There was no need to worry about the on-base king for the second consecutive year.

It came back to life as if it had ever been like that. LG Twins' Hong Chang-ki is regaining his status as the on-base king with multiple hits in four consecutive games.

Hong Chang-ki scored two hits and one point from five times at bat in the first game of the doubleheader against the Samsung Lions in Daegu on the 10th, recording multiple hits in four consecutive games. In the second game, he did not record multiple hits by recording one hit in three at-bats, but he played the role of a top hitter with two walks and three on-base hits.




It is Hong Chang-ki, who showed quite severe sluggish performance until April. His batting average remained at 2209 (22 hits in 96 at-bats), and his on-base percentage was only 358. I couldn't believe it was Hong Chang-ki's performance, who became the on-base king for the second consecutive year with 444 percent in 2023 and 447 percent last year. At the end of April, batting order went down to No. 2 and No. 6.

There were many sides that were hit by strikes on the high side and on both corners. There are a lot of balls that can't be hit after two strikes, and if this is recognized as a strike across the ABS zone, it gets hit without moving. Hong Chang-gi was inevitably difficult to pitch using ABS while the batting feeling was not good.

But Hong Chang-ki started hitting again in May. Since the game against Doosan on the 5th, he has shown his batting ability with multiple hits in four consecutive games.

LG's offense also revived as Hong Chang-ki hit and got on base. Hong Chang-ki's on-base is connected to scoring and also leads to victory.

In the first game of the doubleheader against Samsung on the 10th, after hitting an infield hit at the third baseman in the top of the first inning, he homered and scored the first run when Kim Hyun-soo hit a timely hit, and LG's four runs from Samsung ace Ariel Furado in the first inning eventually returned to a 5-4 one-run victory.

In the second game of the doubleheader, in the top of the fifth inning, when the score was tied at 1-1, Hong Chang-ki immediately scored after Park Hae-min's triple to right-center hit, and Moon Sung-joo's double and Kim Hyun-soo's timely hit added two runs at once to lead 4-1 and the game was over, allowing LG to catch both games of the doubleheader and trail Hanwha by one game.




Hong Chang-ki's batting performance in eight games in May is .367 (11 hits in 30 at-bats) and his on-base percentage is .486. Not only Hong Chang-ki, but also Park Hae-min and Moon Sung-joo are recovering their hits, and LG's atmosphere is also improving.

The batting average for the season is not yet high at 262, and the on-base percentage is 389, which does not match Hong Chang-ki's reputation. But there are still 105 games left.
