INCHEON– As a collegiate ball player four years ago, SSG Landers outfielder Choi Ji-hoon was watching the Korean Series at a bar with friends, watching the team that would draft him the next fall win the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) championship.
This week, Choi, now 25 and an everyday outfielder for the Landers, will make his KBO postseason debut in the championship round, with the team having earned a bye to this stage after winning the regular season title.
Moments before Game 1 of the best-of-seven series Tuesday, Choi said he might have been even more excited watching the team, then called the SK Wyverns, upset the top-seeded Doosan Bears in 2018 than he is now.
