2024 has been a season of bad luck for NC Dinos outfielder Park Kun-woo (35). He ended the season after being hit twice by Park Se-woong's pitch in the wrist against the Changwon Lotte Giants on July 26. He also tried to come back at the end of the season, but it was not easy.먹튀검증
In 89 games, Park finished the season with a batting average of 0.344, 13 homers, 53 RBIs and 58 runs scored with an OPS of 0.951 and a batting average of 0.375. He hit .300, but failed to meet the required batting average. He finished the season with eight years of 30% in consecutive at-bats that began in 2016 when he was a member of the Doosan Bears.
The reason why this is so meaningless is that he almost tied Yang Joon-hyuk, the best player in the field, but failed. Yang hit .300 in regulation right after his debut in 1993. He hit .300 in regulation for nine consecutive years until 2001 when he was with the LG Twins. He returned to the Samsung Lions in 2022 with a batting average of 0.276, failing to hit .300 in regulation for 10 consecutive years.
In other words, Park had a golden chance to compete with Yang in the 2024 season, but he blew it because of a dune injury. KBS N Sports commentator Jang Sung-ho also hit .281 in 2007 for the ninth consecutive year from 1998 to 2006.
When Lee Ho-joon was appointed as coach in November last year, Park said that he was in the final stages of rehabilitation. He said that there would be no problem in preparing for the 2025 season. Coach Lee Ho-joon recently said on the club's YouTube channel that there is a high possibility that Park will be assigned the starting center fielder for this year. Since he has not signed a contract with FA Kim Sung-wook, it is right to exclude him and devise a season.
Park Geon-woo also saw center field during his time with the Doosan Bears. He has maintained defense capability. However, he has played right field more often than center field. However, Lee Ho-joon will leave the center field to Park Geon-woo, and will make a combination by using many players in the left and right outfield. Since he also rotates designated hitters, it is hard to conclude that Kwon Hee-dong and Son A-seop are the main players in left and right field.
In other words, physical fitness management is important for Park. Coach Lee Ho-joon predicted that this season will be a season that consumes a lot of physical strength due to the wide range of left and right defense. If the center of the outfielder's defense is removed in the middle of the game, the center of the outfielder's defense will collapse, so he will give a full rest for one game when he is having a hard time." Of course, according to Lee Ho-joon, Park claimed to play 144 games.
Unofficially, Park hit .300 for the 10th consecutive year from 2015 to last year. He is the third (first place Lee Jung-hoo 0.340 and second place Jang Hyo-jo 0.330) among all KBO hitters who have played more than 3,000 at-bats with a 0.327 overall batting average and is currently the first in active duty. With 1,414 hits in total, Park is expected to surpass 1,500 hits this season without difficulty.
