A double-digit home run is possible”… The ‘Masan Pyo’ long hitter, taken by the command tower, answered with confidence
“He is a player who can hit double-digit home runs.”
The bat of Young-Soo Oh (23, NC Dinos) heats up the demonstration game. He appeared in six games and batted . He has three doubles and a slugging percentage of 0.600.
His performance in the demonstration game does not guarantee an active performance in the regular season, but NC has begun to melt into practice what he expected at the time of nomination.
Oh Young-soo, who joined NC in the 2nd round of the 2018 rookie draft (19th overall), is an NC player who graduated from Sapacho-Sinwol Middle School-Masan Yongma High School. At the time of his nomination, he was evaluated as a left-handed hitter, and he was imprinted as a one-shot hitter by hitting 6 homers in 83 games last year after being discharged from Sangmu.
He has high expectations from the team. Director Kang In-kwon said, “I think last year’s experience should come out as the result he has this year. Oh Young-soo has a large part in our team, so he needs to play a role.”
In an exhibition game against Changwon SSG Landers on the 19th, Oh Young-soo made a necessary blow. At the end of the 9th inning with a score of 3-3, NC had a chance to finish with 1 company and 1st and 3rd base. NC made a pinch hitter Oh Young-soo at the bat Son Ah-seop, and the center fielder fly came out to finish. It was a rather short shot, but it was enough for speedy third base runner Kim Seong-wook to come home.
Oh Young-soo said, “I expected pitcher Seo Jin-yong because he had a good fork, but the drop was bigger than I thought, so I was surprised to miss the first ball. If I had been caught at home, I think I would have been sad.” He smiled.
Since his debut last year, he has played in the most games, and Oh Young-soo has stepped up. He said, “As I played last year’s season, I gained more leisure time and naturally became less nervous when I played,” he said.
He continued, “I had a really expensive experience last year. It’s probably a season that I think will be a foundation while playing baseball.”
Coach Kang expected a double-digit home run from Oh Young-soo. Oh Young-soo also showed confidence that he could live up to the director’s expectations. He said, “I appeared in 83 games last year, but considering the sluggishness in the first half, if I spend a season like the second half, I think (double-digit home runs) will be possible.”안전놀이터
The defense will not be neglected either. He said, “Last year was the first time I played as first base full-time, but I think the results came out better than I prepared. This season, I want to help the team by supplementing my inexperience as much as possible and taking advantage of my strengths.”
The goal was clear. He said, “Double-digit home run in 100 games,” and expected his appearance to grow one step further than last year.
