LG eliminated infielders Oh Ji-hwan and Son Yong-joon from the first-team entry on the 9th, the day of rest. Two new players will be added to the first team in a home game against SSG Landers to be held in Jamsil on the 10th.
Oh Ji-hwan's absence is a shocking incident. The reason is the sluggishness given that he was not on the injured list.
Oh Ji-hwan played in 61 games this season and had a batting average of 2.18 (39 hits in 179 at-bats) with six home runs and 26 RBIs.
Oh Ji-hwan, who hit not bad with 276 percent until April
In May, he fell to 184. (14 hits in 76 at-bats) and came down to 63 (1 hit in 16 at-bats) in June, which was less than 10%.
Recently, he was excluded from the starting lineup. He started on the bench for four consecutive games against the Changwon NC Dinos on the 5th and played as a substitute in three games.
Manager Yeom said, `Since I was hit by a pitcher's ball in Busan before, my balance has been broken. I think I'll get better if I do basic skills trainingHe tried to increase Oh Ji-hwan's sense of hitting by increasing the training time. Nevertheless, as there were no positive signals, it seems that they eventually decided that sufficient training time was needed in the second division.
Shin Min-jae, who has been sluggish, is likely to do 7 hours of batting training a day in the second division.
Shin Min-jae also had a batting average of only 1991 (18 hits in 94 at-bats) when he went down to the second division on May 12. Shin Min-jae regained his batting by performing seven hours of batting training every day for five days in the remaining group, and when he returned to the first team, he hit 373 (19 hits in 51 at-bats) in 16 games and has recently been a top hitter.
Since Shin Min-jae worked, Oh Ji-hwan is likely to go through this process.
Koo Bon-hyuk, who has good defense, is expected to fill the shortstop position without Oh Ji-hwan. Since Koo Bon-hyuk recently played as a third baseman in place of Moon Bo-kyung, who only recently played as a designated hitter due to his poor knee, Moon Bo-kyung may return to the third baseman's position or Lee Young-bin or a right-handed infielder coming up from the second division may play.
