Deoksu High School senior outfielder Baek Jun-seo (19) had an unforgettable day.
Deoksu High School won 5-4 after a close match against Gangneung High School held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 11th in the final of the 2023 Shinsegae E-Mart Cup National High School Baseball Championship.
Deoksu High School, a traditional high school baseball player, reached the top of the national competition in two years after the 2021 Bonghwangdaegi. Deoksu High School received 30 million won in prize money and various baseball equipment.
Baek Jun-seo, who played an active role in this tournament with 11 hits and 8 RBIs, became the MVP. After winning the championship, Baek Jun-seo said, “I was able to win and MVP because my teammates, coaches, and coaches all helped, not because I did well alone.” It seems like this day,” he said.
Deoksoo High School coach Jeong Yun-jin said, “(Baek Jun-seo) injured her wrist while sliding in the quarterfinals, so it wasn’t easy to hit properly, but with the captain’s responsibility, she got an injection and participated in the game. Leadership is really good. He will grow well when he goes pro in the future.”
Baek Joon-seo also brought up a relationship with Bae Ji-hwan (24, Pittsburgh Pirates), who is playing in the US Major League. When asked, ‘Who is your role model? Talking about it, he had a different attitude towards baseball. He became a role model that day. He insisted on not paying attention. Thank you for instilling confidence in me.”
Baek Jun-seo, who has to challenge to advance to the pros as a third-year student this year, showed confidence, saying, “I have a good ability to hit, and I can hit hard balls in any direction.” He continued, “Now my biggest dream is to join a professional club. Anywhere you call is good.” 메이저놀이터
After graduating from Gyeongbuk High School, Bae Ji-hwan moved to the United States and debuted in the big leagues. He has become a role model for others as he is solidifying his position with his first home run, first two hits, and first three hits in the big leagues this year.
A junior with a similar physique is playing baseball while thinking of Bae Ji-hwan. Bae Ji-hwan is 184cm tall. Deoksu High School outfielder Baek Jun-seo, who won the best player and batting award, is 183 cm tall.
Like a role model, Baek Jun-seo dreams of becoming a professional player and showing off her skills to the fullest.
