Chae Eun-sung (35, Hanwha Eagles) started as the fifth batter and first baseman in an away game against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 31st and recorded two hits in three at-bats (one home run), two walks, three RBIs and two runs.
Chae Eun-sung, who stepped down with a fly ball in his first at-bat, continued his chance by drawing a walk in the top of the third inning. A shot exploded in the top of the sixth inning when the score was 2-2. Chae Eun-sung, who came out as the leadoff hitter, swung as NC pitcher Son Joo-hwan's slider was concentrated in the center, and the ball crossed the left-center fence. Chae Eun-sung's 8th home run of the season. At the same time, it was a home run in two consecutive games following the 30th.
Chae Eun-sung, who boasted a hot batting sense, drew a walk in the seventh inning, continued his chance once again, and hit a double to the left of the left field with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, opening the score from 4-3 to 6-3 to seal the game.
Chae Eun-sung's batting average, which remained in the 10% range at the beginning of this season, has already begun to reach mid-to-late-20s.
There was an extraordinary effort to increase the sense of hitting. After the game, Chae Eun-sung took the hitting form a little more concisely. I used to do a toe-tap, but I did it in a simple way to get rid of that part and go " If there's a movement of 1, 2, 3, you can think of it as eliminating movement 1"

The change was sudden, but it was the result of a long thought. Chae Eun-sung said, "(I think the idea of a change in strike form) has been heard since the LG days. Even when I was doing well, I thought about it for years in my head. I thought it was too much even though I was getting hit well. I think I couldn't throw it away because there was a year when I took a picture of the floor or notThere was a feeling that hitting " was too much and bumping into each other." At that time, I thought I could make it strong even if I hit it, but now it hasn't worked out like that."
Chae Eun-sung continued, `I thought we should make a change, and I thought it was wrong, or it would be difficult to make a bold change again if not now"It's not an easy adventure to make changes during the season, but it's not a completely different feeling, but a similar context, so I think I was able to do it."."
Chae Eun-sung, who himself said "The biggest change in recent years," expressed satisfaction, saying "I don't think it's too much because it fits well.'
He is also showing good performance in defense, such as throwing himself away. Chae Eun-sung "You have to work hard. We need to help each other do it. He emphasized that he is trying hard to do his best.
