Without Yang Eui-ji and Na Seong-beom, we’re in last place?
he pillars of Yang Eui-ji (36, Doosan Bears) and Na Seong-beom (34, KIA Tigers) were left out. It is also true that the dinosaur army seemed in danger. But when a pillar disappears, a new pillar appears.
When this season started, NC Dinos was not pointed out by anyone as a candidate for the top five. There was a lot of talk about him being the lowest ranked candidate. Na Seong-beom lost in the 2021-2022 FA market, and Yang Eui-ji lost in the 2022-2023 FA market. It did not simply mean a weakening of the central batting line. It meant that the pillar of the team, the focal point that could influence chemistry, was disappearing. 먹튀검증
However, NC defied expectations this season and pushed the KT Wiz to the brink of failure. The Korean Series between the LG Twins and KT Wiz is currently in full swing, but NC was also a star of fall baseball. Basically, Eric Peddy, who not only perfectly filled the void of Drew Luchinski but also played the role of two to three starting pitchers, was decisive. He was responsible for the team’s 20 wins.
In addition, the national team’s No. 1 to 3 lineup, consisting of FA trio Son Ah-seop (35), Park Min-woo (30), and Park Geon-woo (33), ultimately played their part faithfully both on and off the field. Park Geon-woo played his part for two years in a row, and Son Ah-seop and Park Min-woo overcame last year’s sluggish performance and led the batting lineup all the way to the playoffs.
It is said that their influence was great even off the pitch. Captain Son Ah-seop energized the young players by spreading positive messages every day, and Park Min-woo was the first to approach the mound and calm down Peddie when he got excited.
He is good at baseball, so it can be seen that he has the so-called ‘horse feet’. However, it is said that more than that, the royalties for the team were considerable. Not to mention founding member Park Min-woo, Son Ah-seop has always been a great team-first player. I took the initiative and the team ran well. There is a reason why Coach Kang In-kwon said “Thank you so much” to Son Ah-seop in particular after losing in the playoffs.
There was controversy over Park Geon-woo’s work style at the end of the first half of the season. He did something serious that shook up the team chemistry. However, even at that time, although the team’s performance was up and down, the team atmosphere was surprisingly calm. Even though there was an atmosphere of ‘this is a big problem’ from the outside, the inside was full of determination to continue the season as normally as possible, and there was not much turmoil.
Later, according to the club’s public relations team, it is said that after his return, Park Geon-woo expressed his gratitude and apology by sharing the products he was sponsoring with the members. After this incident, Park Geon-woo’s expression also changed noticeably. He had a different energy, as he greeted reporters with a bright smile. And to the outside world, it was an incident that once again made them aware of Director Kang In-kwon’s teachings and principles
NC has confirmed the potential of many young jockeys through this season. Kim Joo-won, Seo Ho-cheol, Kim Hyeong-jun, Ryu Jin-wook, and Kim Young-gyu made me confident that the good experiences of this year could become a driving force for the future. However, it was also a season in which the central point and pillar of the team, connecting Na Seong-beom and Yang Eui-ji, was confirmed. I read the potential in Son Ah-seop’s presence, and even in Park Geon-woo and Park Min-woo. If you look at it, it was the 2023 season of Dinosaur Corps that there was nothing to throw away.
