Seo Ho-cheol, who graduated from Dongui University and wore an NC uniform in the second round of the 2019 rookie draft, made his name as the Future League batting champion in the Armed Forces Sports Unit (Sangmu) in 2021. And he unleashed this potential in the first team this season. He recorded a batting average of 287 runs (114 hits in 397 at-bats) in 114 games with five homers, 41 RBIs, 50 runs scored, and OPS.714. Although he was considered an infield utility agent, he was reborn as NC's main third baseman starting this year.
In particular, Seo Ho-cheol was reborn as a star in the postseason. He led the team to a semi-playoff by scoring three hits and six RBIs in the first game of the wild card game against Doosan, which was the first gateway to autumn baseball. He also had a batting average of .400 (4 hits in 10 at-bats) and three RBIs in the semi-playoff against SSG. However, in the playoff against KT, he only had a batting average of 56 (one hit in 18 at-bats) and an RBI and one run as his physical strength declined due to repeated blood fights. The team failed to advance to the Korean Series as it lost three consecutive games despite winning two series.
Throughout this season, Seo showed his fighting spirit. He had two "headshot" accidents where he was hit by a helmet. On April 15, he was hit by a helmet by Seo Jin-yong's ball in a match against SSG. In the game against Doosan on September 24, he was hit in the face by Kim Kang-ryul's ball. In the first head shot, he returned after 10 days of rest, but this time he was accompanied by a broken nose. However, there was no major pain and he played immediately. In August, he left due to a ligament injury in his finger, and it was difficult to maintain his normal condition due to hamstring pain during the season.
However, at the end of the regular season, Seo Ho-cheol suffered another unexpected injury at a time when the ranking fight was in full swing. I hurt my ankle ligament because I took the wrong step on the dugout stairs. It was a given to advance to the postseason, but the ranking was the key. Seo Ho-cheol watched the game from behind the dugout, focusing only on rehabilitation in a situation where he had to add strength at the last minute.
I'm sorry. He said, "I hurt my ankle by mistake. For 10 days, I tried to recover unconditionally and make the postseason entry. "I couldn't leave even after receiving treatment when I played at home," he said. "My teammates were doing their best, but I was resting. I think I only thought about recovering and recharging and putting all my energy into the postseason and rehabilitating," he said.
However, he was not in a physical condition to return to rehabilitation. In fact, Seo Ho-cheol was playing with a broken ankle ligament during the postseason. After the postseason was all over, I learned that my ligament was broken after an MRI examination. Nevertheless, Seo Ho-cheol hit a grand slam and spared no effort in defense.
Seo Ho-cheol said, "I didn't know when I would be able to experience such fall baseball again, so I wanted to play unconditionally. "I was more desperate to play than sick," he said. "If you were really sick, it was right not to play for the team." However, the trainers treated me well and I did a good reinforcement exercise. And I had a strong will to run. I decided that I could run, so I ran," he said. It was a fighting spirit that overcame the pain with desperation.
The grand slam in the wild-card game was one of the best scenes in Seo Ho-cheol's baseball career. It was a grand slam of atonement to make up for the sorry that he was out of the battle line at the end of the season due to an ankle injury. "I felt sorry for the team and my colleagues and put all my energy into it. I only thought I had to win, but as soon as I got goosebumps, it became a home run. "I also choked up," he said, smiling, "I thought there would be unforgettable moments in baseball in the future."
However, as a result, it failed to make it to the best stage of the Korean Series. After two consecutive playoff wins against KT, he completed the humiliation of the reverse sweep, which suffered three consecutive losses. No one laughed at NC's fighting spirit. There was applause. Nevertheless, I can't help but feel sorry and resentful. Even when the entire team was choked up and in tears, Seo Ho-cheol vowed not to repeat the same pain next year.
"Everyone was exhausted," he said. The coach and the coach also said it looked so hard. "The players were also very disappointed as the hitters were caught, and I felt that my physical strength had been reduced," he said. "I thought it wasn't hard because I played tight games every day, but I was tired in the end. I really felt that it was important to manage my physical strength and it was nothing I did. It was a really good experience and I think it will be another turning point for me," he said emphatically.
Right now, Seo Ho-cheol is committed to ankle rehabilitation. I am confident that there is no problem participating in next year's spring camp. But he reflected on his self-care. Seo Ho-cheol, who is also famous for his thorough routine in the NC club, emphasized that he would focus more on physical strength and injury management.
"I can't give you a good score this year. I'm grateful I got so many opportunities, but the thing I got hurt a lot is that I took care of it wrong. "I'm disappointed in myself," he said. "I think the injury comes from physical fitness problems again. "I want to take good care of myself so that I don't get injured while maintaining a confident and gritful play," he said.
He was not satisfied with the modifier NC's hit product this year, and vowed once again that he would not be intoxicated with the satisfaction of having an unforgettable season. Seo Ho-cheol said, "I don't think I'm the main player. I don't think I'll be guaranteed another opportunity. I will prepare to do better and win at the ballpark. "I will try to be a better player next year than this year and the year after next year than next year," he vowed again.
