Wearing the Kiwoom Heroes uniform, Lee Won-seok laughed at the Gocheok Sky Dome on the 27th, saying that the uniform doesn’t seem to suit him yet.
On the 27th, 메이저사이트 ahead of the match against KT Wiz in the 2023 Shinhan Bank Sol KBO League held at Gocheok Sky Dome, Lee Won-seok smiled shyly, saying, “I don’t think the Kiwoom uniform suits me yet. I will wear it every day.”
Due to the trade between Kiwoom and Samsung Lions that day, Lee Won-seok wore a Kiwoom uniform. Instead, Kiwoom sent bullpen pitcher Kim Tae-hoon to Samsung and received Lee Won-seok and the 3rd round nomination for the 2024 season rookie draft.
Lee Won-seok confessed, “I thought a lot while coming up. I had a lot of emotions while thinking about the future in Samsung and Kiwoom.”
He had been playing for Samsung since 2017, so he heard a lot about it, and there was no way he could not help but regret it.
“I went to the baseball field to pack my things. It’s fortunate that I was able to meet (Oh) Seunghwan hyung, (Kang) Minho hyung, (Uh) Kyumin hyung, (Oh) Jaeil, and (former) Jawook. I did. Still, I was chosen by Kiwoom in the professional world. I want to focus on the team,” he said calmly.
He recalled memories with Samsung fans, saying, “My family and I have been loved by so many fans. We had a really comfortable and fun time over the years. He also added, “I will work hard to bring joy to the fans in my new team.”
Lee Won-seok said, “Oddly enough, it’s a game in Daegu next week. I think I’ll feel it when I go to the away team’s dugout.”
Kiwoom, which has suffered from a recent severe downturn, has high expectations for Lee Won-seok. Since there is no solid first baseman in Kiwoom, Lee Won-seok, who can defend both third and first base, has a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Lee Won-seok said, “There is a defense, but I think they expect a lot from the offense. As much as they brought me with that expectation, I will try my best on the offense side to help the team and produce results.”
In addition, he said, “I am grateful that the general manager needed me and brought me. Now other teams do not need me, so I want to stay here and finish well.”
On this day, Kiwoom coach Hong Won-ki said, “(Lee Won-seok) is good at it, so he is running (directly as a starter)” and put Lee Won-seok on the starting list as the 5th batter and first baseman.
He said that he always thought of Kiwoom as a strong team.
Lee Won-seok said, “(Kiwoom) has always been a difficult team to play. There are many good players.
At the same time, he expressed his satisfaction with the new home stadium, saying, “When I came to Gocheok, the batted ball did not fly well in practice batting.
