Seo started at third base in the seventh inning against the KT Wiz in the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 1st.
From the very beginning of the game, Seo’s bat produced results. In the top of the second inning, he took a slider from opposing starter Choi Byeol-sung and smashed a huge double off the left field wall. In his second at-bat, in the top of the fourth inning, with the bases loaded, he picked off a pitch on a full count.
The highlight came in his third at-bat. With two outs in the top of the fifth inning and his team leading 5-3, he hit a forked ball from reliever Lee Sang-dong over the left field fence for a 115-metre solo shot (his second of the season) to make it 6-3. In his final at-bat, a bases-loaded walk in the top of the eighth inning, he stood out with a final line of 3-for-2 with one home run, one RBI and one walk.Seo Ho-cheol joined the NC with the 87th overall pick in the second nine rounds of the 2019 KBO League Rookie Draft after graduating from Dongwon University.
He is increasingly proving that success doesn’t come in order of draft position. In his first year, he showed promise with a .337 (90-for-267) batting average in 76 games in the Futures League, before joining the Merchant Marine and serving in the military, where he was named the Futures League batting champion with a .388 (97-for-250) average in 2021.
Seo is actually playing his first full-time season with the first team this year. And he’s been exactly what the team wanted him to be on the field. In 62 games this year, he’s batting .323 (70-for-217) with two home runs and 27 RBIs. He’s batted in the top of the order (twice) and bottom of the order (seven times) depending on the team’s needs. His batting average is good enough to rank fourth in the league and first on the team.
In addition to his impressive batting, he also helps the team defensively. His multi-position play at third base (303 innings), second base (169⅔ innings), and shortstop (4 innings) has given the infield a boost.
In a recent managerial briefing, NC manager Kang Myung-ho said, “Seo Ho-chul can bat at the bottom of the order or go up front when Park Min-woo is injured. He does his part in any batting order,” he said, adding, “I’m grateful that he plays multiple positions (not just batting). He also seems to manage his fitness well,” he said.
Seo Ho-cheol is fulfilling his potential in the first team, just as he did when he was bombing the Futures League. The miracle that the Dinosaur Legion has been waiting for in Round 9 is just beginning.
