Kiwoom Heroes infielder Song Sung-moon challenged as the main second baseman this season. In the past, he has sometimes played second base defense, but this is the first time he has tried to play second base in earnest. It is also a change in position due to the advancement of close junior Kim Hye-sung to the Major League.
Song Sung-moon is currently recovering his sense of play by continuing to play as the starting second baseman in Taiwan's second spring camp practice game. Recently, rookie Chung Hyun-woo was embarrassed as he missed the double play course in the game where he started. After the game that day, Song Sung-moon said to Jung Hyun-woo "I'm sorry" but became playful, "I did it on purpose to experience it" to make everyone laugh.
Song Seong-moon said "I was sorry that I couldn't help you, but I couldn't finish it when the inning ended. But I purposely pranked him for having a initiation ceremony. I'll do better during the season," he chuckled.
He is still adjusting to the 'second baseman Song Seong-moon' "I had a bad elbow at the end of the U.S. camp, so I only played designated hitter, but I came to Taiwan to defend for the first time. It takes a little bit of time to get used to it," he said. "In fact, even before, (Kim) Hye-sung was sick, so I played more than 100 innings of second base defense. Rather, I didn't expect that part more. This year, it's okay because we're preparing from the beginning."

a defensive shift with third baseman positioned. Asked if he was disappointed, he said "You might think so, but if second base is a position you've never played before, you might be worried or reluctant." However, I think that would be an excuse because my original position was second base in the early days of joining the professional league, and Hyesung went to third base when he changed to second base.
The news about Kim Hye-sung, who joined the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been watching 'spare time' Song Seong-moon says "It's so cool. I really like Mookie Betts"I keep in touch with Hyesung from time to time, and Ohtani and Betts also take good care of me." It's not 'I'm glad you took good care of me'. I envy you because you took good care of me. I had a stomachache. Just imagining it makes me smile."
Song Sung-moon said that if Hye-sung gets closer to Betts, he will make a video call. I don't think we're close enough to make video calls yet. One day, I called Hyesung and he said 'Go out to eat', so 'Do you eat with Betts?' I did it, but they said it's not that bad yet. I'm waiting for you to get closer"His eyes twinkled as if he was waiting for his favorite idol star.

Song Seong-moon wrote, "Golden Glove or individual title is on every baseball player's bucket list. I want to try it once, but actually, until last year, what's the point of filling up 'FA. He was the one who thought, 'Who can take it if he's good at baseball?' "I thought, 'What's the point of being an FA when I'm not competitive?'" smiling "I don't have any real thoughts yet. Although he performed well last year, baseball is a good year and can suffer ups and downs. So I'm worried and paying more attention to that part," he said frankly. This is also why 2024 is working harder than anyone else to not stop at 'Twinkle'.
It is Song Seong-moon, who felt that the off-season was particularly long last year. He failed to advance to the postseason at the bottom of the list for the second consecutive year. In addition, Kiwoom, which uses Gocheok Dome as its home, has an exceptionally long fall due to the small number of remaining games.
Song Seong-moon said, `These were days when I really wondered if next season would come. Other teams enjoyed watching fall baseball, but it was bitter again. Now that the season is approaching like this, I'm both excited and worried. "I respect the idea that experts rank us as the lowest. Even if I was an expert, I would evaluate it like that. But the baseball is round. Our players have prepared a lot since the offseason. I think this will be a different season than the last two years,' he said, expressing his confidence as a captain.
