"LG's outfield is so strong..." But his eyes were full!…"100m, 11 seconds. A man of great power."
"I'm still puzzled, but I'll run hard in my hometown (Seoul)."
LG officially announced on the 18th that it conducted a one-on-one trade between pitcher Chae Ji-sun and NC outfielder Choi Seung-min.
On the 20th, Choi Seung-min visited Jamsil Baseball Stadium to take a profile picture and join the team. Choi Seung-min's expression, who arrived for a profile shoot after changing his uniform, was both excited and nervous.
After graduating from Shinil High School, Choi Seung-min joined NC in 2015 and played 116 games in the first division from the 2019 season, recording a batting average of 0.297 at-bats, 5 RBIs, and 16 steals.
In the 2023 season, he was named to the first-tier spring camp to announce his growth potential, and he is recording 0.239 in 24 games and 16 hits and 7 steals in 67 at-bats in the Futures League.
In the profile photo, Choi Seung-min blurted his words about his future aspirations, saying, "LG's outfield is too strong..." but his eyes were firm. Also, Choi Seung-min talked about the advantage of being able to play baseball more comfortably from Seoul to high school.
Choi Seung-min has fast feet. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop also said, "No player in the team has faster feet than Shin Min-jae." We need a substitute. "If possible, we should strengthen it even through a trade," he said, and Choi Seung-min's trade was decided.

Choi Seung-min may take a position in the first team if he uses his fast feet as a weapon and adds his ability to carry out operations. And he is a player who can play as a "secret weapon" mentioned by head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop in the postseason.
After finishing his profile photo shoot, LG Choi Seung-min moved to the director's office for his first meeting with LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop.
Expectations are high on what Choi Seung-min, who wore an LG uniform as his first trade in his life, will do in the future.
