“I’m trying to do it until the end from the position of a challenger.”
Moon Sang-cheol (32) of kt Wiz is a player with long hitting power who hit 122 home runs in the Futures League alone. In particular, when he was in the Armed Forces Athletic Corps (Sangmu) in 2017 and 2018, he was very active with 58 home runs and 179 RBIs, and his potential was recognized.
However, he failed to show his full potential in the first team. He seemed to be bursting with 40 hits, 8 homers and 25 RBIs in the 2020 season, but it was short-lived. He doesn’t show consistency, and his chances are getting less and less. In the end, after his debut in the 2022 season, he only made 28 appearances, his lowest. He had a batting average of 0.224, 2 home runs and 4 RBIs.
Moon Sang-cheol was not invited to the 1st team spring camp, and is preparing for the 2023 season in the 2nd team.
Moon Sang-cheol, whom I recently met, said, “I start the season in the 2nd team for the first time after my debut. At first he was in a bad mood, but he thinks he has a meaning. The director and coach are very considerate. So far, my condition has not been bad.”
Even when he thought about it, his performance last season was completely disappointing. So, he is looking for a way to grow with the help of kt Futures coach Kim Ki-tae and kt Futures hitting coach Yuhan-jun, who are from KBO legend Geopo.
Moon Sang-cheol said, “Isn’t that a legend? When I get a chance, I try to talk a lot. According to the advice of the coach, he modified the way the bat came out. “Last year, the number of games was small and the record was not good. He has to prepare hard,” he said vigorously. 토토사이트
Regarding director Kim Ki-tae, “He emphasizes that there should be no distractions in the very basic parts of life. He said that there is a part where the coach called veteran players and talked to them separately before the start of camp. He is watched by his younger friends, so when he trains, he also takes care of his juniors and hopes that he will work hard. We are working hard just like the director said.”
In the 2021 and 2022 seasons, he prepared for the season as an outfielder, but this time he is focusing on first base defense again. His competitors are national team members Park Byeong-ho and Kang Baek-ho, but he challenges
He said, “I want to show perfect performances as a first baseman this year. 1st baseman is so good. He also talked to the manager and coaches, and he said, ‘I want to focus on first base.’ From the standpoint of the challenger, I try to do it until the end. I plan to prepare hard,” he said vigorously.
Finally, Moon Sang-cheol said, “It is not over just because we are here. If I prepare well and go to the first team again, I think it can be a good time in hindsight.”
