“It’s not the number of goals and it doesn’t feel like it was hit well… but the power was well applied.”

Will he be able to overcome the wall of ‘genius shortstop’ Kim Jae-ho (38) this year?

Ahn Jae-seok of the Doosan Bears led the team to a 5-3 victory by firing a tie against Kim Jin-wook in the opening match of an exhibition game against the Lotte Giants held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 13th.

Not only the fierce hitting, but also the light body movements that were harshly trained by coach Cho Seong-hwan stood out. As he was dropped as the starting pitcher, he seemed to have become more accustomed to the ground.

Ahn Jae-seok, who we met after the game, said with a smile, “It was a game that showed how well I prepared hard this winter. It’s good to start with a victory in the first game.”

In his second year, he was expected to be the starting shortstop last year, but suffered from wrist pain and suffered a jinx in his second year. Now his wrist injury has been completely shaken off.

Ahn Jae-seok recalled, “The ball count was advantageous to 3-1, so the idea was to swing lightly with the hitting point in front.

Ahn Jae-seok, who is a left-handed hitter, has a relatively weak point against left-handed pitchers. He said, “Last year and the year before last, I didn’t play well on the day when the left pitcher came out, so there was no side to avoiding it.”

He is the main shortstop who will be responsible for the Jamsil punishment that manager Lee Seung-yeop pointed out. Ahn Jae-seok said, “I definitely want to play the starting pitcher this year. I have a desire to catch it. I worked really hard.” I will become a good player,” he stressed. 위너 토토

Kim Jae-ho, who played as a substitute in the second half of the match, handled the deep batting ball wonderfully in the last 3 intervals in the last defense in the bottom of the 9th inning. Ahn Jae-seok sighed, “As expected, it’s still there. I’m in a position to challenge. I’m trying to make it as similar as possible.”

“It is true that I was not good at defense. Coach Seong-hwan Cho advised me to ‘be more confident’ and gave me a lot of fighting spirit. (The anxiety) seems to have continued to the throw. I feel like I got better because I caught it comfortably. It kills two birds with one stone. I gained confidence.”

On this day, Doosan formed a lineup with young players such as Lee Yoo-chan, Ahn Jae-seok, Kim Dae-han, Song Seung-hwan, and Yang Chan-yeol in the early stages of the game, and left three at-bats. Overall, his confident hitting from the first pitch stood out. Ahn Jae-seok emphasized, “Today’s atmosphere was fun and lively. I tried to hit more actively than usual.”
