(Incheon = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Kyung-yoon = Choi Joo-hwan (33), the new face of SSG Landers in the professional baseball KBO league, received great expectations by running a home run in a practice match with the Lotte Giants on the 11th of last month, the first real match after the transfer.
When Choi Joo-Hwan, who had been known as a big infielder during the Doosan Bears, lived up to expectations from the first game, many fans couldn’t hide their excitement.
However, Joo-Hwan Choi was not able to show outstanding performance in the demonstration game.
He participated in a total of six demonstration games and was sluggish with no hits in 16 at-bats.
Joo-Hwan Choi seemed to be worried about the sluggish demonstration game ahead of the opening game with the Lotte Giants held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 4th.
He promised, “Forget about the results of the demonstration game,” and “I did not hit well after recording a home run in a practice game with Lotte. As I enter the regular season with a new mind, I will show a good figure.”
Choi Joo-hwan kept his promise as if he had seen it in the opening game.
Choi Joo-hwan, who started as second baseman for the fifth batter, recorded a hit from the left from the first at-bat in the second inning.
He scored a hit against opposing team Ace Dan Strayley and then stepped on to second base in a blowout.
In the fourth inning, he hit a thunderbolt two-run home run against Strayley.
Choi Joo-hwan’s bat did not stop. He even scored a home run with a dominant wedge against pitcher Choi Jun-yong, who changed in the 8th inning, ahead of 4-2.
He played an active part in 4 at-bats, 3 hits (2 home runs), 3 RBIs, and 2 points.
It also shined in defense. He defended the lead by blocking Ahn Chihong’s assault ball with dazzling lake rain in the 7th 2nd 1st, 2nd base crisis ahead of 3-2.
SSG beat Lotte 5-3 and recorded the first victory in the formation of Choi Joo-Hwan’s big success.
After the game, Joo-Hwan Choi said through the club, “It is my first game of SSG and I am happy to show you a good figure in my personal first game after the transfer.”
