‘Phoenix Park to Taiyaki Park’

“I’m so happy to be able to train with the players who represent Korea,” said Park Seung-kyu (Commercial Outfielder), who will be wearing the uniform of the Asian Professional Baseball Championship (APBC) team.

Since joining Samsung in 2019 after graduating from Gyeonggi University, Park has appeared in 226 first-team games, batting .223 (343-for-79) with four home runs, 25 RBIs, 49 runs scored and eight doubles. Despite not putting up stellar numbers, he showed promise as an outfield prospect with a solid three-ball game.

Wearing a national team uniform for the first time since his professional debut, he saw it as an opportunity to step up his game. “The players I train with are so good. There’s a lot to learn and I’m looking forward to it. I’m going to come back with a lot of learning and experience,” he said. “The individual strengths of each player are so obvious. I’ll ask them all the things I like about them.”

Park played 74 games for the Commerce this season, batting .233 바카라사이트 (59-for-59) with four home runs, 46 RBIs, 39 runs scored and 12 stolen bases.

Lee earned the nickname “The People’s Right Fielder.

“I don’t know if I’m going to play or not, but if I get the chance to play, I’m going to do my best every moment,” said Park, who often made highlight-reel-worthy super catches before joining the military.

“I want to hear that I am a stable player who has improved year by year, and I will do my best so that fans will come to the ballpark to see me,” Park Seung-kyu, who is scheduled to retire next July, concluded the interview.
