KIA Tigers' 201-hit MVP Seo Kun-chang has become N Jobber. After moving to Kia, he moved to the first base and expanded his field to the left field this year. Following a practice game in Okinawa, he briefly moved to the left field at an exhibition game against the Changwon NC Dinos on Tuesday.카지노

Seo joined Kia starting from the 2024 season. He played first baseman, second baseman, and pinch hitter. He tried but failed to become the main runner at the LG Twins, and is a backup role for KIA. Then, he finally made a comeback with a batting average of 0.310 with 26 RBIs and 40 runs scored with an OPS of 0.820 in 94 games during the 2024 season.

Ahead of this season, he signed an FA contract for 500 million won per year. Rumor has it that the settlement process was not simple. There was also a period when negotiations were temporarily suspended due to marriage and honeymoon. Anyway, he decided to stay at KIA. During this contract period, if the team performs the role they want and takes good care of their body, they can sign another multi-year contract.

He has started anew this year. He went out to the outfield for the first time since his professional debut. Basically, Kia is rich in outfielders. Many predict that Seo will not be able to play as an outfielder. "I feel like I'm preparing for the second or third time," coach Lee Bum-ho said ahead of the match against the Changwon NC Dinos on Tuesday. In fact, Lee Chang-jin is taking a break due to a sprained left hamstring, but Park Jung-woo, Ko Jong-wook, and Kim Seok-hwan are on standby. Rookie Park Jae-hyun is also joining the exhibition game.

Seo's most important role is as a substitute. However, depending on the situation in the game, there are cases where he is deployed as a substitute and has to play defense without skipping, and players with overlapping positions have to organize and distribute themselves on the bench. At this point, if Seo sees the outfield, he has more options. Seo received a puncture in the outfield from the Irvine camp.

"There could be a situation where one person has to go out to the outfield after using the substitute. Wisdom also watched the outfield, but I think it would be better to use a keungchang instead of using Wisdom," coach Lee Bum-ho said. "Since it is an exhibition game, there will be only a limited number of situations where we can use it if we go to the pennant race."

The team said it was okay to play defense in the outfield itself. "He's good at following the ball since he's fast-paced. He followed me well when I saw him practice with outfielders," Lee said. He also takes full advantage of his fast-paced capabilities in outfield defense.

In fact, the second most important role after the pinch hitter is defense at first and second bases. In the Tuesday's game, he failed to catch shortstop Hong Jong-pyo's running throw properly at the second base. It was not a difficult throw, but he made a mistake. However, overall, his defense capability at second base is not rusty. Some say that his range has narrowed, but it is hard to say that his feet have completely slowed down.

Seo Geon-chang has become the N Jobber. He has been reborn as one of the most useful players in the team.
