He is surpassing himself two years ago when he won the Golden Glove. In the past, he often went on base with a walk, but now he hits the base coolly with a hit. It is LG outfielder Hong Chang-ki (29), who is staring at the golden glove once again with a near-flawless performance.바카라
Leadoff Hong Chang-ki flew 4 times with 3 hits and 3 RBIs against KT in Jamsil on the 6th. He went to base with a right-handed hit from his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning, a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 5th, a right-handed hit in the bottom of the 6th, and a timely double that became the final hit in the bottom of the 8th. With Hong Chang-ki’s performance at the forefront, LG beat KT 8-7 and avenged the previous day’s defeat.
It’s not a one-game performance. It is no exaggeration to say that he is currently the hottest hitter, making hits like a machine and getting on base without a break. 0.474 batting average in the last 10 games including this game. His on-base percentage is 0.553. He continues his monstrous form with an OPS of 1.237.
Two years ago, he won the Golden Glove with a batting average of 0.328 and an on-base percentage of 0.456, but he is stronger than he was at the time. He racks up a high batting average and high on-base percentage while racking up a lot of hits. As of the 6th, Hong Chang-ki is recording a batting average of 0.332 and an on-base percentage of 0.449. His batting average is second in the league and his on-base percentage is first in the league.
After the game, Hong Chang-ki said, “I feel good at hitting these days. He has more hits than when he received the Golden Gloves two years ago,” he said. “It seems to work well that I changed my mind. Waiting doesn’t mean walks will come out, so I tried to hit a little more aggressively this year, but the results are good,” he smiled.

Regarding the secret to countless hits, “I look at the data provided by the data analysis team, think in advance and go to bat. And at bat, I try to hit boldly and aggressively.”
In addition, regarding the final stroke at the end of the 8th inning on this day, “It was 1st out and 3rd base, and (Park) Hae-min was at 3rd base. He’s a fast runner, so he hit it comfortably, thinking he could score even on a shallow fly. He thought that only results were needed. He played forward defense, but on the contrary, I was more grateful,” he said, revealing his confidence in the clutch situation.

Hong Chang-ki’s scoring position batting average this season was 0.325. Like today’s game, if you create a chance in the lower batting order, you will consistently hit the right time as the first hitter. Hong Chang-ki said, “Our batters are so good. Even if I lose, I always think that I don’t think I will lose,” he said, conveying his confidence in his teammates.
I didn’t care much about the fact that I had a lot of balls that fit my body. With 17 balls that fit the body, this is also the first, but rather, it was comforting that the on-base rate went up. He said, “It seems that the opponent is getting hit a lot while playing a lot on the body side. It hurts when I get hit, but since the on-base rate goes up, I go to first base while thinking about the on-base rate.”
Hong Chang-ki said, “I don’t know when I will be able to receive this award again” when winning the Golden Globes two years ago. However, at the halfway point this season, he ranks second in WAR among outfielders, following Jung-Hoo Lee.
Hong Chang-ki said, “Of course, I want to win another Golden Glove. But the first half isn’t over yet. You never know what will happen in the second half. Still, I wonder if the rewards will follow if I continue like I am now. I want to go to the end while preparing hard.”
