting with coach Lim Jae-hyun and reviving the previous situation.

Cave looked satisfied with the point he hit accurately into the center of the bat without getting a single in the first inning on a stolen hit. Cave seemed to enjoy the spring camp to the extent that he was playing against a foreign player from the Seibu Lions who was entering after the defense.

Cave did not expect much or become greedy. It feels better that all of my colleagues congratulated me sincerely and were happy than the home run came out. That's the kind of energy that's the best thing about joining Doosan Bears."

Finally, Cave said, "The goal is to please fans beyond their teammates. Without them, there would be no professional baseball player. I will do my best to make my fans happy with my teammatesexpressed his aspirations that "

The energy of Cave, the positive king, is brightening the atmosphere at the Doosan Bears spring camp with a batting average of 0.236, 337 hits, 45 homers, 176 RBIs, on-base percentage of 0.292, and a slugging percentage of 0.400.
