"It doesn't feel real."

Prior to the start of the season, the coach positioned himself as the main second baseman. He started the season opener. He showed poor batting performance. He had "no hit" in 13 times at bat in four games. Finally, he had his first hit since his debut. He also scored a point. This means Oh Myung-jin (24) of the Doosan Bears.

Oh had his first hit in the first division of the Korean pro league against Kiwoom in the 2025 KBO League held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Sunday. "I feel dizzy and can't believe it," Oh said after the game. "I'm so grateful to the coach and the coach for waiting. He didn't show much. He gave me many good words and waited for me," Oh said.
Oh started as second baseman and eighth batter on the day. He hit Kiwoom starter Yoon Hyun's fastball in the bottom of the fourth inning. The ball fell in front of center field. It was his first hit since his debut. When Kang was at bat, he also scored on an opponent's wild pitch.

Oh was drafted by Doosan in the second round and sixth round of the 2020 KBO Rookie Draft. He did not play in the first team.

This season was different. He had a batting average of 0.407, five RBIs and four runs scored, and 1.023 on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) at exhibition games. He displayed strong performance. He changed the coach's mind. Coach Lee said, "I had a lot of worries during the camp, but now Oh Myung-jin is the most likely second baseman." 메이저놀이터

He started the game as an opener, but failed to meet expectations. Since then, he has hardly elevated his batting performance. He stopped short of picking up a walk among four starting opportunities. Then, he had a hit at the game against Kiwoom on Sunday, sending a signal that enabled him to overcome his slump.

Oh, who thanked the coaches and coaches for giving him trust, also did not forget the fans who cheered for him. "Many fans sent me messages of support and encouragement even though I didn't have a hit. That's how I got my first hit," Oh said.

The team is difficult. He knows well that it is not time to settle down for his first hit. "This is the beginning. I want to play harder and show better performances," Oh said.
