Legend of 210 wins worried about his son who can't play baseball, "Baseball is not everything."
Song Jin-woo visited the "2023 Future Youth Leader National Education University T-Ball Competition" held at Sports Park Baseball Stadium in Boeun-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do on the 24th and gave one-point lessons for pitching to shift students. 토토
Song Jin-woo, a legendary pitcher who recorded 210 wins, 153 losses, 17 holds, 103 saves, and a 3.51 ERA in 672 KBO League games (3003 innings), generously passed on his know-how to shift students who were interested in pitchers. After finishing the pitching clinic, "When I saw the players' desire to learn or want to throw well, I felt that they were interested in baseball. "I thought not only T-ball but also the entire baseball infrastructure could be expanded," he said.
Song Jin-woo, who served as a pitching coach for the Hanwha Eagles until 2020 and coached the independent league scorebone hyenas in 2021, is now taking a break from his role as a leader. Song Jin-woo, a member of the committee who laughed, saying, "I took parental leave," continued to work in baseball for 50 years. Leaving the scene made me feel relaxed. "I don't think it's a bad idea to take a break for a while," he said.
One of the concerns of Song Jin-woo, who left the scene, is the future of his son Song Woo-hyun. Song Woo-hyun joined Kiwoom in the sixth round (58th) of the second round of the 2015 rookie draft, but he has not been in the spotlight for a long time. Then, in 2021, he became the main outfielder with a batting average of .296 (74 hits in 250 at-bats), 3 home runs, 42 RBIs, and OPS.786. At last, the potential seemed to be in full bloom.
However, on August 9, 2021, the news of drunk driving caused a big stir, and Kiwoom decided to release Song Woo-hyun on August 11. On December 2, he was fined for drunk driving.
Song Woo-hyun, who has not returned to the professional baseball stage since the drunk driving scandal, is waiting for his last chance while playing in the independent league. Song Jin-woo, a member of the committee, said, "My heart aches as a father. It's definitely wrong, but the waiting time is getting too long. "If you can't do it after working hard, you have to find another way," he said, expressing his regret.
Song Jin-woo, a member of the committee, said, "I've played baseball since I was young, so I think baseball is everything," adding, "I can't continue to cling to professional baseball and the players who wait are in pain." If you look for another job, there will be a new taste in life," he encouraged his son. At the same time, he said, "It's a shame that I can't continue what I've been doing so far. "It's not that I can't do it because I'm not good, but it's even more regrettable that I can't play baseball due to careless mistakes," he said.
