When NC Oh Young-soo comes to bat, NC fans shout MVP. Rapper Don Mills' 'MVP' is Oh Young-soo's song. Oh Young-soo has not yet shown much in the first team, with a batting average of 0.232 and 10 home runs in 167 games in four seasons so far, but NC fans are willing to call him MVP.
He is a ‘local boy’ from Changwon who graduated from Masan Yongma High School, and he is a player with a definite character of slugging ability. The first coach, Kim Gyeong-moon, said, “He is a player with star temperament,” and immediately assigned Oh Young-soo, who was a rookie, to the first team in 2018 as the third hitter.
As with many promising players, Oh Young-soo clearly has elements that make us look forward to it. He can also be expected to drive. He said he had 'a beautiful two weeks' in September. His batting average was .196 as he finished August, but two weeks of action from September 1 to 13 brought his batting average up to .273. During this period, he had the highest batting average of 0.531 among players with 30 or more plate appearances.
This postseason is Oh Young-soo’s first fall baseball. NC coach Kang In-kwon is alternately using Do Tae-hoon and Oh Young-soo as first basemen. As Yoon Hyeong-jun was left out of the wild card game and the semi-playoff entry, we ended up having to endure a situation where there were only two left-handed first basemen. Although Oh Young-soo did not reach base, he entered the starting lineup.
When NC needs to strengthen its defense, it sends Do Tae-hoon out as first baseman. However, Oh Young-su on the 25th had no gaps in defense either. It is no exaggeration to say that the excellent performance of shortstop Kim Joo-won and second baseman Park Min-woo was completed by Oh Young-soo's catch. Oh Young-soo said, "I want to catch the ball comfortably so that the infielders can throw it comfortably, but since I am short (profile 178cm), tall players often have a hard time catching the ball that would be easy to catch. These days, I am trying to catch it without any problems."
In the third game of the semi-playoffs against SSG Landers held at NC Park, the home stadium, on the 25th, Do Tae-hoon was replaced early due to an injury. He also recorded his first postseason hit in his debut in the 5th inning when the team was down 7-6. He hit a deep ground ball toward first base, sprinted, and even slid headfirst, reaching base before Oh Tae-gon. However, second base runner Seo Ho-cheol was out as he passed third base, so it did not lead to a bases-loaded opportunity.
Oh Young-soo said, "Others say not to slide headfirst to first base, but I think I did it two or three times in the regular season this year. I do it because I have a personal desire (to hit a hit) and I'm so desperate in important situations."
Before this infield hit, there was also a home run hit. He hit a huge foul home run against Kirk McCarty that seemed to fly out of the park. If this hit had gone inside the pole, Oh Young-soo, not Jason Martin, might have been selected as the Daily MVP of Game 3 of the semi-playoffs. Oh Young-su smiled and said, “The moment I got hit, I thought it was a dream. Still, I’m glad I won today.”
The featured song ‘MVP’ could become a reality. Oh Young-soo told the story behind the song, saying, "I got in touch with Don Mills and while we were having a meal together, my brother suggested that I should try writing this great song, so I ended up writing it." Don Mills visited NC Park in July of last year and performed a celebratory performance. Oh Young-soo smiled and said, “My dream is to be the post-season MVP,” like the lyrics of the song in which he appeared.
The next challenge is the playoffs with KT Wiz. Oh Young-soo said, "(Do) Tae-hoon has a stable defense, so he often goes out first. Still, I'll be preparing well from behind. Even when he goes out first, I want to play to help the team so that we can get good results."
