Kim Tae-yeon (28, Hanwha Eagles) had a batting average of .40 (six hits in 15 at-bats) and one home run in this year's exhibition game. Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon, who agonized over the leadoff position during the off-season, gave Kim Tae-yeon a chance.
It was a good start. He continued his feelings by hitting three hits in the opening two games. However, since then, as bad luck overlapped, the sense of hitting began to fall together.
To make matters worse, injuries continued. On April 20, he was hit with the right index finger by a ball while trying to bunt against NC in Daejeon. In the match against Kiwoom in Gocheok on May 11, he also hit a ball on his left wrist.
He was not in a normal physical condition, and his batting balance was also broken. In the meantime, Lee Jin-young, Moon Hyun-bin, and Lee Won-seok took the opportunity, and Kim Tae-yeon was more often excluded from the starting lineup.
Recently, Kim Tae-yeon has once again raised his batting sense. He hit .422 (eight hits in 45 at-bats) with two home runs in 13 games in July. He completely erased his batting average of only .100 in May and June.
It's not just the result of waiting. The sweat dripping in secret has come to fruition.
Kim Tae-yeon made changes in the formality and timing. It was so bad in the first half of the year that I thought I should make a change"It may be a difference in feeling that you don't know even if you see it, but you've changed that part."
As good as it was at the beginning of the season, it was hard to choose a change. Kim Tae-yeon was also deeply troubled. Kim Tae-yeon said, `I did well in the beginning, but my performance was so bad that I couldn't see a way to overcome it. I wanted to change something"I think it was from the end of June to the beginning of July" he said.

As for the dune aftermath "The nail was lifted from the inside and remained only at the end. I felt uncomfortable```.
Coach Kim also knew Kim Tae-yeon's efforts. Director Kim said, `It's time to play well. I think the next 40 games are more important than the past 90 games"I cheered for his future performance.
On the 30th, Kim Tae-yeon caught not only a home run but also a runner who was aiming for third base with an accurate throw from the left field position. On defense, he said "I tried to concentrate because Ponce was throwing, so I thought I should stop him with the least number of runs."
Amid Kim Tae-yeon's upward atmosphere, Hanwha escaped its third consecutive loss by winning 5-0 against Samsung on the 30th. At the same time, he firmly held the lead position.
A fierce second-half ranking battle is on the horizon. Kim Tae-yeon said, `We have to keep winning every game. Rather than paying attention to other teams, we try to win by doing what we have to do."
