NC’s Matt Davidson, ranked 0th for home run king, held a special event for Korean fans. He said he would present his collection to fans through his SNS account, not through the NC Dinos team. It was to repay NC’s fans’ support.안전놀이터
Davidson said on Instagram that he will hold a gift event for his collection on Wednesday afternoon. “Hello, I’m Matt Davidson, the first baseman of the NC Dinos,” he said before adding, “I’d like to hold a special event for fans ahead of the end of the season. If you follow me and leave a like and comment on this post, I’ll sign and gift the uniforms, bats, gloves and tools that I used in the game to the randomly selected fans.” Rather, the sincerity is more emphasized in the slightly clumsy sentence.
Davidson has played in 128 games this year until the game against SSG Landers on Wednesday, posting a batting average of 0.301, 46 homers and 119 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.993. Only Davidson has more than 40 homers this year. With NC having five games to go until the end of the regular season, Davidson is leading the Kia Tigers by eight points, who are ranking second in homers, Kim Do-young, the most likely winner of homers. He is the 40th homers and home run king again in four years following Mel Rojas Jr. (47 homers) of the KT Wiz in 2020.
His first season in Korea shook the heart of a 33-year-old veteran, who spent six seasons in the major leagues for 10 years and 12 seasons in the minor leagues. He already experienced Asian baseball last year while playing for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp in the Japanese pro baseball league, but this season in Korea, especially Korean fans’ passion for cheering seems to have a special meaning to him. It is a unique idea to hold an event in person.
Davidson has achieved one goal for himself. He said, “I wanted to show an outstanding performance that could offset last year’s slump in Japan. After joining NC, he posted on Instagram, “I will play in Korea this year for my team, the NC Dinos. I look forward to going to a new country and hitting a home run there.”
After hitting 30 home runs and 100 RBIs, he said, “I had a tough season last year. I prepared hard during the off-season to overcome that, and the things I prepared like that are coming out well. Before the season, I couldn’t predict whether it would work out or not. I’m very satisfied because the results are coming out well.”
Now, he wants to repay his fans for watching his comeback. Davidson’s SNS event will continue for the rest of September. Park Geon-woo also commented, “Please give me a bat.”
