NC is in its third year, and I haven't been able to seize opportunities properly during this time. I prepared for this season with the thought that it is truly the last chance.

The professional baseball NC Dinos has kicked off its rebound, achieving its first three consecutive wins of the season. One cannot overlook the contributions of Han Seok-hyeon (outfielder) in NC's upward trend.

Han Seok-hyeon began his professional career after graduating from Gyeongnam High School, having been selected in the second round of the fifth pick by the LG Twins in 2014. As a left-handed hitter and left-handed fielder, his strengths are a high on-base percentage and speed.

On September 23, 2020, during his time with LG, he achieved his 30th career cycling hit in an away game against the SK Wyverns in the Futures League. Having transferred to NC in November 2022 as the first Futures free agent, he spent more time in the Futures League than in the first team until last year.

Han Seok-hyeon is showcasing his ferocious batting skills on the first team stage this season. In 10 games, he has a batting average of .321 (9 hits in 28 at-bats), 1 home run, 7 RBIs, 8 runs scored, and 1 stolen base. Notably, during the three-game winning streak, he has led the offense with 5 hits in 9 at-bats, 4 RBIs, and 4 runs.

He said, "NC is in its third year, and I haven't been able to seize opportunities properly during this time. I prepared for this season with the thought that it is truly the last chance."

He continued, "I still believe I have a lot to improve, but I want to play boldly without hesitation. That seems to result in a good performance. Gaining confidence in defense has helped me gain confidence in my batting as well."

Team veterans, including captain Park Min-woo, Son Ah-seop, Park Geon-woo, Park Se-hyok, and Kwon Hee-dong, do not spare their encouragement to help Han Seok-hyeon adapt well to the first team stage. Han Seok-hyeon stated, "The encouragement from my seniors really gives me great strength," adding, "My goal is to become a player who contributes to the team's victory by doing my best in every game."

Finally, he did not forget to say, "I sincerely thank all the fans who come to support us even away games."
