Cheon Seong-ho, who has made the leap from prospect to KT's starting second baseman, shared his fondness for his junior Ryu Hyun-in.

Cheon Sung-ho started at second base and batted second in a home game against the Doosan Bears of the 2024 Shinhan Bank KBO League at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, South Korea, on April 28.

On that day, Chun had a dominant performance with six hits, five RBIs, and two runs scored. The five hits were the most in a single game in his career. His previous high was three hits.

They have 15 hits in their opening five games. Multiple hits in every game is standard. His season batting average is 0.682, far ahead of second-place Park Chan-ho (0.538).

Chun's growth has been fueled by commerce. After getting a taste of the professional game with 14 hits and a batting average of .203 in 66 games in his debut season, Chun joined the Sangmu the following year to fulfill his military service. After a breakout season, Cheon Sung-ho returned to the team with a .350 batting average and the Futures League South League batting title.

Meanwhile, on the same day, KT infielder Ryu Hyun-in and pitcher Kim Jung-woon were announced to have been accepted by the organization. A KT official said that Cheon Seong-ho was more than happy to hear the news of Ryu's move to the business world.

The two are alumni of Jinheung High School and Dankook University and are close classmates. Although they didn't play together in high school, they were roommates in college, with Cheon Sung-ho being a senior and Ryu Hyun-in a freshman.

Cheon Sung-ho is so fond of Ryu that he changed all of his game IDs to "Ryu Hyun-in". After Ryu was nominated as a pro, he personally left a message for the front desk saying, "Take care of yourself.

Chun Sung-ho told Ryu Hyun-in, "Sangsang was a place where I could try things I couldn't do in the first team. I want you to solidify the basics, but I want you to do more of what you want to do and what you 바카라사이트 can do." "Also, there are a lot of players who are better in the pros, so I want you to ask each other a lot, learn from each other, and go to the next level. Congratulations," he concluded.

"The best part is that I can continue to work on my baseball fundamentals after joining the military," Ryu said through the organization. I will try to make the most of this time and use it as an opportunity to improve myself. I want to become a player who can be a big help to the team's infield like my brother (Chun) Sung-ho, who is currently playing after leaving the military."

Kim Jung-woon, the team's first-round right-handed pitching prospect, said, "My first goal is to build a body that can rotate in the starting rotation at Sangsang," adding, "I will try to gain practical experience while rotating in the starting rotation and try various things so that I can make it to the first team after my discharge from the military."
