SSG Choo Shin-soo + Kim Kang-min + Jeong Sang-ho
Another 82-year-old has landed at SSG Landers, a professional baseball player.
Veteran catcher Sang-ho Sang-ho (39) joined SSG.
SSG announced the news of the recruitment of Sangho on the 20th.
SSG is’parent’ to Sang-ho.
He is the first nominated player for the foundation of SK Wyverns, the predecessor of SSG.
Choo Shin-soo (39), who flew to SSG from the major leagues, also welcomed Sang-ho’s joining.
Shin-soo Choo and Sang-ho Sang-ho are the same age born in 1982.
It is also a relationship between winning the World Youth Baseball Championship in Edmonton, Canada in 2000, playing together as the national team.
On the 20th, Shin-soo Choo laughed at the news that Sang-ho had joined at Changwon NC Park in Gyeongnam, saying, “Is the total age of 120?”
It also meant that the’Korean age’ of the same age beasts together with the outfielder Kim Kang-min (39), born in 1982, would be 120 years old.
Including pitcher Shin Jae-woong (39) in the second group, the total age of four SSG players born in 1982 will be 160 years old.
It’s like the ages of eight rookie players combined.
Choo Shin-soo has high expectations.
After entering Korea, he confirmed that he had talked with Sang-ho during self-quarantine.
Regarding Jeong Sang-ho, Choo Shin-soo said, “I feel sorry that I couldn’t show it properly compared to my skills,” he said. “He is a player who will be helpful enough for the team.
I hope it will help a lot because I know enough skills.”
SSG coach Kim Won-hyung is also the same as Choo Shin-soo.
Director Kim said, “Jung Sang-ho has a lot of experience,” he said. “It will help our team to have a lot of young catchers besides Jae-won Lee, Hyun-seok Lee and Heung-ryun Lee.”
“It’s not like asking Jung Sang-ho to show him in many games right away.
During the season, a difficult situation will definitely come, and I think I will do it at that time.”
Coach Kim said, “I’m forty at our age, and it would not be easy to have three players in their 40s, including Choo Shin-soo and Kim Kang-min,” laughed and emphasized, “Experience is important.”
