[Miyazaki (Japan) = Reporter Han Dong-hoon of Sports Chosun] Doosan Bears rookie catcher Park Min-joon (23) made a strong impression with his play during off-season training.

Park Min-joon showed off his fighting spirit in a practice game against the Seibu Lions at Nango Stadium in Miyazaki, Japan, on the 22nd.

Usually, practice games are for checking conditions for key players, so it is not too much to overdo.




However, it is a survival game for up-and-coming players such as Park Min-joon who are competing for the starting lineup.

Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop also stressed that semi-mainstream players should show their desperation even in practice games.

Park Min-joon entered as a substitute in the sixth inning. Park Min-joon had one opportunity in the seventh inning and struck out, but he burned his passion in defense.




Park Min-joon was blocked several times with his body and hit the ball in the collarbone. If you were concerned about the injury, it would not be strange to ask for a replacement, but Park Min-joon played the game until the end.

Park Min-joon also caught a decisive steal in the bottom of the ninth inning when he was chased 5-4.

Seibu's leadoff hitter got on base with a surprise bunt against Doosan closer Kim Taek-yeon. Despite the fact that it was a practice game, he lived with persistent bunt. He even tried to steal a base, but Park Min-joon neatly blocked it.




Kim Taek-yeon, who received strength here, kept the victory by organizing the ninth inning neatly.

Park Min-joon won the Hustle Play Award after the game.

Doosan added this award from this year's spring camp. Initially, the game MVP and three outstanding pitchers were selected and a small prize was given.

A Doosan official said "Starting this year, the coaching staff and the front desk have put their heads together to add the Hustle Play Award." From the spring camp, I give it to a player who shows Doosan's symbol 'hustle' on the ground."

Park Min-joon became the first main character of the award.

Park Min-joon said, `I'm always happy to receive an award, but it's all the more honored that it's the first event to be awarded from this year. As a catcher, I'll think of it as a way to lead the pitchers better."

Regarding the situation of blocking stolen bases, "The teams were wary in advance because they played so much." Thrilled after the draft pick (laughs). I will work harder to create more scenes like that"I'm determined.
