"I'll lead young juniors to come back to fall baseball."

This is his 10th year in the professional baseball league. Nexen picked him as the 49th pick in the fifth round of the 2015 rookie season. Since then, he has been playing on the ground steadily, but he still remains a promising player. A reversal occurred last year when he got married. After getting married, he felt a sense of crisis that if things continue like this, his life in baseball would be over (for no reason)." He quit eating fast food, which he used to like pizza and chicken, and changed his body by eating chicken breasts and healthy food. He also increased the time for batting and physical training, putting everything into it.스포츠토토

The result was amazing. He had a batting average of 0.340 (ranked fifth in the league), 19 homers, 179 hits (ranked fifth), 104 RBIs and 21 steals. Since his debut, he has achieved the highest performance, and became one of the leading hitters in the league. He was named the first All Star in his career and captain of the Premier 12 national team. It was a scene that could be said that he achieved his dream as a professional baseball player. This is the story of Song Seong-moon, the captain of the Kiwoom Heroes.

He also aimed for the Golden Glove, but lost to MVP Kim Do-young, his strong rival. "I wasn't disappointed at all. To be honest, my goal was to become a third baseman who can serve at least one person, so I am satisfied with achieving that goal." Nevertheless, I have a desire to overcome this year.

Experience at the All-Star game and the national team last year was a great learning opportunity. I tried to observe and learn a lot from them regardless of age. Such experiences have greatly helped me lead the team as a captain. Wearing the Kiwoom captain's armband this year as well as last year, he is preparing for a new challenge by uniting the team. For the first time in the team's history (founded in 2008), Kiwoom ranked at the bottom for the second consecutive year. "All the players are united in the determination that they can never be in last place for three consecutive years."

He is committed to doing his best to overcome his disgrace, but the situation is not easy. Kim Hye-sung (26), the main second baseman and center of offense and defense, has flown to the Major League. Jo Sang-woo (31), the flagship closer, has also moved to Kia, while failing to catch even the first and second starting foreign pitchers Ariel Furado (29) and Enmanuel de Heysus (29) of KT. "As the team's slugger Yasiel Puig (35) and Ruben Cardinez (28) are joining the team, the team's batting average will be better than last year," Song said. Last year, the Kiwoom team's batting average (0.264) was the lowest among the 10 teams.

Pitchers also need to rebound. With the team's ERA (5.16) dropped, Kenny Rosenberg (30) and Ha Young-min (30, 9-8, 4.37) who played as full starters for the first time last year are largely to blame. "Young pitchers such as Kim Yoon-ha (20) and Jeon Joon-pyo (20) who gained experience as starters last year are also worth paying attention to," Song said. Notably, Kim frequently throws fastballs over 150 kilometers, raising expectations for his stellar performance. Chung Hyeon-woo (19), the first rookie in the team, and Kim Seo-joon (19), the seventh in the team, will also join the team.

"I forgot all about last year's (personal) honor. Now the team comes first," he stressed. As soon as the season is over, he took a week off and is concentrating on his individual training. His goal for this season is not just to eliminate the last place in the 脫. "Externally, they perceive Kiwoom as a 'weakness' but disagree," he said. "As a team with many young prospects, we can go beyond fall baseball to join the Korean Series if we get the mood." "I'm also a player who grew up failing countless times. As a captain, I want to create an atmosphere where young players enjoy baseball without being intimidated. Then, he will become a 'surprise star' just like I did last year."
