11 hits and 11 RBIs? Kim Do Young can come slowly.

Should I say it's the instinct of the RBI. He hit 11 hits, and he has 11 RBIs. It is the strongest efficiency in the league. Will KIA Tigers' Byun Woo-hyuk finally take off the tag of '100,000 big shot prospect'.

KIA escaped its second consecutive defeat by winning 5-4 against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 8th.




No matter what anyone says, the MVP of the game is Byun Woo-hyuk. Byun Woo-hyuk made a timely two-run hit by pushing the first slider of opposing pitcher Park Jin in a two-out full base chance that his team was pushed 0-2 with Lee Woo-sung's pushing RBI.

3-2 come-from-behind. A timely hit that could have been the final hit. However, Byun Woo-hyuk's winning shot title seemed to fly away, allowing a tie in the seventh inning.

But there's nothing to be disappointed about. I just hit it again. Byun Woo-hyuk hit a final RBI single again that brought home runner Park Jae-hyun, a second baseman, in the eighth inning with one out and a runner on second base. KIA won the 5-4 victory thanks to Kim Tae-gun's additional RBI and closer Jung Hae-young's performance, who kept the one-run victory in the ninth inning.

KIA won the match between KIA and Lotte at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 8th with a score of 5-4. Director Lee Bum-ho and Byun Woo-hyuk are sharing the joy of victory. Busan = Reporter's wook@sportschosun.com/2025.04.08/
a two-hit, three-run game. Byun Woo-hyuk's bat is hot. The last four games have gone crazy. He has hits in four consecutive games, but he has two hits except for the LG Twins game on the 6th. The game against LG had one hit. And he has 3-2-1-3 RBIs in four games. Huge pace considering he had only two RBIs in five previous games. What's more surprising is that there isn't a single home run. A home run is a means to harvest a large number of RBIs at once. This means that when a chance comes, these chances are almost all saved.

Byun Woo-hyuk showed off his huge long-distance shots from high school and had high expectations when he joined the professional league. He is the first nominee of the Hanwha Eagles in 2019. But it didn't explode. He revealed his weaknesses in dealing with breaking balls. However, this season, rather than being greedy to hit long balls, the batting posture of making accurate contacts and making good hits into the ground is impressive.

The game between KIA and Lotte at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 8th, and KIA Byun Woo-hyuk, with one out and second base, is happy to hit an RBI comeback in the top of the 8th inning. Busan = Reporter's wook@sportschosun.com/2025.04.08/
KIA lost its main third baseman and MVP star Kim Do-young to injury in the opening game. It was a fatal blow. Coach Lee Bum-ho was clearly worried, such as placing Yoon Do-hyun and Wisdom at third base. However, since then, Byun Woo-hyuk has been virtually nailed as an alternative third baseman, and it seems to be a huge success. If it's the pace that Byun Woo-hyuk shows right now, it's a pity that Kim Do-young has to come back and take out Byun Woo-hyuk.




Kim Do-young has almost recovered from his hamstring injury, and is scheduled to return around next week after raising his sense of practice. Foreign hitter Wisdom is holding out for the first base, and Choi Hyung-woo must also enter the designated hitter position. If Byun Woo-hyuk's explosive power is now, Kim Do-young can slowly make her body more certain and come back.
