On the last 2 days, it was difficult to break a 9-game losing streak, but it is entering the path of losing again.
Kim Min-soo said that he was sorry for not being able to support him by his side. Kim Min-soo, who recently met with MK Sports, said, “I was very annoyed with myself when I didn’t make it to the opening entry for the first time. He said he was taking care of his body, but I was annoyed that I couldn’t. The team is having a hard time, so it doesn’t seem like they’re comfortable even when they’re smiling.”

Kim Min-soo said, “Because I played more than half of the 144 games, some people said, ‘Isn’t it sick because I played too much last year?’, but it is happiness and luck for a player to play. When he goes to the game, he just feels good. Doesn’t he always need me on the team? All players will think so.”
“If you ask me, ‘If I could go out like that again,’ I would. However, in order to compete in many games, I have to build a good body. It depends on my efforts and my will. The pain now seems to have come out as pain due to the accumulation of fatigue from the past. Being an athlete is a job where you use your body, but it hurts because I neglected my management. I need to take better care of it,” he added.

When he goes back to the first team, his role is to relieve the pressure of the bullpen pitchers who are having a hard time. It is a determination to share difficulties together and overcome difficulties.
He said, “I keep thinking that I have to go through hard times together. I can see that the pitchers are struggling too much, and the situation of the fielders who support them is not good either. It’s more difficult not being able to be together than it is difficult for me, and I’m sorry.”
Finally, Kim Min-soo said, “I went to the bottom last season, but I went to fall baseball anyway. He doesn’t think it’s something to be taken seriously yet. Even if my performance is not good, my goal is to contribute when the team wins.”
