The uniform of "KBO's stealer king" Cho Soo-haeng (32), who broke the Doosan Bears record by stealing 64 bases last year, is never sacred. Even if he is cleaned every time, his uniform gets dirty once he goes out.토토사이트

However, if Cho's uniform is tainted, it is a good sign for Doosan. Before the game on the 15th, Doosan had somehow won the game where Cho got on base. That was the case against Jamsil Kiwoom on the 3rd, when Cho got on base due to an opponent's error without a hit, and that was the case against Busan Lotte on the 4th, when he got on base as a pinch runner and scored two runs along with a walk. On the 6th, when he came out as a pinch runner and even stole a base, Doosan escaped from the grueling record of 17 consecutive losses on Sunday against Lotte in Busan.

The game against Hanwha in Jamsil on Wednesday, which led Doosan to another victory, was the highlight. Cho Dong-wook's second pitch in the top of the fifth inning turned toward the first baseman. He could have given up, but Cho was different. He sprinted all the way to the first base to create a close game and was declared safe in the end. When the two teams were tying 5-5, he made a bunt hit in the bottom of the 11th inning. Since then, Jung Soo-bin's hit and Kim Ki-yeon's finishing hit have turned out to be a one-run upset. In defense, Cho was also busy flying around the outfield.

The unexpected injury he suffered right before the opening made him even more desperate. Cho, who we recently met at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, said, "I couldn't join the team due to an injury during the opening game. So I watched our team's game only on TV, and I was struggling quite a bit. The more I watched it, the more I thought I should go to the first team even if my body is not perfect. So I only focused on getting better as much as possible," he recalled about a month ago.

"Even after returning, I tried to contribute to the team as much as I could when I played in the game. I felt that I needed to play harder, and I should do that for the fans as well. I think that earnestness came out in the actual play," he said.

After graduating from Noam Elementary School, Gyeongpo Middle School, Gangneung High School, and Konkuk University, Cho was nominated by Doosan as the fifth in the first round of the second round of the 2016 KBO Rookie Draft. Due to poor batting and defense, he failed to become a starting player for a long time. In his ninth year as a professional, Cho played in 130 games, the most in his career, and won the title of stealer with 64 steals.

"Honestly, I didn't achieve last year's steal king because I wanted to, but I was lucky," Cho said. My goal, in the past and now, was to finish the season unhurt. Last year, I also got hurt at the end of the postseason, which did not help my team. This year, I got hurt from the beginning, so I feel strongly that I should not get sick from now on when I return home."

Choo Jae-hyun returned to the starting lineup on the 13th after a long absence from injury, and he also hit multi-hits in the match against LG in Jamsil, helping Doosan escape its fourth consecutive loss. He is still the fourth outfielder in the year after winning the stolen base title, but Cho looked at only one.

"In fact, the main players cannot always play 100 percent of the time because baseball plays a large number of games," Cho said. "Of course, the players who play in the background always have to prepare for situations that may arise, and it is the same now that (Chu) Jae-hyun is absent. We need to make sure that we don't feel that empty spot."

"As I came late, I feel more strongly that I should contribute to the team. I will really play hard until the end of the season without getting hurt anymore," he said.
