Kiwoom Heroes' head coach and captain strongly expressed their willingness to take a leap forward.메이저놀이터
The 2025 opening Media Day was held at Lotte Hotel in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 22nd, two days before the opening of the KBO League. Coaches and representative players from 10 teams gathered to communicate their determination with baseball fans.
The announcer asked the coaches and players to express their goals for the 2025 season with their fingers. Only Hanwha Eagles coach Kim Kyung-moon and players stretched out their three fingers, while 27 others emphasized that they would win with one finger.
Last season's performance is not important. It is a venue that demonstrates one's commitment to advance to a higher position. The same was true of the Kiwoom Heroes, who ranked 10th for the last two consecutive seasons.
Hong's bid was strong. "I won't say much. I will be the last one to enter next year's Media Day," Hong said.
At the event, coaches and players of the 10 teams entered in reverse order of last season's rankings. Coach Hong Won-ki and players Song Seong-moon and Lee Ju-hyung, who were the first to come to the podium, naturally had to wait the longest.
Kiwoom has displayed extraordinary performance to strengthen its slugging capability this season. The team comprised two batters and foreign players, who were excluded from the team's roster, but recruited a number of players with slugging capability. In fact, the team garnered 12 homers at the exhibition game, and ranked No. 1 in homers.
Song Seong-moon, Kiwoom's key player and captain, also said he would win the title beyond the postseason. "If I win, I will go camping with fans at Gocheok Sky Dome," he said in a segment asking the national team players about their goals and pledges. "If they advance to the fall baseball league, they will play the PS game with Yasiel Puig's trademark sushi hairstyle."
Still, Kiwoom is considered one of its weaknesses. However, Chung Hyeon-woo, the No. 1 rookie in the team, is expected to make a splash at an exhibition game, and analysts say that the team's lineup, which has two foreign hitters, is not light on its weight. After all, it seems that the key to Kiwoom will be its bullpen pitcher's strength rather than starting and attacking power.
Song's pledge is rather playful. But if it becomes a reality, it will catch the eye of baseball fans.
