“Sangcheol, I’ll keep giving you a chance, so get ready.” A 32-year-old big gun who hit 123 home runs in the second division, now the head coach trusts and uses it
“Be prepared because you will continue to use it.”
KT Wiz outfielder Moon Sang-cheol (32) is a player with terrifying long hitting power who has hit 123 homers in the Futures League alone 메이저사이트. In particular, when he was in the Armed Forces Athletic Corps (Sangmu) in 2017 and 2018, he surprised everyone by hitting hard with 58 home runs and 179 RBIs.
Moon Sang-cheol had nothing to show in the second team with a batting average of 0.300, 544 hits, 123 homers, 426 RBIs and 354 points in 495 games.
However, once he came up to the first team, he had no chance. His rivals were Park Byeong-ho and Kang Baek-ho. He couldn’t show all his skills. He shone with 40 hits, 8 homers and 25 RBIs in the 2020 season, but fell again in the 2021 season, and last season he only had a batting average of 0.224 in 28 games. It was his fewest match appearances since his debut.
Moon Sang-cheol was not even on the roster for the Arizona spring camp in the United States, nor was he included in the opening roster this season. Up until this point, there must have been many fans thinking, ‘When will Moon Sang-cheol come up to the first team?

Even at the moment when Park Byeong-ho temporarily left due to injury, Kang Baek-ho was unable to show off his skills following last season, and Moon Sang-cheol’s performance with one shot is a great boost to KT’s performance.
Moon Sang-cheol is showing his best record since his debut with a batting average of 0.272, 64 hits, 7 homers, 37 RBIs and 24 points in 79 games this season. With the current trend, it seems that he will be able to easily achieve his first 100 games, 100 hits, and his first 10 home runs in his debut.
In the match against Hanwha Eagles in Suwon on the 9th, Park Byeong-ho replaced Byeong-ho as a pinch hitter, and in the 5th inning with no bases loaded, 2 RBIs and 2 bases, the final hit and a blow to open the big inning gave strength to the team.
The person who welcomes Moon Sang-cheol’s performance the most must be KT coach Lee Kang-cheol. In a situation where he was unable to give a chance because the main players were firmly established, he highly praised the disciple’s earnestness in not missing a single opportunity.
Director Lee Kang-cheol also said of Moon Sang-cheol, “I didn’t want to leave it out this year. He always gave (Bae) Jeong-dae, (Kim) Min-hyuk and other players his age a chance, but he co”Sangcheol, I’ll keep giving you a chance, so get ready.” A 32-year-old big gun who hit 123 home runs in the second division, now the head coach trusts and uses ituldn’t give it to Sang-cheol. He was very sorry. So he tried to give it a chance this year,” he said. I was able to continue using Byeong-ho and Baek-ho because they did well when they were having a hard time.”
Moon Sang-cheol, who went from being a long-time geopo prospect, now proudly takes his place as a member of the first team.
