It's June, which is not even halfway through the season, but there is a title that is already being outlined.

They are the Rookie of the Year and the Hit King.

LG left-hander Song Seung-ki (23) is leading the race for the Rookie of the Year.




As of the 9th, he has 67 strikeouts in 12 games and 70 ⅓ innings, with 7 wins and 3 losses and a 2.30 ERA.

He is tied for fourth with multiple wins after Hanwha Fonce, LG Lim Chan-kyu and Lotte Park Se-woong, and third with an ERA after Fonce and SSG Anderson. No. 1 ERA for native starters.

It is certain to achieve 10 wins, the symbolic high point of becoming the Rookie of the Year. If he maintains his current pace, he can surpass 15 wins arithmetically.




KT outfielder Ahn Hyun-min (22) is considered to be the only player who will threaten Song Seung-ki amid the insignificant performance of pure rookies.

He has a batting average of 0.328 with 10 homers and 35 RBIs in 36 games. With a slugging percentage of 0.656 and an on-base percentage of 0.413, the OPS reaches 1.069. Until the end of the season, he will steadily fill the prescribed batting average with a batting average of around 300, and if he surpasses 20 home runs, an interesting two-way race for the Rookie of the Year will unfold. For now, a transmitter that is certain to surpass 10 wins is a little more advantageous.

Reyes is leading the king of hits.

He recorded 91 hits in 65 games and was on the verge of exceeding 100 hits. There is a gap of nearly 20 with Kiwoom Song Sung-moon (74 hits), LG Moon Bo-kyung (73 hits), and Samsung Diaz (72 hits). Arithmetically, if he plays full until the end of the season, he will have 202 hits, a new record for the most hits in the season set last year.




Two players who are likely to hold the title. It is even hotter in June, when summer enters.

Reyes is 15 for 27 (0.556) with two homers and seven RBIs in seven games in June. It has been on a multi-hit streak for six consecutive games since the game against Kiwoom on the 3rd, the second game in June. Three of them were three-hit games. No. 1 overall pitching with a WAR of 1.02. She is a candidate for the Shell Healics Player June Batter Award.
Song Seung-ki is also playing as a zero-man in two games in June. He has two wins, no losses and an ERA of 0.00 with three hits and no runs in 13 innings in two games. He ranks first among pitchers with a WAR of 0.74. She is a strong candidate for the Shell Healics Player June Pitcher Award.

Will Reyes and Song Seung-ki be able to get bloodless for the hit and rookie, respectively. The summer match, which began in June, has become important. First of all, we're off to a good start.
