KT's Park Byeong-ho "No Fighting Spirit due to Injury this Year"

Jeong-jun, who produces home runs with a healthy body, said, "We will recover our slugging percentage."

A supportive message to Jeong-hoo Lee, "A junior who has prepared for a long time... will definitely succeed."

“I will not listen to the words ‘fighting spirit due to injury’ this year.”

Park Byeong-ho (37), the main hitter of professional baseball team KT Wiz, is a symbol of ‘fighting spirit’.

In the last two years he played for KT, he overcame various injuries and led the team. 온라인카지노

Park Byeong-ho, who was recommended for surgery in September 2022 due to a ligament injury in the front and back of his right ankle, insisted on participating in the game, saying he did not want to pour cold water on the team's last-minute competition for rankings, and performed phenomenally, including hitting home runs as a pinch hitter.

The ‘fighting spirit from injuries’ continued last year as well.

Park Byeong-ho, who injured his left calf while batting in August of last year, completed the season with pain and set an example for his juniors.

Even in his worst physical condition, Park Byung-ho's performance was not bad.

In the 2022 season, he became the home run king with a batting average of 0.275, 35 home runs, and 98 RBI, and last season, he played his part with a batting average of 0.283, 18 home runs, and 87 RBI.

However, Byung-ho Park feels disappointed with his records over the past two years.

On the 14th, Park Byeong-ho met with Yonhap News at Hyundai Motor Company's Dream Ball Park in Gijang-gun, Busan, the spring training site, and said, "I have never played an entire season in perfect physical condition since wearing the KT uniform."

He added, "I will not use the 'fighting spirit from injury' modifier this year." “He emphasized.

He then explained his physical condition, saying, “I am focusing on taking care of my body during this spring training,” and “I am not in any pain right now, and I am improving my condition so that I can handle the season well.”

I hope that Park Byung-ho will regain his slugging percentage and power with a healthy body.

He explained, “Last season, I was disappointed that my slugging percentage decreased compared to previous years,” and “In addition, my speed decreased (due to my sore body), and this year, I am focusing on training to improve these two things.”

The goal of spring camp training is to adapt well to the new rules of the KBO League for the 2024 season.

The KBO League is introducing various regulations, such as introducing the Automatic Ball Decision System (ABS) and prohibiting defensive shifts in the new season.

Park Byeong-ho said, “We are preparing for the new season by taking a broader view rather than technical aspects such as revising the batting form,” and added, “We will familiarize ourselves with the new regulations and adapt to create a favorable environment.”

Byung-ho Park also sent a message of support to his close friend Jeong-hoo Lee (San Francisco Giants), who advanced to the Major League Baseball (MLB).

He said, “Lee Jeong-hoo has been fiercely preparing to advance to the MLB for several years,” and added, “After making a thorough plan, he implemented the plan and worked hard.”

He then said, “(Lee) Jung-hoo will follow his own path well in the United States,” and added, “I believe he will definitely succeed.”

Lee Jeong-hoo grew up by seeking a lot of advice from Park Byeong-ho, who had MLB experience while playing for Kiwoom Heroes.

When Park Byung-ho was unable to remain at Kiwoom as a free agent and transferred to KT, he was more disappointed and heartbroken than anyone else.

Byung-ho Park cheered not only on Jeong-hoo Lee, but also Ha-seong Kim (San Diego Padres), who had a meal together at Kiwoom.

He said, “Kim Ha-seong is already developing into one of MLB’s best players, so we expect him to show good performance this year as well.”
