I'm not good at riding rollercoasters or Vikings. I'm also afraid of heights."

NC Dinos infielder Seo Ho-cheol (28) hits a batter's box by sticking to his home plate extremely hard. Even though he had two head shots during this season, he did not change his batting style. Few KBO League pitchers are capable of accurate body games to hitters who approach home plate closely. Seo enjoyed the effect of effectively forcing pitchers to compete on the outside.메이저놀이터

He made a reversal confession as above during the final training session at Changwon NC Park on the 1st. It turns out that there are many things he is afraid of. He is not good at rides. But when he enters the ground, he transforms into a fighter.

Seo Ho-cheol said, "Depending on conditions, there are times when a person falls slightly by one foot. I still hit the ball together. It's not scary at all. I got two head shots, but I'm not scared. But I'm not good at riding roller coasters or Vikings. I'm also afraid of heights."

He is a man of unexpected twists. "I got hurt a lot last year, and I'm a little afraid of getting hurt. But when I play baseball, I forget to do it. Rather, I can't do it. When the ball flies in, I think to throw it (with my body) once more. It's less unfair to get hurt in baseball, but it's more unfair to get hurt in life," he said.

By clearly playing his baseball for two consecutive years, he has secured the starting third baseman of the Dinosaur Corps. Although he occasionally played second base, he has now become a player who naturally fits the basic plan of the coach. He has a batting average of 0.285 with 10 homers, 61 RBIs and 68 runs scored in 141 games this season, and an OPS of 0.735. He is a career-high.

Seo Ho-cheol said, "I'm not satisfied with my performance yet. The biggest thing was that I couldn't play my part in the scoring position." In fact, the scoring percentage for this season was 0.243. It was not just Seo Ho-cheol, but NC's batters generally showed less cool shots in chances.

Seo said, "Strangely, I hit a lot of double plays this year because I hit a lot of ground balls at the first base." He actually hit 15. However, he said, "I felt more comfortable. I just wanted to make a good pitch at bat."

Still, he is preparing for the 2025 season by banking on his homework in the scoring position. Seo Ho-cheol said, "I was too greedy at bat. Even if I hit a double play, someone else can do it for me. I think I will be able to handle it well in the scoring position next year. I had a good experience."

Still, it is encouraging that the batting directions have diversified. Seo Ho-cheol said, "I sent a lot of hits to the left last year and to the right this year. I feel that I have grown on my own. When the ball came to my body, I pulled it, and when it came to the outside, I hit it according to my decision. Pushing is not intentional either."

In the 2025 season, Seo Ho-cheol will face a new environment. In fact, he moved to second base for a while due to Kim Hui-jip's addition, which was too much for a player. However, Seo said, "I think it is better to play in multiple positions than to play in one position. Then, I will have more opportunities and other players will be able to arrange their physical strength. Being able to see the infield in many ways can be an advantage to me."

I lost some weight. I focused on hitting long balls this season and gained weight through weight training. However, I realized that wasn't everything. Seo Ho-cheol said, "I don't think I hit a home run by increasing the number of positions. I need to control my body to perform in various positions. I think I need to increase the speed. As I lost weight, I think it's my body. 85-87 kg is perfect for me.

Coincidentally, Seo Ho-cheol said, "Coincidentally, head coach Lee Ho-joon was guiding the first team's batting during the past military service, so there were not many points of contact." "If there is anything lacking this time, I want to grow my own by communicating with the coach," he said.

As a young team, I will show more bright energy next year. Seo Ho-cheol said, "I will show positive and bright energy at the baseball stadium. I want to create a more noisy atmosphere. (Park) Min-woo became the captain and I will try to help him well."
