Eric Peddy said, “I am very happy to be a member of the NC Dinos. I want to meet my colleagues as soon as possible and experience the culture unique to KBO,” referring to his friendship with Eric Thames, who was active in NC in the past. “Fortunately, I played on the same team as Eric Thames in 2020, and he spoke highly of the KBO League and heard a lot of things,” he explained.
The following is a Q&A with Peddy from the club.
– How do you feel about joining?
▲ I am very happy to have the opportunity to join the team as a member of the NC Dinos. I want to quickly meet the manager, coaches, and fellow players, and quickly experience the unique culture of the KBO.
– Do you know about Korea and Korean professional baseball? What do you think?
▲ I don’t have much knowledge about Korea and the KBO outside of the internet and what I’ve heard from players who have stepped on the KBO stage before. I was lucky enough to play on the same team as Eric Thames in 2020, and he spoke highly of the KBO League and heard a lot of things. Changwon NC Park, which I saw in the photo, also looked really cool. I have high expectations for Korea.
– How do you plan to prepare before joining NC Spring Camp?
▲ Fortunately, I am currently training with the best trainers, pitching coaches, and physical therapy experts while living in Arizona, where the field training is held. For the team’s field training in Tucson, he has been working out steadily since early November. I plan to join the field training with my body and pitching form in the best condition.
– Goal and resolution
▲ Every time I go on the mound, I want to compete with my teammates and at the same time become a good team member. I will play in many games as a starter and help the team win while digesting quality innings. Given the opportunity to play in the KBO League, I want to learn a lot about Korean culture and community.
