Kiwoom Heroes' rising star Yeo Dong-wook (19) showed his full potential in the exhibition game. His last at-bat was decorated with a dramatic solo shot, sending Lotte Giants closer Kim Won-joong's 146km/h fastball over the left wall.바카라
Throughout the exhibition game, Yeo Dong-wook recorded two home runs, which was the most outstanding performance among rookies. He hit his second home run in this game after the game against the NC Dinos on the 8th, tying for second place in the exhibition game after his team senior Lee Ju-hyung (3 home runs).
His batting average was a little low at 0.214 (6 hits in 28 at-bats), but he showed his potential by recording three long balls (two homers and one double). "I haven't had a good batting feeling recently, but I did a good job at my last at-bat ahead of the regular season," he said, expressing his humble feelings.
Yeo Dong-wook, a native of Sangwon High School in Daegu and nominated by Kiwoom in the 27th place in the 3rd round, is receiving special attention from head coach Hong Won-ki. He cited "punch power and stable defense" as his strength, and the possibility of including the opening entry is also expected.
In particular, he is growing rapidly by training with foreign players such as Yasiel Puig and Ruben Cardinez. His passion for learning is palpable in his words, "I am learning hard from coaches, seniors, and foreign players."
Ahead of the opening match to be held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on Tuesday, Yeo did not hide her expectations for a match with Samsung, her hometown team. She also showed high expectations for a match between Bae Chan-seung, who was nominated in the first round, and Kim Soo-ho, who is also a high school student.
Coach Hong Won-ki said, "It was good to take your own swing even at a disadvantageous ball count," and expressed a positive evaluation of Yeo Dong-wook.
Armed with the spirit and passion of a rookie, Yeo Dong-wook is expected to grow in the future.
