KT Park Byeong-ho injured his left calf during the Suwon-Hanhwa match on the 9th
and prepares for the match as a pinch hitter instead of a starter.
Park Byeong-ho
who met with reporters ahead of the resignation Lotte match on the 27th
said
The condition is improving.
He said
The team is doing well
so I’m not in a hurry and I’m building my body step by step.
He continued
The team’s performance is good and (Oh) Yoon Seok-i is doing very well
so there is no reason to be impatient.
I am so happy to see juniors like Yoon Seok-i and 지울프-토토 (Moon) Sang-cheol working very hard but not having the opportunity to show their abilities
doing well.
He is cheering hard as a senior
he added.
Back-up members are unfamiliar to Park Byung-ho.
It was awkward at first
he said.
He wondered how he should prepare
but now he prepares by moving a lot from the first episode.
I am doing image training on what to do when I step into the plate.
Park Byung-ho’s trademark is a home run.
Park Byeong-ho
who hit 35 home runs last year
has only 10 home runs this season. In response
he said
I want to do well this season
but it is true that it is regrettable that there are not many (home runs).
It’s not that I don’t have a desire for long hits.
He said
If my ability to produce long hits is lost
my strengths will disappear
so I will overcome and overcome.”
Kim Sang-soo
who played for Samsung until last year after making his professional debut in 2009
obtained FA qualification and moved to KT.
Park Byeong-ho was pleased with the effect of Kim Sang-soo recruitment.
The reason is that it has a positive effect on the atmosphere of the team as well as his skills.
He is also a skill
but he is a very positive player.
Even when the team’s performance was very poor at the beginning of the season, it must have been a lot of pressure as a free agent player
so thank you so much for working hard.
It must be difficult playing shortstop (a position that consumes a lot of stamina)
but I am so grateful that I do not show it
and I take good care of my juniors and have a positive influence on the entire team.
Kim Sang-soo played a big role in our team’s rebound”.
Byungho Park said:
Park Byeong-ho continued
I was with (Kim Sang-soo) in the national team
but I didn’t know he was such a positive player.
He must have made a big decision to move to KT
but he is so grateful that he has shown a good figure from the team’s difficult time at the beginning of the season until now
he added.
As a veteran
he is in a position where he has to look at the entire squad.
Park Byeong-ho said
Originally
if you win
fatigue is relieved quickly
and if you lose
it is more difficult.
He felt that at some point the players got used to winning and the coordination between the coaching staff and the squad improved.
Injured players are coming back to reinforce the team.
It seems that everyone has a positive energy.
When asked about his goals for this season
Park Byung-ho said
I haven’t achieved any of the goals I set before the season.
As of now
the priority is to recover from the injury as soon as possible and enter the starting member.
My goal is to advance to the fall stage with the highest ranking possible.
