Park Kun-woo 34 of the NC Dinos has never seen his batting average fall below .300 for the past nine years. He has also consistently hit double-digit home runs except in 2021.
This is why NC Dinos paid a total of 10 billion won for six years in 2021. As it has excellent accuracy and power, it has established itself as a right-handed hitter representing KBO.
His consistency earned him high marks in cumulative total. Park's overall batting average is 326. In terms of overall batting average based on 3,000 or more at-bats, Park is ranked third. Lee Jung-hoo 0.340 ranks first, followed by the late Jang Hyo-jo 0.330.
Lee Jung-hoo signed a six-year contract worth a total of $113 million with the San Francisco Giants of the U.S. Major League Baseball at the end of last season. Now, Park Kun-woo ranks first in overall batting average.
KBO is facing major changes this season. Along with the restriction of defensive shift, the automatic pitching determination system ABS will be introduced.
Most of all, it is the implementation of ABS. Now, the camera installed in the stadium, not the referee, makes strike and ball decisions. The intention is to ensure consistency in the strike zone. ABS was not introduced in the United States and Japan, which have a larger market than Korea.
Regarding the introduction of the shift, Park Gun-woo said, "I don't really shift to me," and said he was not affected much.
However, his eyes glared at the story of ABS introduction. With the story of defensive shift, Park Kun-woo said, "I'm curious about the strike zone," adding, "I can't wait to experience it."
The reason I welcomed Park Gun-woo is that he is a robot referee, so he is consistent enough. "I think judges are all human, and they can make mistakes, and sometimes they can mix emotions," Park said. "But if they give a strike to one ball that falls out on the outside, I thought it would be nice if all judges would give it a strike." It was confusing because each referee has a slightly different strike zone. If a robot referee comes and gives a strike zone to a ball that gets stuck in the ground, you can deal with it and prepare accordingly. If that part is clear, I think it will be okay. Rather, I think it would be good. I just want consistency."
This season, Park Kun-woo is preparing for this season with a more relaxed mind. Park had 12 home runs with a batting average of 319 in 130 games last year, and won the Golden Glove award in the outfield category. It is his first Golden Glove award since his debut.
Park Gun-woo smiled broadly, saying, "I was so happy," as it was a "golden glove" that he could not reach.
I was able to naturally let go of my greed. "I wish I could ride again, but now that I have achieved my goal, I will pretend that if I work hard, I will follow suit," Park said. "I hope I can do better and finish my baseball career well now. I will become a player who can maintain my skills and live quietly for a long time." 토토사이트 순위
