The July record was 8 wins and 5 losses, but only in the second half, it is 1 win and 3 losses. Could the joining of the injured be a turning point for the KIA Tigers?온라인바카라
KIA will play the first game of the weekend series against the Lotte Giants at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 28th.
KIA coach Kim Jong-guk, who we met before the game, explained, “Hwang Dae-in will join the Futures from today. He will play in the Futures game while training his skills little by little.”
Regarding whether to return to the 1st team in the future, he added, “It is still important to participate in many games in the Futures.
Hwang Dae-in, who played an active role as the fourth hitter for a while last season, recorded a batting average of .256, 14 homers, 91 RBIs, and an OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.716.
However, his performance this season is somewhat disappointing. He has a batting average of 2.4 3, 3 homers, 22 RBIs, and an OPS of only 0.634. Compared to last year, the on-base percentage differed by two pennies, but the slugging percentage dropped by more than six pennies.
It is true that at one time, Hwang Dae-in’s opportunities decreased amid Choi Won-joon’s discharge and Byeon Woo-hyuk’s active activities. However, the value of Hwang Dae-in is clear in that he is a rare resource in his team.
Hwang Dae-in left the club on July 7 due to a hamstring rupture. However, as he started as a first baseman in the Futures game that day, he had to check his condition.
Along with Hwang Dae-in, catcher Han Seung-taek, who left the team due to a rib injury, also joined the Futures. Han Seung-taek will stand by as a substitute.
Regarding Choi Won-joon, who has been recording hits in 9 consecutive games, coach Kim Jong-guk said, “I am getting a sense as a table setter. I hope you will keep this feeling longer.” Next, he explained about another giant gun prospect, Byun Woo-hyeok, “I can play as first or third baseman, and I plan to stand by as a pinch hitter when the opponent’s left-handed pitcher comes out. I plan to play according to the situation of Choi Won-joon or Kim Do-young.”
