Description
Choi Hyung-woo (41), the batting manager of the KIA Tigers, hit a finishing hit from Cho Sang-woo in the top of the 10th inning of extra time against the Kiwoom Heroes in Gocheok on the 23rd. However, Choi made the unexpected remarks after the game. It was true. Choi has seen his batting performance drop a lot since mid-April.
The class never runs away. No matter how poorly he gets hit, Choi is Choi. He has a batting average of 0.268 in the last 10 games, but he has 12 RBIs. He is playing his part as a cleanup hitter. He also garnered a three-run shot against the LG Twins in Jamsil on Tuesday local time.
Choi faces a major change. This is because Na Sung-bum, the star player, has returned. Na was appointed as a substitute in the game on Friday, and is expected to move back and forth between the main players and substitutes for the time being. Even if he plays normally, he will likely have a high proportion of designated hitters.
In other words, Na Sung-bum's return means that Choi Hyung-woo could have two changes. It is the expansion of the proportion of left field defense and adjustment of batting order. Of course, Choi Hyung-woo is OK. The spirit of sacrifice is alive and breathing to do anything for KIA's victory. If KIA wins, he can leave the office smiling even if he can't get a hit. He has already increased the practice time for left field defense.
Of course, it is difficult for Choi to play left field defense all week long. This part needs a golden split of coach Lee Bum-ho. Perhaps he will be asked to share the ratio of designated hitters between Choi Hyung-woo and Na Sung-bum throughout this season. This is because Na's legs are now subject to special management.
However, such a change could serve as an opportunity for Choi, who has been suffering from poor batting performance recently. As for batting order, Lee Bum-ho considers Na's use of No. 4 to be the best, but has left open the possibility of using No. 3. He did not rule out the possibility of using Kim Do-young as No. 2. If Na is used as No. 3 hitter, Choi is expected to keep No. 4 hitter.
However, if Na Sung-bum enters the fourth batting order due to Lee's initial pitch, Choi will likely move down to fifth or sixth. This means diversification of checks for Choi. Even if he maintains the fourth position, Na Sung-bum's presence in the third position will likely ease Choi's burden. Choi will be able to get out of the excessive burden of having to deal with the team when the team's offense does not work out. He also confessed that he was angry when his team loses even though he couldn't solve the problem.
Also, for Choi, leaving the left field defense on the day Na Sung-bum plays as a designated hitter can be a change of mood. Playing defense with an appropriate proportion can help maintain batting sense rather than playing designated hitter all year round. 토토사이트 추천 Most players prefer both defense and designated hitter to full-time. This is to prevent their bodies from hardening.
Along with Na's return, slight changes in the center line and lineup are likely to help Kia in the long run. If Na lives with Na and existing players, there is nothing Kia would want. For Kia, it is a game-winner in May.
