Where on earth did such a player come from? An unknown infielder who has yet to have a hit since his debut in the first division in 2020 is leading the batting average of 500 at exhibition games. It is a great opportunity for Oh Myung-jin (24) of the Doosan Bears to end his life as an unknown player.
Doosan infielder Oh Myung-jin played as a substitute in the professional baseball exhibition game against the Samsung Lions at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 11th and hit one hit, three RBIs, and one walk in two at-bats to properly impress manager Lee Seung-yeop.
Oh Myung-jin, who started the game on the bench, stepped on the ground with Park Joon-young's pinch-hitter in the top of the fourth inning with two outs and a bases loaded chance, trailing 2-4. In the absence of a runner with two outs, Ryu Hyun-joon had a heavy hit, Jung Soo-bin had a right-handed hit, and Kim Min-seok had a straight walk to prepare the bases.
Oh met with Yang Chang-seop of the Samsung Lions and dominated the 2B-0S count. He then hit Yang's 147-km fastball driven to the middle of the third pitch, and hit a three-run come-from-behind triple that separates the right and center. It was his third hit in three consecutive exhibition games and second consecutive long hit.
Oh grabbed his breath with a ground ball at the top of the sixth inning, and then appeared as a leadoff hitter at the top of the eighth inning when he was being dragged 8-11, displaying his strong potential. He was at a disadvantageous count against Lee Seung-hyun for 1B-2S, but after watching one ball, he cut off both fastballs and sliders in succession, and calmly picked out two balls again to garner a walk. It was on base thanks to Oh's strong commitment.
After successfully hitting multiple bases with a triple and a hit, Oh maintained his batting average of .500 (six hits in 12 times at bat) at exhibition games. He tied for first in batting average at exhibition games along with Hwang Seong-bin of the Lotte Giants.
Then, who is Oh Myung-jin? Born in Daejeon, he graduated from a high school in Daejeon, he is a right-handed, left-handed infielder who was ranked 59th in the sixth round of Doosan's rookie draft in 2020. He played in five games in the first year of his debut, but had no hits and one strikeout in four times at bat, and he participated in two games in the first team in 2021 before fulfilling his compulsory military service duty. Even after he was discharged from the military, Oh only played in two games in the first team last year. Oh's overall performance in the first team was no hit in eight times at bat in nine games, and he has yet to experience his first hit.
Oh has been biting his teeth since last year's wrap-up camp, and made all-out efforts to impress the nation's batters. As a result, he was invited to audition for second baseman at this year's Sydney spring camp in Australia and Miyazaki spring camp in Japan, and was rated as the most advanced in hitting and training among the competitors. Manager Lee Seung-yeop worked so hard that he referred to Oh as "a baseball maniac."
Having played four exhibition games, Oh Myung-jin is by far the hottest player in the KBO league 토토사이트. He has played 14 at-bats in four games, posting a batting average of .500 (six hits in 12 at-bats), four RBIs, four runs scored, two walks and a .750 on-base percentage of .571 OPS of 1.321. In his first game against the Hanwha Eagles in Cheongju on Saturday, he warmed up with no hit in two at-bats, made two hits in four at-bats against the Hanwha Eagles in Seoul on Sunday, made three hits and one RBI in four at-bats against the Hanwha Eagles on Sunday, and made one hit and three RBIs in two at-bats against the Samsung Lions on Sunday.
In his sixth year as a pro, Oh aims to take the lead. I want to end his difficult life as an unknown player and make his name known before taking over the Doosan second baseman position. "I really aim to become a main player this year. To do that, I have to enter the opening entry no matter what, and I am preparing hard to achieve that," Oh said. "If I keep going like this, I think I will have more opportunities, but I want to take my place."
