“(Oh) Jaeil, I don’t miss you (laughs).”
Pro baseball Kiwoom infielder Lee Won-seok (37) left a witty comment to his best friend, Samsung infielder Oh Jae-il (37).메이저사이트
The two worked together at Doosan from 2012 to 2016 and at Samsung from 2021 to this year. On the 27th of last month, Lee Won-seok was traded to Kiwoom, and the nest changed.
Time passed and the last 24 days. Oh Jae-il brought up Lee Won-seok’s name during a training interview after hitting a timely hit with two RBIs against Doosan. “I get calls from (Lee) Won-seok almost every day. He always bets himself first. He was very lonely,” he said.
On the 25th, ahead of the KT game, I asked Lee Won-seok about his feelings. Lee Won-seok said, “I am not lonely because I want to see Jaeil. “I’m not calling you because I miss you,” he said with a laugh, saying, “I often talk to (Kang) Hanul and (Kang) Minho on the phone at Samsung.”
Most of my conversations with Jaeil Oh are like this. Lee Won-seok first asked, “How was your day?” Oh Jae-il replies, “Did you do well?” When Oh Jae-il again asks, “You?”
Lee Won-seok said, “His wife and child are in Daegu. There is something lonely about being away from my family,” he said. “I have completely adjusted to Kiwoom. Everyone from the coaching staff, the players, and the club officials do a good job. In particular, I am truly grateful to (Lee) Jung-hoo for always coming to me first and taking good care of me.”
