"I'm confident that I'll do my best"

SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 16th. SSG Landers players practiced batting about five hours before the start of the game.

On the 15th, SSG lost 0-2 at Hanwha Eagles. There were only two hits.




SSG's team's batting condition has declined rapidly recently. This season's team batting average was .231, ranking ninth in the league. He also tied for ninth with the Lotte Giants with eight home runs. This is one more than the lowest-ranked KT Wiz.

As the slump dragged on, hitters and other hitting part coaches also came up with countermeasures. Ahead of the match against Hanwha on the 16th, SSG Landers coach Lee Sung-yong said, `I started hitting at around 1 o'clock yesterday. The batting coach is working diligently because young players have to do a lot. I'm trying to find a way to practice" he said.

The KBO League SSG and Hanwha match held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 15th. hitting SSG Jung Joon-jae. Incheon = Song Jeong-heon Reporter's songs@sportschosun.com/2025.04.15/
On this day, SSG formed the starting lineup in the order of Jihoon Choi (middle fielder), Jung Joon-jae (second baseman), Park Sung-han (striker), Han Yu-sum (right fielder), Lee Ji-young (catcher), Oh Tae-gon (left fielder), Ko Myung-joon (first baseman), Hyun Won-hoe (designated hitter), and Ahn Sang-hyun (third baseman). Compared to the lineup the previous day, there was a difference in the degree to which No. 9 hitter Park Ji-hwan was out and Ahn Sang-hyun was in. Park Ji-hwan was silent with two strikeouts in two at-bats in the previous day's game.




Director Lee said, "(Park) Ji-hwan seems to be a little down, although his condition yesterday is also in condition. We talked a lot. I told my young friends that I could put down the burden"I can use (Park) Ji-hwan by tomorrow. I think it's a process that Jun-jae (Jung) and Myung-jun (Go) also go through to get through a season. There was a process of practicing, and I worked hard. That's why I think we need time. I think it's a little hardened. I want to be comfortable" he said.

Neither Park Ji-hwan, Ko Myung-joon, and Jung Joon-jae have much experience yet. In particular, Park Ji-hwan and Jung Joon-jae are in their second year this year. In the absence of key players such as Choi Jung and Guillermo Herredia, there are inevitably some ups and downs for young players to lead the team. Manager Lee said, `There are a lot of injuries in the current lineup. Young players should come up together as the axis players hit it. I think it's too much for young players to handle now. "I want to give them a little more time. I watched the practice process and worked hard together, so I'm sure it'll come up. So I'm going to carry it with me,' he said, expressing a firm belief in the young hitter.
