Changed Moon Dong-joo "Rookie Award, it's not important... I don't care"
Moon Dong-joo (Hanwha Eagles), a second-year professional baseball player, had a bad first season of his highly anticipated debut.
After suffering from sluggishness and injuries due to his lack of experience,
He failed to adjust his pace, and last year he went 1-3 in 13 games with an earned run average of 5.65.
It was only on October 3, the last appearance of the 2022 season, 카지노
That he was able to earn his first win in his debut.
At the time, Moon Dong-ju said, "I think I suffered from injuries because I was conscious of being the Rookie of the Year this season.
Next year, I will give up my greed and focus on myself."
Now, seven months have passed, Moon Dong-ju still retains the mindset of that time.
Moon Dong-joo, who met at Sajik Stadium in Busan,
Where the KBO All-Star Game was held on the 15th, said firmly,
"I still have a lot of season left, and I don't think the rookie award is important to me right now."
He said calmly, “I achieved my goal because I didn’t get hurt and finished well (the first half).”
It showed a willingness to focus on the game and team victory rather than individual records.
The advice I gave to Kim Seo-hyun, who is currently in the midst of preparing for the selection, was in the same context.
Moon Dong-joo said, "I want to do well with Seohyun (on the starting mound)" and wished,
"I hope Seohyun will focus on what she can do without being too greedy."
Moon Dong-ju also did not hide his satisfaction with the fans' favorite two records.
At the autograph session held at Sajik Stadium that day,
The words that fans mentioned to Moon Dong-ju the most were 'Wanbongseung' and '160'.
One fan said, "I'll look forward to the day you close one day,"
and another asked for 'KBO's first 160' to be written on the autographed ball.
On the 24th of last month, against the NC Dinos in Changwon,
Moon Dong-ju scored 7 strikeouts in 8 innings and played a brilliant reverse with 2 hits and no runs.
Moon Dong-joo cautiously expressed his aspirations, saying,
"Since I threw 8 innings, I have a sense of purpose to throw 9 innings next time."
Regarding his speed record, he proudly said,
"It feels good to be remembered as a player who can throw a ball for 160 km."
