Seo Jin-yong (31) of SSG Landers is preparing for a new challenge to regain the glory of the Save King in 2023.

Seo Jin-yong, who became the save king with 5 wins, 4 losses, 42 saves and an ERA of 2.59 in 2023, was sluggish with 1 loss and 6 holds and an ERA of 5.55 last year.메이저놀이터

His sluggishness was closely related to elbow surgery.

The elbow bone fragment removal surgery after the end of the 2023 season greatly affected his condition. Additional bone damage was found during the operation, and the rehabilitation process was also slower than expected.

Regarding the reason why he chose to re-do it even though he was eligible for FA (free contract), Seo Jin-yong explained, "I decided to stay at SSG considering the team's salary cap, other players' contracts, and my performance."

Currently, Seo is focusing on individual training.

"My arm has completely improved. Unlike last year, the ball is properly energized," he said, expressing confidence.

In particular, he said, "I suffered a lot over the past year. My self-esteem was hurt a lot, and I was angry myself," adding, "I want to settle down quickly from the beginning like in 2023."
