kt rookie infielder Son Min-seok (18) raised expectations for the new season by scoring an RBI against the Korean baseball team participating in the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC).
On the 24th (Korean time), kt played an evaluation match against the Korean baseball team participating in the 2023 World Baseball Classic (WBC) at the Veterans Memorial Stadium in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Unlike the official game, the lineup was operated irregularly by agreement between the two teams.
Son Min-seok is currently dispatched to support the national team. He is filling the vacancy of active big leaguers Kim Ha-seong (San Diego) and Tommy Hyeon-soo Edman (St. Louis), who were delayed joining the national team. In this game, he started as the 9th batter and second baseman wearing the uniform of the national team.
However, in the second half of the game, he returned to his team kt and played the game. In the ninth inning, where kt was behind 0-8, it hit 2 RBIs against national team pitcher Koo Chang-mo (NC). He recorded kt’s only RBI and prevented defeat. In addition, Kim Sang-soo, Song Min-seop, Oh Yoon-seok, Anthony Alford, and Bae Jeong-dae each had one hit.
Son Min-seok from Gyeongnam High School joined kt with the 30th pick in the 3rd round of the rookie draft. Ahead of his first season in the KBO League, he is gaining valuable experience while working with his national team seniors. 온라인카지노
