Son Ah-seop expresses his thoughts on receiving the Best Player Award

Son Ah-seop (NC Dinos) is expressing his thoughts after receiving the best player award at the '2023 Korean Professional Baseball Retired Players Day' event held at Hotel Riviera in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 7th.

Son Ah-seop (NC Dinos) is having a busy year-end this year thanks to being named batting champion for the first time in his career.

Son Ah-seop won the batting average (0.339) and hits (187) titles in the 2023 season and won the batting title for the first time in his 17 years as a professional.

He has finally shaken off the regret of losing by 3 leagues to LG Twins Lee Byung-gyu (0.348) in 2013 and by 2 leagues to KIA Choi Hyeong-woo (0.354) in 2020.

Son Ah-seop, who held two trophies at the KBO awards ceremony, later received the Batter Award at the Sports Seoul Award of the Year and the Comeback Award at the Daily Sports and Cho-A Pharmaceutical Professional Baseball Awards.

And on the 7th, he lifted up the ‘2023 Best Player Award' awarded by the Korea Professional Baseball Retired Players Association.

Unlike the previous awards he received, it was an even more meaningful honor for Son Ah-seop because it was a grand prize award.

Son Ah-seop met with reporters at the awards ceremony held at the Hotel Riviera in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on this day and said, "I am so happy," and added, "I want to achieve good results next year and be invited to as many awards ceremonies as I did this year."

He said, “I'm so happy that when I lie down to sleep, I think, ‘Will I be able to do as well as I did this year next year?' A sense of pressure coexists,” but he added, “These award ceremonies motivate me.”

In particular, regarding the award received that day, he said, "(Until today) I received an award that was one level lower than the grand prize by (Noh) Si-hwan," and added, "I think I would like to receive the 'Best Player Award' at more award ceremonies." He expressed his greed.

He wittily said, “Since (the annual salary) is fixed anyway, I have no choice but to use the prize money as motivation.”

Son Ah-seop plans to move to the United States during the off-season and focus on hitting training with Kang Jung-ho (retired) like last year.

Son Ah-seop said, “I want to develop my slugging ability while maintaining my strengths,” and added, “I feel regretful about the number of home runs. I plan to discuss with Jeong-ho about the reason why there are so few home runs.”

Regarding his teammate Eric Peddy, who returned to Major League Baseball (MLB), he said with a smile, "It was an honor to play with him and it was a good memory," and "I think I had an advantage in the competition for the batting title because I didn't play against Peddy." 고스톱
