The change in the order of defeat and defeat is meaningless, and the absence of the national shortstop looks especially big?

The change in batting order was meaningless. an all-out battle to escape a losing streak. But it ended helplessly.

SSG Landers have lost six in a row. SSG lost two games in an away series against the Samsung Lions at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 22nd and 23rd.

SSG, which has been suffering from an overall hitting slump throughout this season, has been struggling to escape consecutive losses due to recent night hits, some adjustments to entries, and changes in batting order. Jihoon Choi's batting order, which has been the first hitter 'leadoff', has been lowered to No. 6, has tried using Oh Tae-gon and Choi Jun-woo as the first hitter, and is trying to change by calling up Hyunwonhoe, who had a good batting sense in the second division. He was determined to break the losing streak somehow.




But 'Huh?' In the meantime, the losing streak increased to six. He has lost all four games since the start of the second half. Of course, it's not just because of the lineup. On the day when the batters burst, the starter and bullpen collapsed, and they suffered an unexpected upset.

Park Sung-han's vacancy is especially felt during the losing streak. Park Sung-han, the main shortstop, was excluded from the first-team entry shortly after the start of the second half of the 17th. A hospital examination showed that there was a slight damage to the right thigh's large retirement muscles. At the end of the first half, he showed his tenacity to play while enduring weak pain, but he decided that it would be better to recover the injured area and charge it to see further.

However, the shortstop, the key to offense and defense, is missing. It's all the more regrettable that Park Sung-han, who was sluggish at the beginning of the season, was reviving. Park Sung-han, who had a monthly batting average of 357 in June and a batting average of 385 in 26 at-bats before the All-Star break in July, is out, making the lineup feel even more loose. In particular, Park Sung-han has a batting average of only 260,000 for the season, but he is a batter who can also play 'eye baseball' with an on-base percentage of 0.384.

Coach Lee Sung-yong has been agonizing over his defensive position as a shortstop, but in fact, Park Sung-han is considered the most suitable type of batter for 'leadoff' within the team. If there were no injuries, coach Lee, who was scheduled to operate Park Sung-han's No. 1 card in earnest from the second half of the year, had his batting plan disrupted from the start due to the injury.

On top of that, defense is also making an unexpected hole. With Park Sung-han's departure, Ahn Sang-hyun is mainly playing as a starting shortstop, and Kim Chan-hyung and others are serving. Of course, they are good at infield defense, but they have been playing multiple positions all season, and as the proportion of participants has suddenly increased, mistakes are made one by one in defense.

In addition to Park Sung-han, Cho Hyung-woo's injury departure, which was expanding his presence in offense and defense as the main catcher, is also having a significant impact. The impact of the bottom batting order has definitely dropped.




It will not take long for Park Sung-han and Cho Hyung-woo to return, but SSG, which cannot find a breakthrough even in the appearance of 'one-two punch', is facing a clear crisis. The team's batting average in July is .230, overwhelmingly last among the 10 clubs, and the mound is also in the middle, so neither the pitching nor hitting seems to be strong.

After this week's away game against Samsung in Daegu, SSG will have to play three consecutive games against the Hanwha Eagles, the No. 1 team in Daejeon. How will we overcome this week's crisis.
