The San Diego team, including Fernando Tatis Jr. (Goundian), is saying goodbye to participating players with a high five after completing a baseball clinic event at the children's baseball field in the Yongsan Children's Garden on the 16th.

“It was really crazy to see the San Diego Padres players and the (Korean) president all in one day.”

Isaac, the son of Adam Smith, a U.S. soldier serving in the Air Force at Osan Base, said this after completing a baseball clinic held by the Major League Baseball (MLB) San Diego team at the Yongsan Children's Park baseball field in Seoul on the 16th. The San Diego uniform top I received at the event was filled with autographs from the players I met that day.

The San Diego team appeared at the baseball stadium around 12:30 pm on this day with big smiles. Before the team arrived, Park Chan-ho (51), CEO of the Park Chan-ho Foundation, and the players, who had been practicing to welcome the players, let out a cheer that seemed to make the stadium go away as each player was introduced one by one, to the point that there was no need for practice.

On this day, eight San Diego players, including Kim Ha-seong (29), who became the first Asian infielder to win the Golden Glove last season, Ko Woo-seok (26), Manny Machado (32), and Fernando Tatis Jr. (25), participated in the baseball clinic and participated in the baseball clinic as a member of Korea's elite youth players and U.S. soldiers stationed in Korea. I taught about 150 students, including my children.

The team arrived early in the morning the previous day to play the opening two-game 'Seoul Series' against the LA Dodgers at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 20th and 21st. The San Diego team expressed its desire to hold an event for youth players during their visit to Korea for the Seoul Series, and with the help of CEO Park Chan-ho, an advisor to San Diego, the event was organized that day.

Eric Groupner, CEO of San Diego, opened the event by saying, “Ha-Sung Kim is a player who directly showed that anything is possible. He gave his congratulatory speech by saying, “I hope that you too will do your best toward your dream with the mindset that anything is possible.” Regarding the participation of a large number of players, including the CEO, despite the tight schedule, a San Diego player representative said, “Participation in the clinic was 100% autonomous of the players. “The players liked Ha-seong Kim and were happy to do anything to help.”

Kim Ha-seong's father, Kim Sun-jong, who visited the event venue, watched with satisfaction as he coached youth players on defense, saying, "I'm really happy to see Ha-seong become a member of the major league team and coach youth players in Korea."

On this day, Masan Yangdeok Elementary School baseball team students and parents left at 4:40 a.m. and came to the event venue. Parents laughed and said, “I woke up at 3:30 a.m. to put clothes on my child who was sleeping,” and were busy taking pictures on their cell phones of their children learning baseball from big leaguers, whom they had only seen on TV.
