Huge ransom. It is not given to just anyone.
KIA Tigers Na Seong-beom and Samsung Lions Koo Ja-wook returned from injury.
It explodes as if to make up for the regret of the void twice as much, serving as a catalyst for active volcanoes.
Na Seong-beom and Koo Ja-wook rank 1st and 2nd in batting average (0.429, 0.424) in the second half among hitters who recorded more than 50 at-bats in the second half.
Na Seong-beom, who was called up for the first time in the season on June 23 after recovering from a left calf injury, hit a batting average of 3.66 and hit 9 home runs in 26 games this season. That’s one home run every three games. His RBI also swept 23 points. OPS reaches 1.138.
The second half is hotter.
In the last 10 games, he has 3 homers, 10 RBIs and 10 walks at a batting average of .514. He has a 7-game hitting streak, during which he racked up 15 hits.
Na Seong-beom played as the 4th hitter in the Gwangju Hanwha game on the 5th without Choi Hyeong-woo and Socrates, and gave the team a head start with a timely double that split left-center from the first at-bat with 1 out and 1st and 2nd bases at the end of the 1st inning. 4 at-bats, 2 hits, 1 RBI, 2 runs scored. With a 9-3 victory, he was the main player who led the recent three-game winning streak.
Koo Ja-wook, who returned after missing a month due to a right hamstring injury, is as hot as Na Seong-beom.
His batting average in the second half reached a whopping 40.2 4. OPS also reached 1.045.
Played better lately. Since the match against KT on the 22nd of last month, he is on a streak of 13 consecutive hits. Ja-wook Koo’s greatest value is his clutch ability. His scoring position batting average reached a whopping 40.1 4 li.
In the match against Daegu LG on the 5th, he attacked Choi Won-tae’s 147km fast ball at the 1st and 2nd bases, where he was trailing 1-2, hit a double at the right time to tie the score, and held a vigorous ‘sigh’ ceremony at the 2nd base. After his two-strikes, he dealt concisely with a focus on contact, and his batting average soared steeply along with his ability as a solver.꽁머니
Amidst the performance of the two players, Samsung and KIA are running 1st and 2nd in team batting average in the second half. Samsung is the only team with a 30% 6ri and KIA is 307ri, and they are two teams with a batting average of 30%.
Two high-priced players returning from injury. It shows why KIA and Samsung have been betting large sums for a long time. Na Seong-beom is a free agent with up to 15 billion won in 6 years, and Koo Ja-wook is a non-FA multi-year contract with up to 12 billion won in 5 years.
If you calculate the ripple effect of this level of activity, the word ‘smart for this taste’ is a suitable player.
Two players with a sense of hitting that is hotter than the heat wave. How far will the peak rise go? KIA’s entry into the top 5 and Samsung’s exit from the bottom are at stake on whether or not they will continue to be active.
