The SK Wyverns
held a full meeting on the morning of January 4th. The entire team attended
as well as the coaching staff. And Park Jin-man was chosen by the players in a
vote to become the captain of the team in the up-coming season. Park beat Cho
In-seong by two votes to win.
Last year’s
captain was Jeong Geun-woo. But after losing Jeong to the Hanhwa Eagles in free agency,
the baton was passed to Park in this day’s meeting. Kim Gang-min was the
interim captain since the November season ending camp held in Kagoshima, Japan.
Park Jin-man is a
quiet, charismatic player. He differs from past captains “Charismatic Kim
Jae-hyun” and “Older Brother Leader Lee Ho-jyun.” Park does not just lead with
seniority, he leads with his actions on the field. Park earns the respect of
his teammates with his play on the field. And this is the reason why SK’s
players chose Park.
The Wyverns ended last season in 6th
place, 2 places out of a playoff spot. This was the first time in 7 seasons
that SK did not play in the fall. Needless to say, a lot will be expected of
Park Jin-man.
