43-year-old Choi Hyung-woo's 'heaviest' No. 2 batting success fuels team's 5-game win streak

In a surprising and successful strategic move, the 43-year-old veteran Choi Hyung-woo was placed in the No. 2 batting position for his team, a role typically reserved for younger, faster players. This unconventional lineup change paid off immediately, contributing significantly to the team's fifth consecutive victory.

Choi, known for his enduring performance in the KBO League, embraced the new role with enthusiasm. He remarked, "I wonder if I'm the heaviest No. 2 hitter in KBO League history? (laughs) The batting order comes around so often, it's busy, but it's fun." His ability to adapt and perform under pressure, even at his age, has been a key factor in the team's recent success.

The veteran's impact was particularly evident in his performance against top league ace An Woo-jin. Choi successfully neutralized An's high-velocity pitches, a feat that speaks volumes about his skill and experience. This ability to disrupt the opposing team's ace pitcher, combined with the team's overall strong performance, has fueled their current five-game winning streak, demonstrating that experience and strategic placement can still be decisive factors in professional baseball.
