Have you subscribed to my channel? Let me check first."

Matt Davidson (34), the home run king of the KBO League and the NC Dinos' flagship hitter, recently opened his own YouTube channel. As of Tuesday (Korea time), he does not have many subscribers. He uploaded 10 videos and showed him training mainly at Tucson Spring camp in Arizona.안전놀이터

Most of the videos are just "shoot" videos. There are also videos where you can only hear Davidson's cool swing and hitting sound. It feels like he has not been touched by subtitles or editing. A club official laughed and said that Davidson doesn't have video editing skills yet. The club's YouTube and SNS teams are helping Davidson's channel from time to time.

When Davison talked about opening a YouTube channel at the Tainan Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Center in Taiwan on the 23rd, he laughed and said, "Did you subscribe to my channel? Let me check it first." He said, "There are three main reasons. First of all, I enjoyed my life in Korea last year, and the love I received from my fans was so great that I thought a lot about how to return the love to my fans."

Davidson has quite good fan service. He even presented his faulty equipment to fans through his Instagram account after the 2024 season. He is also interested in how he can get closer to fans.

"Secondly, if you leave a video of your life in Korea, you can use it for your family and for your records or for your archive," Davidson said. The purpose of the visit is to communicate with family members who remain in the U.S. as a memory. I am more satisfied with my life in Korea than anyone else.

And the last one is more meaningful than anything else. This is to let the U.S. know about the KBO League. Davison said, "Many players in the U.S. are very curious about the KBO. It's hard to describe. You have to show it in a video. I think I can act as a medium to my fellow American players as a player."

It is practically impossible for Davidson to post a video of his game on his YouTube account due to copyright issues. However, he seems to be able to share his pre-game training, life in Changwon and culture of cheering for the KBO League with the U.S. as much as he wants.

Of course, baseball is a priority. Davidson said, "I'm a baseball player. I have to focus on baseball first. That's why this channel won't be a priority during the season. However, I can try it whenever I have a chance during the season. I'll see what happens."

Of course, clubs actively operate YouTube channels. There are not many cases where individual players run YouTube channels. Currently, Park Kun-woo opened a YouTube channel last winter to communicate with fans at NC. Park himself restricted the operation of YouTube channels to inactive periods. He said he will focus only on baseball during spring camp and season
