In fact, it was a bit risky. A professional sports player should do his best. However, he should also know how to read the flow and situations of the game. Park Min (23) of the Kia Tigers has thus become a valuable lesson payment. That is how he is qualified to play in the first team.

In the top of the sixth inning against the LG Twins in Gwangju on the 10th, Park Min was diagnosed for three weeks after colliding head-on with the left knee of the KIA Champions Field spectator while chasing the left foul ball of the leadoff hitter Shin Min-jae. It was fortunate that there was no broken bone or muscle rupture. I couldn't afford to slide while just following the ball.

After graduating from Yatap High School, Park joined the team in the sixth place in the second round of the 2020 season. She completed her military service early on in the Sangmu league. The team immediately dispatched Park to the Canberra Cavaliers in the Australian professional baseball league to help her gain more practical experience. After spending winter in Canberra, she returned to the team and was told to go back to Canberra.

He was included in the spring camp list for the first team. Sweat and tears, he enjoyed being included in the opening entry beyond the Okinawa spring camp in Japan. The mission was Park Chan-ho's backup shortstop. Park had few chances to play in most of the innings. However, when Park hurt his back in a match against the Samsung Lions in Gwangju on Wednesday last week, he started to have a chance. In the match against the Samsung Lions in Gwangju on Tuesday, he picked up the team by making two hits, one RBI, and three errors from four times at bat.

He also started the game against the LG Twins in Gwangju from Friday to Sunday. He failed to get a hit this time, but displayed fairly stable defense. Against this backdrop, coach Lee Bum-ho looked on the unexpected injury he suffered while following Shin Min-jae's hit. Manager Lee Bum-ho knew how Park felt.

Coach Lee Bum-ho said, "Injuries are my blessing. Injured players, I think, got hurt because they tried too hard. I can't blame them. Min must have been so desperate. I feel grateful to see them work hard and hard. Still, they can come after two to three weeks."

In fact, Park Min-ho is a promising player who Lee Bum-ho has constantly watched since he was a coach for the 2nd tier team. He is also one of the three infielders who drew the most attention along with Yoon Do-hyun and Jung Hae-won at the spring camp last winter. KIA sees that they can grow into both offense and defense chiefs.

Manager Lee Bum-ho said, "I think Min is as good as other members of the first team based on his skills. When I was in charge of Futures League, I could see him perform. I just haven't played in a stadium with many spectators in the first team yet, but I can play as a starting member. I think he is a good infielder. He is one of the infield resources that are helpful to our team."

Park disappears from fans' view for a while, but coach Lee Bum-ho does not erase Park from his head. It is an option that can be useful even if Park Chan-ho returns.
