# 'I WENT TO KANG JUNG-HO'S SCHOOL, I HIT A GRAND SLAM... BUT I'M SURE I'LL BE THE BEST 25-YEAR-OLD IN THE COUNTRY' He went to the Jung-ho Kang school. But for now, Kim Hyung-joon, 25, is the favorite to be the Dinos’ starting catcher in the regular-season opener against the KBO’s best catcher, Yang Ji-hyun (Doosan Bears). The NC Dinos are essentially done competing for the starting job this season. The infield traffic has been cleared up by filling the foreign-born batting spot with first baseman Matt Davidson. In the outfield, the Dinos have retained Kwon Hee-dong in left field and Park Gun-woo in right field, with defensive stalwart Sung-wook Kim as their starting center fielder. **[바카라사이트](https://www.casinositewiki.com)** There’s one last position left. Catcher, the position that Kang Kwon-hyun played during his playing days. Veteran Park Se-hyuk (34) and rookie Kim Hyung-joon (25) are in a fierce competition. However, Kang Ki-won seems to have made up his mind. Like in the second half of the 2023 season, he is likely to give Kim the starting role. “There are two of them, so I’m thinking about the ratio,” Kang said ahead of the Changwon Kiwoom Heroes exhibition match on Nov. 11, “but I think Kim Hyung-joon will play first.” [Kang Jung-ho](https://cristellecruz.nethouse.ru/products/58881759) is convinced that Kim is the best catcher in the KBO among all catchers in their mid-20s. “Kim Hyung-joon is a great catcher in all aspects: shoulder, pitcher’s lead, and leadership. He also has an advantage in hitting. He can hit long balls. He is one of the best catchers in this age group.” He has proven himself with a gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games and a spot in the Asian Professional Baseball Championship.
