# 4.6 Billion FA Catcher Loses Behind AG Gold Medal

He hopes to boost his sense of play and regain his confidence by sending him to the eight-point gap. If you advance to the Korean Series, you can become a more necessary player. Will NC Dinos catcher Park Se-hyuk (34) be able to find confidence and show resilience at another opportunity. NC lost 2-11 to KT Wiz in Game 4 of the postseason playoff of the '2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League' at NC Park in Changwon on the 3rd. As a result, NC won two playoff series and lost two games. With only one win left to advance to the Korean Series, the situation is now equal. NC will now move back to Suwon to play the fateful Game 5.

On this day, NC was helpless. He gave up the chance to win early on. KT starter Cuevas overwhelmed NC batters by pitching no-heater until 2 outs in the 6th inning, including 17 consecutive batters. He had one hit, three strikeouts and no runs in six innings, and only 73 pitches. And the mound collapsed. Starter Song Myung-ki allowed four runs in the first ⅓, and Lee Jae-hak also lost four runs in the second ⅓.

He lost two consecutive games while running for six consecutive postseason wins this year. As time goes by for about a month, I can't help but get tired. There were parts of the performance where the physical strength was reduced. Maybe it was natural. Ahead of the fourth game, head coach Kang In-kwon said, "We played seven postseason games, but we have been fighting for rankings since the beginning of October, so it should be seen as almost a postseason for a month. "Since then, the batting line has been on the rise, and it's time to go down."

It's a situation where we have to struggle hard. In the end, as the gap widened by eight points early in Game 4, backup players were put in, excluding the main players who had been working hard. In the fifth inning, he took out Jason Martin and put Kim Sung-wook in the center field position. Then, in the sixth inning, veteran Park Se-hyuk was added without the main catcher Kim Hyung-joon.

It is safe to say that Kim Hyung-joon is the leader of NC in this year's postseason. After returning with the Hangzhou Asian Games gold medal around his neck, he has grown significantly and is leading the pitching staff in the postseason. In the at-bat, he hit one shot from the lower lineup and threatened the opponent's mound. Kang In-kwon, the coach, gave a compliment to Kim Hyung-joon.

On the other hand, veteran Park Se-hyuk, who won as a backup catcher and also as a starting catcher, had to spend most of the postseason on the bench. In 36 postseason games, he had a batting average of 298 (31 hits in 104 at-bats) with one home run, 13 RBIs and four steals, and played a decent role in a number of opportunities. Park Se-hyuk's self-esteem is inevitably hurt even though he didn't express himself. But he cheered, encouraged and cheered his colleagues on the bench.

This is Park Se-hyuk, who transferred from Doosan to NC with a four-year and 4.6 billion won FA contract this year. He said it would be a season of revival with a good pace at the beginning of the season, but his pace dropped sharply early in the season when he was hit in the head by SSG Guillermo Heredia's backswing. The pace failed to rise again, and the recovery of his condition was delayed as the recovery of right wrist tendinitis progressed slowly from mid-August. In the meantime, he gave Kim Hyung-joon the mask of the main catcher and lost his opportunity in the postseason.

I hoped to regain my confidence. Park Se-hyuk played his first postseason game in the first round of the playoffs on the 30th of last month, the ninth inning with a 9-1 lead. However, working with Kim Si-hoon, he caused a full base crisis and even had to come up to finish Lee Yong-chan. In the end, Lee Yong-chan allowed Bae Jung-dae to load the bases with the bases loaded.

And he was put in the sixth inning, when he was far behind 0-8 in Game 4 held on the 3rd. Park Se-hyuk, who worked with Lee Yong-joon in the top of the sixth inning, was in charge of the game until the ninth inning. He worked with chasing group players, including Lee Yong-joon and Kim Si-hoon, who have not had a chance so far, and allowed three runs in four innings.

In the at-bat, he appeared with no outs and runners on first and third bases in the eighth inning and drew a timely hit to the left. He scored NC's first point on the day. It was his first at-bat of the postseason this year and he made a timely hit, providing a turning point for his confidence to recover.

After the game, head coach Kang In-kwon said of Park Se-hyuk, "I think I have found confidence in dealing with opposing pitchers at bat and playing with masks." "If there is a mission given in the last game, I want to tell you that I will do my best," he explained. Director Kang In-kwon said that there were signs of a rebound.

However, it is unlikely that Park Se-hyuk will be appointed to the fifth game of fate, which could be the last. There is still a high possibility that Kim Hyung-joon will wear the main catcher's mask. But we don't know what variables will come out. For Park Se-hyuk, he may be waiting for the last chance of autumn baseball.
