“LG’s outfield is too strong…” but the look in his eyes…’100 meters in 11 seconds, a man of great running’

On the 18th, LG officially announced that they had made a one-for-one trade between pitcher Chae Ji-sun and NC outfielder Choi Seung-min.

On the 20th, Choi Seung-min visited Jamsil Baseball Stadium for a profile shoot and to join the team. When he arrived for his profile photo shoot after changing his uniform, he was both excited and nervous.

After graduating from Shinil High School, Choi joined the NC in 2015 and went through the ranks, playing 116 games in the first team since the 2019 season, batting .297 with 74 hits, 22 doubles, five triples, 32 runs scored, and 16 stolen bases.

In the 2023 season, he was invited to the first team spring training to showcase his potential, and in 24 games in the Futures League, he is hitting .239 with 16 home runs and seven doubles in 67 at-bats.

When asked about his future aspirations, Choi hedged his bets, saying, “LG’s outfield is too strong…” but his eyes were bright. Choi also talked about the advantages of living in Seoul through high school, which made him feel more comfortable playing baseball.

Choi has quick feet. LG coach Yeom Kyung-yeop said, “There is no one in the team with faster feet than Shin Min-jae. We need a pinch-hitter. We need a pinch-hitter, and if possible, we should trade for one.” Choi Seung-min’s trade was decided.메이저놀이터

With his quick feet as a weapon and his operational skills, Choi Seung-min could earn a spot in the first team. In the postseason, he could be the “secret weapon” that coach Yeom Kyung-yup talked about.

After the profile shoot, LG’s Choi Seung-min nervously went to the manager’s office for his first meeting with LG coach Yeom Kyung-yup.

As the first player to be traded for an LG jersey, we’re looking forward to seeing what he can do in the future.
