The best trade issue in the offseason was by far Cho Sang-woo's transfer to the KIA Tigers.

A promising fastball player who was selected as the first player in the first round of the 2013 rookie draft. Despite ups and downs including back-and-forth positions and personal rumors, he was considered one of the best in the league when it comes to a fastball thrown from a heavy body.메이저놀이터

After completing this season, Cho will be able to become the first free agent in his baseball career, and will face a turning point in his career. Trade. He will be embraced by Kia, the defending champion.

The reason why Kia recruited Cho Sang-woo is clear. It is its second consecutive win. Kia lost Jang Hyun-sik, who led the team to the LG Twins in the FA market last year, but immediately filled the spot with Cho. It will be used as a must-winner for the team ahead of the existing closing pitcher Jung Hae-young. Expectations are high on Cho's synergy with Kia as he is also full of ambition ahead of his first transfer and the FA.

Coincidentally, KIA and Kiwoom will meet right away in the first three consecutive games during the first week after the opening two consecutive games. The battlefield is Gwangju Kia Champions Field. Chances are high that Cho Sang-woo will throw the ball directly to his hometown team.

How would the Kiwoom team feel if they were to face Jo Sang-woo as an enemy? Coach Hong Won-ki said with a smile, "After 17 years with the Heroes, I don't think I'll feel much because there are so many players who have left."

"I was growing well in the league. I really want any team to grow healthy," Hong said seriously.

From Hong's point of view, the best scenario is not to meet Cho Sang-woo. As mentioned above, Cho Sang-woo is a must-win team of KIA. He is a pitcher who will play if he wins or is equal. If Kiwoom is ahead of the game in the second half, there is a higher chance that he will not meet Cho Sang-woo.

Kiwoom hitters know Cho Sang-woo better than anyone else, and Cho Sang-woo knows Kiwoom hitters better than anyone else. Who would be advantageous if they face off each other? It is an interesting point to watch.
