NC Dinos Matt Davidson started as the fourth hitter-1st baseman in a practice game against Taiwanese professional team Zhongxin Brothers at Tainan Asia-Pacific Baseball Stadium in Taiwan on February 27.
Davison was originally scheduled to play in the exhibition game. At the beginning of the first camp, he also expressed his desire to slowly raise his body in a meeting with head coach Lee Ho-joon, and as the head coach accepted it, he was expected to play the last one game at most in a practice game in Taiwan.
But Davison changed his mind. He did not play in the previous three games, but volunteered to be in good physical condition. I want to play in the game"He expressed his will, and he played his first game as the starting first baseman.
On this day, Davison hit a foul flyout for his first at-bat catcher, a fly ball to center field in his second at-bat, and a solo home run in the left-center of his third at-bat. In other words, he found a sense of home run from his first game. Davison was `preparing well, so there was no particular difficulty. I planned to play only three innings today, but I played more innings than expected as I first pitched in my first at-bat and requested one more at-bat due to regret. I'm already in a lot of condition, so I'm trying to prepare for the season without overdoing it.'

He fell four short of 50 home runs, but he is not obsessed with the numbers themselves. Davison tries to focus on one swing per at-bats and one mechanism. Let's see what the results of each swing will be like,' he said, adding that if he takes a satisfactory swing per at-bat, the number of home runs will automatically follow.
Davison failed to win the Golden Glove award at first base even though he won the home run king. With Austin Dean of the LG Twins taking over, the golden gloves had to promise a year later. But he said he wasn't disappointed.
Davison said "Austin is a very good player, so I think he deserves the Golden Glove. I don't play baseball to win an award, but I play baseball with the hope that I will improve one day more than I did yesterday. I'm not sorry about that at all."
