Kiwoom Heroes Catcher Just Wants to Win

Kiwoom Heroes catcher Park Dong-won doesn’t ask about more playing time. All he wants is to help his team win. It is rare for a baseball player who doesn’t think about his stats. He is happy if the Heroes keep on winning.

The Heroes are currently in first place with a 6-1 standing. Last Tuesday, they won their fourth game in a row in the young season, when they won against the Samsung Lions. Park had a hand in the win with his solo homer in the second inning. In the eighth inning, he hit a double.

As a catcher, Park led starting pitcher Eric Jokisch in six innings. The pitcher gave up a single run and struck out seven batters. Before they took the lead in the sixth inning, Park’s home run was the only hit of the team against Samsung’s starting pitcher Ben Lively.

Kiwoom Heroes Catcher Happy to Contribute

According to sports betting reports, Park said that his home run was not that vital. If he didn’t have a home run, someone else would have made it. Also, he added that the team won because Jokisch threw well in six innings.

Park catches for Jokisch and Choi Won-tae. He shares the catcher position with Lee Ji-young, who catches for Jake Brigham and Lee Seung-ho. In seven games this year, Park started four games as a catcher, and Lee started three times.

According to sports wagering sources, the two are good enough to be the full-time catcher on other KBO teams. However, Heroes manager Son Hyuk wants his catchers to be fresh in time of the doubleheaders. Also, they need to play seven games a week due to the compressed season.

Based on internet gaming Korea reports, the Heroes played in the Korean Series last season. However, the Doosan Bears swept the best of seven series. An injury made Park miss the entire series. As a result, Lee was the catcher for all four games.
