Perhaps Park Min-woo (30‧NC) was a player who could have had such thoughts. After making his debut in the first team in 2013, he recorded a batting average of 0.320 in 1038 first team career games. Among all second basemen in the KBO League who played more than 10 seasons and 1000 games, no hitter has a higher batting average than Park Min-woo. From 2015, it recorded more than 30% for 6 consecutive years, and the batting average recorded in 593 games for 5 years from 2016 to 2020 reached a whopping 0.343. He thought he was just hitting 30%. The fans did, and maybe the players did too.

Park Min-woo said, “There was a part where I was too complacent. That’s why I was overconfident. I had some cheeky thoughts like ‘I’m a little unprepared, and I can hit 30% even if I’m not right’.” I did a lot of reflection.

He moves his body diligently in the great proposition of finding his own strengths. It is all the more so because he signed a large contract of up to 8 years and a total of 14 billion won before this season. In order not to be ashamed of himself, to pay back sorry to the fans, and to fulfill the responsibility of 14 billion won, he has to become more than a 30% hitter again.

I feel like I came back when I was a rookie.” situation,” he said. And he did not hide the pressure to show it in numbers and results. He promises himself that he must overcome.
