As of the 6th, there are a total of nine KBO league players with a batting average of over 300. Samsung Lions outfielder Kim Sung-yoon posted 0.358 to stay in first place. However, Kim Sung-yoon injured his right hamstring on the 31st of last month and his first-team registration was canceled. You must focus on recovery and rehabilitation for more than two weeks before you can return. It is regrettable that he left at a time when the hitting sense is approaching its peak. He went 10 for 19 in five games just before his injury. If the gap is prolonged, it will inevitably fall out of the rankings due to the lack of regular at-bats.

Lotte Giants Victor Reyes and KIA Tigers Choi Hyung-woo are second to third behind Kim Sung-yoon. Reyes has a record of 0.336, and Choi Hyung-woo has a record of 0.335. Park Dong-won of the LG Twins, who marked 0.303, is at the bottom of the list of .300 hitters. There are three LG players, including Moon Bo-kyung (0.330), Austin Dean (0.307), and Park Dong-won. On the other hand, SSG Landers, Kiwoom Heroes, and NC Dinos do not have .300 batters.

Compared to the previous time when hitters dominated, 'Tagotuser' has eased. Last season, 24 players were listed as .300 hitters. Thirteen in 2022 and 14 in 2023 hit 30%.




The Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) will continue 'GoTaser' this year. Nine of the 12 teams in Central and Pacific leagues maintain a two-point ERA. The Hanshin Tigers, which ranks first in the Central League, look at the one-point range. As of the 6th, the record is 2.09.

Most teams have a team batting average of .23-40. Orix Buffaloes, who shot 0.264, is No. 1 overall. The Chiba Lotte Marines are struggling with a batting average of 0.211 and the Chunichi Dragons 0.217. Yakult Swallows has scored two or fewer points in the last 14 consecutive games. It's a new Japanese record. Lotte ranks first in the KBO League. It's 0.286.

In the end, '300' has disappeared. As of the 6th, there are no .300 batters in the Central League. Yomiuri Giants Yuta Izuguchi is at the top of the batting standings with 0.298. There are only four batters in the 299s. Takumu Nakano of the Hanshin Tigers hit 0.296, Sandro Fabien of Hiroshima hit 0.294, and Yuki Junichi Okabayashi hit 0.293.




The Pacific League is also not much different. There are only two batters who are .300. Orix's typo is 0.324, Rakuten Eagles Murabayashi Itsuki is 0.306.

They are not the players who stood out until last year. Ohta, who is in his seventh year as a member of the team, has no season that has met the regulatory batting average. Murabayashi played full time for the first time last year, when he was in his ninth year of joining the team. He posted a batting average of 0.241 in 139 games. Run side by side for the `Career High' this season.

Both players have been slowing down recently. Ota, who injured his wrist in a dune, was shut down for nearly three weeks. He disappeared from the first team after the game against the Seibu Lions on the 18th of last month. Murabayashi has only one hit in 16 at-bats in the past four games.




Last year, a total of three people exceeded 30%. Two from the Central League and one from the Pacific League came out. Tyler Austin of the Yokohama BayStars ranked first with 0.316, and Gondo Genske of Softbank ranked first with 0.314.

NPB is currently engaged in interleague and exchange matches. The total score from the six games between the two leagues held on the 6th is '21 points'. Not a team, but an average of less than four points per game. Three of the six games ended 3 to 2. In the other three games, the pitcher also beat the batter.

The Kohamas beat Nippon Ham 2-1. Softbank left-hander Livan Moinello struck out 18 in the eighth inning against Yakult. Every year, high-quality prospects come in and grow into top pitchers. He has long been noted for his outstanding control and sharp breaking balls, and he joined the ranks of the arrest revolution. Fastball pitchers who throw fastballs up to 150 kilometers per hour have become common.
