It is not that he lacked the national flag for the first time. However, his performance is not limited. Song Seong-moon, 28, of the Korean national baseball team, is uniting his team. There is a reason why Ryu Joong-il assumed the captaincy.스포츠토토

The 2024 World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Premier 12 team is considered "weak" compared to the past. This is due to the fact that quite a few players have been injured.

However, his team became one. He does not think he is weak at all. In particular, Song is highly determined as the captain. He was the first player to join the adult national team, but he has become a captain.

The national team prepared a dinner on the 11th, a day off. It was not prepared by the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) or the national team's coaches. It was led by Lim Chan-kyu. Of course, there was permission from the coaches, including Ryu Joong-il.

Song is confident in his capacity. In the 2024 season, he played 142 games, recorded a batting average of 0.340 with 19 homers, 104 RBIs and 21 steals, and shot an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.927. He had a career-high season, by far. Thanks to this, he made it to the national team.

Even after joining the national team, he is faithfully playing his role. "Apartment Ceremony," which became a hot topic in a match with Wei Qiuen in Taiwan, is also a work of Song Seong-moon.

He also delivered his message to the team at the dinner party. In fact, Song did not say anything special during the interview with reporters. Kim Do-young tipped off.

"At the dinner party, (Song) Sung-moon said something to the players. 'I've come this far. Let's make sure Korea regains its status as a baseball power again,'" Kim said. "It was cool. It was like Ohtani."

"It was great. It was my first time to have a company dinner since I joined the team in Taiwan. Moon Sung-yi's words seemed to bring the team together. You looked different," he said with a smile.

Hong Chang-ki also pointed out, "Seongmoon created such a good atmosphere as a captain. I was able to talk comfortably at the company dinner, saying, 'Let's do it well'. I think it has become more comfortable."

Song said, "I was chosen for the honor. I am very excited. I will compete with good teams and good players. This is also a valuable experience."

He also said, "I'm the captain, but I have to adapt well. I try to get along well with the players to show good performances at the ballpark. I think our team is working well together. There will be good results. I'm thinking positively."
