“Of course I thought Buchanan would get it… ”.
The real protagonist of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO All-Star Game held at Sajik Stadium on the 15th was David Buchanan (Samsung).바카라
Participating in the feast of the stars as a dream all-star coach’s recommended player, he showed his talents to the fullest as he was a rich man. He had a dance battle with LG Austin Dean to New Jeans’ ‘High Lip Boy’ and appeared in an air force pilot outfit, drawing attention.
He went to right field in place of Koo Ja-wook during defense in the bottom of the 8th inning. After two outs in the eighth inning, he directly handled Oh Ji-hwan’s batted ball, receiving applause.
Buchanan entered the plate in the 9th inning with 2nd out, 1st and 3rd base chances. On the mound is Go Woo-seok, the king of salvation. Against Buchanan, he threw six consecutive fastballs around 150 km.
Buchanan hit a 150km fastball in the 6th ball count 2B-2S and connected it with a hit in the middle left. The runner on third is home with ease. Kang Min-ho and Jeon Jun-woo, who were watching from the dugout, could not hide their surprise.
For the Best Performance Award, Lotte’s Kim Min-seok, who showed off a flamboyant dance with bobby pins in his hair like Jennie of ‘Black Pink’, won 12 out of 24 votes from the reporters and enjoyed the honor of the award. Buchanan only got 4 votes.
Buchanan said, “It would be nice to receive it, but it’s okay because I wasn’t greedy in the first place. It was nice to be able to communicate a lot with the fans and have a good time. I am going with good memories,” he smiled.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man, who met with reporters ahead of the Daegu KT game on the 21st, said about Buchanan’s failure to win the Best Performance Award in the All-Star Game, “Of course, I knew Buchanan would receive it. He showed performances throughout the game from the first to the ninth inning. When I saw it, Buchanan was number one,” he said.
Manager Park Jin-man highly praised Buchanan’s sharp bat skills. He said, “Looking at the batting stance, it was well held. Go Woo-seok was not a light thrower, but he hit well,” he praised.
Won Tae-in, the ‘blue-blooded ace’, said, “When I watched the All-Star Game, I could only see Buchanan. He thought he would receive it, but unfortunately missed it, but he said he was not greedy. As expected, I can’t seem to hide my talent,” he smiled.
