Is this a true story. Since Rafak Samsung and Jamsil LG are tied for first place with 61 home runs, I dream of becoming the first home run in LG's history.

However, on the 28th, when they played 54 games side by side this season, Samsung and LG both hit 61 to rank first in home runs.
LG became the team of home runs. He followed Samsung and stood shoulder to shoulder. It is in a situation where it is trying to win the first place in the team's home run ever.
LG hit three home runs in a home game against the Hanwha Eagles in Jamsil on the 28th. Kim Hyun-soo and Lee Young-bin hit solo shots one by one from Hanwha starter Cody Ponce, who is considered the best pitcher this season, and Park Dong-won hit a solo shot from Park Sang-won in the bottom of the 11th inning.
Unfortunately, LG lost to Hanwha 5-6, but it is positive that it changed the atmosphere of the game, which was dragged perfectly by Ponce until the third inning, to a home run, and turned the tide.
The first hit in the bottom of the fourth inning was Kim Hyun-soo's solo shot. He pulled Ponce's 155.5km high fastball into a home run. And in the bottom of the sixth inning, No. 9 Lee Young-bin hit Ponce's high 142.9km changeup to cross the right-center fence.
It was Park Dong-won's solo shot that turned it back into hope even when Chae Eun-sung's two-run shot in the top of the 11th inning was losing 4-6. Park Sang-won's 145.7km fastball went over the left fence. After that, he continued to the chance to finish with the bases loaded with two outs, but unfortunately, Han-ho won.
What has changed for LG this season is its long-range hitting power. The number of scenes where home runs change the flow of the game or make wins has increased significantly.

LG players are also at the top of the individual rankings.
Samsung's Lewin Diaz is far ahead with 21 home runs, but second place is Austin Dean with 16, third place is Park Dong-won with 13, and 11 Moon Bo-kyung tied for fourth place.
Currently, LG's three central hitters are ranked second, third and fourth in the home run rankings.
After that, Oh Ji-hwan hit six and Kim Hyun-soo hit four, and Song Chan-ui and Lee Young-bin added three each. Lee Joo-heon, who is playing as the second catcher, is also hitting two, so LG's catcher is hitting 15 home runs.
He played 30 games in Jamsil, the largest, and hit 34 home runs. The number of home runs per game is almost the same as 27 in 24 games at other stadiums. In other words, it means that they are hitting home runs like Jamsil or other stadiums.
According to this figure, LG has 162 home runs this season. LG's most homeruns in a season was 149 in 202 when Roberto Ramos hit 38 homeruns.
Of course, it is not easy to fight against Samsung for the first place in home runs. This is because there is a high probability of more home runs in the future at Samsung Lions Park.
Still, the fact that it has the power to turn the tide with one big shot will inevitably increase the guard of the opposing team against LG.
