Raise's Yoshitomo Tsutsugo didn't have a turn, but Choi Ji-Man from the same Asia was appointed as No. 4, and he was the first Korean fielder to take a turn at bat in the World Series.
They are the same sluggers on the left as Tsutsugo, and they have similar solid bodies and faces and can be compared with something.
We paid attention to Choi, who is increasing his presence in the team that is making a leap forward.

Even after entering the playoffs, he participated in 14 games with a batting average of 20%, 9 minutes, 4 home runs, and two home runs. In the district series, he hit a home run from a call pitcher again, and was one of the key players in the raise breakthrough. Being a person.
During the minor league era, he had the experience of challenging switch hitters, and on July 26, immediately after the start of this season, he retired from two at-bats and then played against the left-handed pitcher in the third at-bat. I entered and showed a feat of hitting a home run.
It is also popular for humorous characters, and the team's SNS has become a mood maker, with the appearance of Choi dancing with a smile on the ground and benches.
In the first round of the World Series, he was appointed as a pinch hitter and was sent a pinch hitter, but on record, this was his first appearance in the World Series.
He was the first Korean fielder to take the World Series at bat in the second game on the 21st, which was his first appearance in the starting lineup at No. 4, and returned to the home twice with one hit in three at bats, contributing to the team's victory. Did.
