Park Byung-ho of the Samsung Lions is a home run hitter who represents the KBO League. Since becoming the first home run king with 31 home runs in 2012, he is one of the hitters that comes to mind when he hits home runs six times, including in 2013 (37), 2014 (52), 2015 (53), 2019 (33), and 2022 (35). He was the only one in the KBO League who hit more than 50 home runs for two consecutive years.
The batting average has been falling recently, but the power is still there. Last year, when he moved to Samsung during the season, his batting average was not good at .231, but Park Byung-ho, who hit 23 home runs, had a lower batting average this season. In June, the batting slump came down to the 10% level.
Until the 18th, he had a batting average of 186 (26 hits in 140 at-bats) with only 10 home runs and 21 RBIs.
The home run is starting to go off. In the match against Doosan Bears in Daegu on the 19th, he hit a two-run shot with a full base and swept two hits and six RBIs in three at-bats against Doosan's foreign pitcher Jack Rogue. Unfortunately, the team lost 8-9.
In the match against Lotte in Busan on the 20th, he hit a solo shot from Gamboa, which became the team's only score and lost 1-3. In the game against Lotte on the 22nd, he also hit a three-run shot against Park Se-woong, but lost 6-9 with six runs in the bottom of the seventh inning, which the team could not believe.
Having hit a home run in three consecutive games, Park had four hits in 12 at-bats. All four of those hits were home runs. In other words, there were no hits other than home runs.
Samsung manager Park Jin-man viewed it positively. "Homerun means that one's points and timing are right. I think the batting average will go up quickly because I've got a feeling of hittingHe expected Park Byung-ho to rise.

Park Byung-ho, who started as a designated hitter, appeared at his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning with one out and a runner on the first base with a 2-0 lead, and hit a superior double against opposing starter Ryan Weiss. A big hit flew away and a double fell in front of the right fence. He created additional scoring chances with one out and runners on second and third bases.
I hit a home run in my second at-bat. He came out as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the third inning with a 4-0 lead, pulling a high sweeper in the middle of Weiss' first pitch of 134km and lightly hitting the left fence. A big home run with a distance of 120m. It was his 15th season. His teammates Diaz (27) and Austin Dean (19) ranked third in homers. Among Korean hitters, he beat Kia Tigers' Choi Hyung-woo (14).
In the bottom of the fourth inning, with two outs and runners on the first and third bases, he hit a left-handed hit from the changed pitcher Kim Jong-soo to add an RBI. At the end of the sixth inning, he was out with a shortstop line drive.
He scored three hits in four at-bats (one home run) with two RBIs and one run, leading his team to escape three consecutive losses with a 7-2 victory.
It's the first time this season that I've had three hits. It was a special day for Park Byung-ho, who had only three three hits last year. It is especially positive that all the opponents who hit home runs in four consecutive games were ace.
Park Byung-ho said, `I was losing consecutive games, but I think all the players recovered well yesterday due to rain and I was able to play well. "I met a good pitcher on the other team, and I'm happy to win. I don't think the home run record is particularly important, and I don't think I've shown a lot of good performances so far, but I'm glad that I got a good hit these days." "As much as you look forward to it, I'll focus on the rest of the game and make it better." expressed his determination.
