The Kiwoom Heroes' batting lineup this season is definitely worth watching. The top five batting lines, consisting of Yasiel Puig, Ruben Cardinez, Lee Ju-hyung, Song Sung-moon and Choi Joo-hwan, are also powerful, but the batting talents of the "three rookies" Jeon Tae-hyun, Yeo Dong-wook and Eo Jun-seo are also considerable.안전놀이터
In particular, Yeo Dong-wook and Eo Jun-seo are the main characters of the debut home run of high school rookie players, who have only appeared five times in the 43-year history of KBO. After KT Wiz's Kang Baek-ho in 2017, SSG Landers Kim Sung-min in 2020, and Samsung Lions' Kim Young-woong in 2022, Yeo Dong-wook is the fourth, and Eo Jun-seo is the fifth.
Left-handed batter Eo Jun-seo made his debut as soon as he was registered in the first division of the match against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on Saturday. He even appeared as the leadoff hitter in the top of the fifth inning, and when Adam Oler pushed a four-pitch cutter to the center, he pulled it hard and hit a solo shot. In his debut match, he had two hits, one RBI and two runs including a home run.
"I'm honored to put my name on the milestone," Eo said ahead of the match against KIA in Gwangju on Sunday. "I didn't aim for a home run, and I just wanted to hit a fastball. If I get in the (strike) zone, I will hit it no matter what. Having played well in the second division, I was confident. I wasn't nervous at all," he said.
It was effective in the second division. "Coach Kim Tae-wan gave us a good balance. Just think about it when it doesn't fit," Eo said. "I'm good at number fighting, and I don't get strikeouts. It's my first time doing weight training where I get hit by a baseball player," Eo said. "I also feel my power is strengthening."
What is interesting is that both Eo Jun-seo and Jeon Tae-hyun are former shortstop, and their role models are Oh Ji-hwan (LG Twins). Eo Jun-seo said, "I started baseball because of Oh Ji-hwan, and I want to play baseball like Park Sung-han (SSG Landers)."
Eo Jun-seo is from Gyeonggi High School. He is a junior directly under Oh Ji-hwan. Then, Eo said embarrassedly, "The same goes to junior high school." Of course, I didn't mean it, but that's what happened. Eo said, "My parents are fans of LG. I fell in love with Oh Ji-hwan because he greeted me at the baseball stadium when I was a rookie."
His love and respect for Oh naturally grew as he became a shortstop. "I bought gloves just like Oh Ji-hwan," Eo said. Then, did you feel sorry that you couldn't join LG. "I didn't want to go to the same team because I wanted to meet and face each other," he said.
He expressed confidence in shortstop's defense. "I'm confident that I'll catch all the balls that go to the third period and get them out. Stable defense is my strength. I'm confident in my shoulders. I lack food work and judgment on my batting. I couldn't get used to it because the batting was fast, but I lack that," Eo said.
Lastly, Eo said, "My goal this year is to survive in the first division for a long time. I want to be a person with good personality outside the ballpark." Anyway, Eo will look forward to the game against LG. Kiwoom and LG will hold their first three games of this season at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul from April 8 to 10.
