After meeting the youngsters from his hometown, Choi said, “It was nice to say hello to the youngsters from my alma mater. It’s not a lot of money, but I hope it helps them a little bit. I’ve always been supported by my seniors, so I’m happy to give back through this opportunity. They are still young players, so I hope they eat a lot of good food and become great players. I hope we can be together on the baseball field.”토토사이트
“I’m proud that Ji Hoon, who I met as a child, has become a great player and is helping the juniors. Even when he was younger, he was always a combative baseball player like he is now, and he is a good example for our players. I hope he can play baseball for a long time without any injuries.” He left a message of support for Choi Ji-hoon.
Suchangcho captain Shim Hyung-jin said, “I’m happy to see Ji-hoon Choi from our school. I want to become a player who can hit accurately and send balls far like you,” he said, adding his ambition to become a professional player like Choi.
