Taking the PO with a cold… “I want to feel the unique feeling of the Korean series again this year.”
Park Geon-woo (33, NC Dinos)'s postseason batting average during his time with the Doosan Bears was 0.206 (41 hits in 199 at-bats).
Considering the value of Park Geon-woo, who ranks 3rd overall and 2nd among active hitters in the Korean Professional Baseball KBO League with over 3,000 at-bats with a personal batting average of 0.326, this is an unbecoming performance. 토토사이트
The first place in KBO's career batting average is Lee Jeong-woo (0.340, Kiwoom Heroes), and the second place is the late Jang Hyo-jo, former Samsung Lions second team coach.
Park Geon-woo, who wore the NC uniform and played a total of 7 games in this year's wild card game, semi-playoff, and playoff (PO), recorded 11 hits in 28 at-bats (batting average of 0.393), 1 home run, and 7 RBI on the fall stage of 2023.
Park Geon-woo, whom we met at Changwon NC Park on the 2nd, said, “I don’t necessarily think about my past grades.
“Because today and tomorrow are more important than the past,” he said, citing ‘composure’ as the reason for the postseason rebound.
Park Geon-woo said, “Of course, I know that my previous postseason performance was poor.
However, there were also series where we did well (like the 2021 semi-playoffs where we had a batting average of 0.417),” he said.
“If we get stuck in the past and say, ‘Because I wasn’t good before,’ I think we’ll feel even more discouraged.”
I only think about how to play well today and how to make up for it tomorrow if I don't play well today.
“To be honest, I’m not even looking at this year’s postseason records,” he added.
In fact, Park Geon-woo is taking this PO while suffering from a cold and body aches.
In order to comply with doping regulations, I chose 'natural healing'.
He confessed, "This cold is really severe and lasts a long time," and "I'm really careful because I'm afraid I might spread the cold to my colleagues.
I'm not 100% healthy."
However, his batting sense is so strong that he has 4 hits in 12 at-bats, 1 home run, and 4 RBIs in PO.
He also hit two doubles, and three of his four hits were extra-base hits.
Park Geon-woo also laughed, saying, “Strike Coach Song Ji-man jokes, ‘What would it be like to play this year’s postseason with a cold?’”
Park Geon-woo, who plays the postseason while maintaining his composure, also feels warm when he thinks of the Korean Series.
Park Geon-woo, who played the Korean Series for 7 consecutive seasons at Doosan from 2015 to 2021 and won the championship three times (2015, 2016, 2019), said, “The Korean Series is new every time.
Only players who have played in it know the atmosphere.”
He added, “Changwon.
“I really want to play the Korean Series at NC Park,” he said.
Although they lost to kt wiz in the 3rd game of PO on the 2nd, NC still holds the advantage with 2 wins and 1 loss in PO with 3 wins out of 5.
Park Geon-woo laughed and said, “They say that one postseason game consumes about as much stamina as 7 regular season games.
I do n’t know if that’s true, but recently, after a game, I fall asleep right away at my dorm.”
He added, “That’s how thrilling the postseason is.
Korea is the biggest stage.”
“I want to go up to the series and feel that feeling until the end of the season,” he said.
