KIA Tigers Choi Won-joon was discharged from the Armed Forces Sports Unit (Sangmu) on the 11th and joined the first team entry two days later.
As soon as Choi Won-jun was registered in the first team, he digested his return match. He started as a second batter and first baseman against Gocheok Kiwoom on the 13th. His first team appearance was only 591 days after the match against Kiwoom on October 30, 2021.
When Choi Won-jun entered his first at-bat, the fans welcomed his return with applause and cheers. Choi Won-joon took off his helmet and bowed his head toward the crowd.
Choi Won-joon lived up to expectations. He faced starter Ariel Furado in the first inning with one out and hit left field. After that, Choi Won-jun, who recorded a shortstop ground ball and a second baseman ground ball, produced a left-handed hit against Kim Jae-woong in the 8th inning. Choi Won-joon made a successful comeback with 2 hits in 4 at-bats.
Choi Won-joon started as first baseman twice in the game against Kiwoom on the 14th. On this day, Gyeonggi-do Choi Won-joon showed off an elaborate blow.
In the first inning with one out, Choi Won-joon faced off with starting pitcher Won-tae Choi and hit a left-handed hit. Choi Won-jun harassed Choi Won-tae again in the next blow. He maintained his chance by hitting a heavy hit from first out and second base. Choi Won-joon’s hit became a stepping stone for scoring. The follow-up hitter, Socrates Brito, called third base runner Kim Gyu-seong home with a grounder from second baseman.
Choi Won-joon wrote multi-hits in two consecutive games. It was even more encouraging because it was a hit against Hurado, Choi Won-tae, and Kim Jae-woong, the main players of the Kiwoom mound.
KIA coach Kim Jong-guk, who met ahead of the game against Kiwoom on the 14th, said of Choi Won-joon, “It seems that the style before joining the military came out. He made good contact and hit the center of the bat well. The overall timing was good. He played baseball in his own style.” I was satisfied.
However, despite Choi Won-joon’s performance, KIA lost both games by 1 point. The other line suffered from extreme emptiness, where they only scored 1 point in 2 games.
In particular, the search for a hit by the center batting line, which appeared after Choi Won-joon, was painful. For two days, the center batting line was only 1 hit in 23 at-bats and could not raise its head. Choi Won-joon’s struggle was so lonely.
