The mound is getting thicker and has the strength to hold on, but he can't score points. The biggest problem is that the three home run hitters who led the LG Twins' batting are cooling down in June.

The center of LG this season is Austin Dean, Moon Bo-kyung and Park Dong-won. Austin has a batting average of 284 (67 hits in 236 at-bats) with 19 home runs and 52 RBIs, while Moon Bo-kyung has a batting average of 295 (74 hits in 251) with 13 home runs and 53 RBIs, and Park Dong-won has a batting average of 282 (58 hits in 206 at-bats) with 13 home runs and 40 RBIs.

Austin is ranked second in the home run ranking, Moon Bo-kyung and Park Dong-won are tied for fourth, Moon Bo-kyung is third in the RBI ranking, and Austin is fourth.




However, in June, their hits are going downhill. Austin is batting .231 (12 hits in 52 times at bat) with three home runs and 10 RBIs, Moon Bo-kyung is 2.16 (11 hits in 51 times at bat) with one home run and 11 RBIs, and Park Dong-won is .143 (5 hits in 35 times at bat) with six RBIs.

In the case of Moon Bo-kyung, he had not been able to hit since the match against Kiwoom on the 8th, but only hit again against NC on the 19th. It was a hit that he tasted for the first time in 35 at-bats.

Austin hasn't been good lately either. There has been no hit in five games since hitting two hits against Jamsil SSG on the 12th. He is 0 for 13 from 17 at-bats.




Park Dong-won has not been very good throughout June. He had no hit in three consecutive games during the week against NC.

LG's bullpen has become quite solid as Yoo Young-chan and Jang Hyun-sik, who were out due to injuries, returned and Lee Jung-yong was discharged from Sangmu. Ham Deok-ju is also scheduled to return to the first division next week, so he will be strong enough to fill the bullpen with only a must-win group. Even if the starter collapsed early, he had the power to quickly deploy the bullpen to lead the game.

However, no matter how well pitchers block, it is baseball that batters have to score to win. If batters' hits fall, the winning rate will inevitably decrease.




LG ranked seventh overall with six wins, one draw and eight losses in June. In particular, the last five games have fallen to one win, one draw, and three losses, giving up the top spot to Hanwha. At this time, the three center hitters had a batting average of only 47 with two hits in 43 at-bats, and six RBIs without a home run.

LG's total score in June's 15 games remains seventh overall with 70 points. He has a fifth-place ERA, but his batting has fallen too far.

Shin Min-jae, who is doing well in the top hitter, and Kim Hyun-soo, who is hitting a revival, are showing good performance, but there are many signs that the game is not going well as the center has not solved it.

In the end, in order for LG to hit again, the lineup must revive and the central batters need to rebound.
