Moon Dong-joo looking forward to MLB ‘Seoul Series’ “I want to deal with Otani in person.”

Moon Dong-ju is returning to Korea through Incheon International Airport after completing the Hanwha Eagles' second spring camp in Okinawa, Japan on the 4th. 

'Young Gun' Dong-ju Moon (21, Hanwha Eagles), who represents Korean baseball, expressed his expectations for the Major League World Tour 'Seoul Series', which is coming in two weeks.

After completing the team's spring camp schedule, Moon Dong-ju returned to Korea through Incheon International Airport with the Hanwha team on the afternoon of the 4th.

Moon Dong-ju, who won the rookie of the year award with 8 wins, 8 losses and an ERA of 3.72 last year, in his second year of debut, is raising even more expectations this year. This is because, unlike last year when there was an 'innings limit', the starting rotation will be played full-time this year. 메이저사이트

Hanwha coach Choi Won-ho expressed his expectations, saying, “Unless Moon Dong-ju gets hurt, there will be no skipping the rotation.”

Moon Dong-ju also has extraordinary determination. He said, “For now, we are aiming for regulation innings, but I think we need to aim higher than that.”

This year, the change-up is equipped as a new weapon. He used a change-up last year as well, but plans to change his grip and use it more sharply.

Dong-ju Moon said, “There are a lot of wild pitches in practice games, but I’m not worried about them. I think I have to throw a lot to be able to throw confidently in games.”

It is very likely that Moon Dong-ju will be given the opportunity to face major leaguers before the start of the regular season.

Major League Baseball's San Diego Padres and San Francisco will play their opening two-game series at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 20th and 21st. Prior to this, a special match is scheduled with Kiwoom Heroes, LG Twins, and 'Team Korea' led by coach Ryu Joong-il on the 17th and 18th.

Moon Dong-ju, who was selected as a member of the national team for last year's Asian Games and Asian Professional Baseball Championship (APBC), is highly likely to be selected for this year's national team as well. For Moon Dong-ju, personally, it is a good opportunity to play against players of different levels.

Moon Dong-ju is likely to wear the national team uniform once again this March. 

Moon Dong-ju also expressed his expectations. He said, “I don’t know whether I will be selected for the national team or which game I will play, but I am preparing with the thought that I can play.”

He added, “I want to enjoy it because it is a good opportunity that I don’t know when it will happen again.” He added, “I especially want to get to know a player like me.”

The Dodgers and San Diego have many star players representing the major leagues. The Dodgers have a trio of MVPs including Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Mookie Betts, and San Diego also boasts a brilliant lineup including Fernando Tatis Jr., Xander Bogaerts, and Ha-seong Kim.

Dong-ju Moon said, “I’ve been watching a lot of Major League exhibition games these days, and I want to play against Ohtani as well.” He added, “In fact, both teams are among the strongest teams in the Major League, so I’m looking forward to playing against anyone. “I will do my best to throw to all batters,” he said. 토토사이트
