Samsung’s Conor Seabold showed sensitive appearances several times against Doosan in Pohang on the 21st.
Maybe he didn’t like the Pohang mound, he kicked the dirt several times. Such anxiety led to a walk. Connor had three hits, one homer, five walks, five strikeouts, and four runs in five innings. Five walks is the highest number Connor has recorded in a single game this season. Connor, who had his first 10th win in the KBO League, was in the yoke of defeat on the day.
Some of them were unlucky. With the bases loaded with two outs in the fifth inning, second baseman Ahn Ju-hyung tried to catch Lee Yoo-chan’s hit but failed to catch it as he fell backward. In the meantime, two runners homered and allowed the team to come from behind.
Perhaps that’s why Connor acted unexpectedly after catching the last out count in the fifth inning. He caught Yang Eui-ji’s own ball and threw the ball away after finishing the inning.
The next day, Samsung manager Park Jin-man said, “Connor had such situations early this season in Daegu as well. He seems to be the most sensitive among our starting pitchers. Won Tae-in said he was okay with the mound, but Connor said he was not good at it, which he can’t help. I don’t know if all the players have said that, but Connor seems to be the most sensitive.” He said, “He has no choice but to overcome it depending on the situation.”
He cautioned against expressing emotions during the game. “The entire mood of the team can be influenced by the team. Since I pointed it out after the game, I don’t think I will be able to see that in the next game,” Park said.
I fully understand how he feels. “He also expressed that way because things weren’t going as he wanted,” Park said.
However, it is problematic that all the players expressed their opinions in a situation where they are watching. “I think we should devise a way to hide it from the players, rather than doing it in the presence of them. I hope that the overall trend will not change due to such atmosphere,” Park said.
In fact, the atmosphere in the bench was a bit gloomy after the fifth inning. “All the players, staff and I were cheering for them, but they gave me a warning because I felt down just by doing so,” Park said.
Corner is a player who is completely meek outside of the mound. “He is really gentle except during games. He is also very reticent,” coach Park said. “I think that (what he shows at games) is related to his desire to win. He has a short temperament.” 토토사이트
Professional baseball players need to be competitive. “If you look at it carefully, it is competitive, but if you look at it badly, it can cause a crisis in the team event,” Park said.
Now, I believe Connor himself must have been well aware of it. “Since I have talked about it since yesterday’s game (June 21) and sent a message to him, I don’t think he will be able to show such performance from the next game,” Park said.
