[스포츠]Shin-soo Choo stepped on’Sajik Stadium’ in his hometown…He joined SSG after quarantine

[앵커]

After two weeks of self-isolation, major league superstar Choo Shin-soo joined the professional baseball SSG (SGS) Landers squad.

As early as possible, he will appear on the plate for the first time in next week’s practice match.

Choo Shin-soo, wearing the SSG uniform of the new team, enters the ground.

It is unfortunately that the baseball field where he first stepped into a KBO league player is the Sajik Stadium in his hometown of Busan.

[추신수 / SSG 외야수 : 사직야구장에 들어오는 순간 내가 여기서 야구선수의 꿈을 키웠던 곳이라는 생각을 하면서 조금 뭉클한 마음이 들었습니다.]

We had a nice first greeting with coach Kim Won-hyung and teammates who finished the practice match with Lotte.

A junior Lee Taeyang, who gave over uniform number 17, was separately called out and presented a luxury watch.

This is a major league-style thank you sign.

[추신수 / SSG 외야수 : 이태양 선수가 크게 생각하지 않고, 먼저 (등번호를) 양보해줘서 정말 고마운 마음에 제가 미국에서 한국에 오기 전에 이미 준비해서 왔어요.]

Shin-soo Choo did not stop taking care of himself because he thought of going to the baseball field even during the two-week self-isolation period.

This season’s goal is to win, not a specific number or record.

[추신수 / SSG 외야수 : 저는 이 1년이 개인적으로 그냥 한국야구를 경험해보겠다는 생각으로 온 게 아니고, 이기러 왔습니다.]

Munhak Stadium’s locker was assigned to a seat next to a friend of the same age, Kim Kang-min, who volunteered as a KBO league assistant.

It looks like he’ll be hitting two or three times, and he’ll be in left field.

[추신수 / SSG 외야수 : 어떤 타순에 저를 넣으시든 저는 할 준비가 돼 있고요. (수비는) 이진영 코치님한테, 선배님이시고, 수비도 워낙 잘하셨던 분이시니까 제가 좀 많이 물어보려고 합니다.]

Choo Shin-soo is expected to be at bat for the first time in a practice match with Samsung held in Daegu on the 16th and 17th.

Although it is not a few years old, no one doubts Choo’s performance.

SSG, which is entering the season with a new name, is also challenging to win from the first year of its foundation with a tight hitting line.
