It’s been a busy end of the year for Son Asup (NC Dinos), who was crowned batting champion for the first time in his career.Son won the batting title for the first time in his 17th year as a professional after winning the batting average (0.339) and hits (187) titles in the 2023 season.He finally shook off the disappointment of finishing third to LG Twins’ Lee Byung-kyu (0.348) in 2013 and second to KIA’s Choi Hyung-woo (0.354) in 2020.After hugging two trophies at the KBO awards ceremony, Son won the Sports Seoul Player of the Year Award and the Daily Sports-Joa Pharmaceutical Baseball Award for his comeback.And on the 7th, he was honored with the ‘Best Player of 2023’ award by the Korea Professional Baseball Retired Players Association.”I’m so happy,” he told reporters at the award ceremony held at Hotel Rivera in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, “I want to do well next year and be invited to as many awards ceremonies as I did this year.””I’m so happy that when I lie down to sleep, I think, ‘Will I be able to do as much as this year next year? There’s a lot of pressure,” he said, “but these awards are what motivate me.”Speaking about the award he received, he said, “(Until today), I was only one point behind (Noh) Shi Hwan-yi for the grand prize,” and expressed his desire to win the ‘Best Player’ award at more ceremonies.He also quipped, “Since (my salary) 온라인카지노 is fixed anyway, I can only motivate myself with prize money.”
