Hanwha Liberato is a replacement for Floral, who left due to a finger injury. In six weeks, Floral will be back. Hanwha's worries grew. A six-week short-term part-time replacement is flying.
Esteban Floral, who started with Hanwha, played in 65 games this season with 70 hits and eight home runs and not bad performance of 271. He was in charge of Hanwha's central lineup until he was hit in the back of his hand by the pitch and was injured.
Luis Liberato, who joined Hanwha as a substitute for Floral, is 19 hits in 46 at-bats with one home run and a batting average of 413 in 11 games. The substitute player is playing a big role. On the 5th, he hit the final hit in the 9th inning against Kiwoom.
Hanwha has a substitute player for 'Bok-Bok-Bok-Bok-Bok-Bok'. It's already been two weeks since Liberato joined. Who will Hanwha choose in four weeks?
It is a happy concern for Hanwha, which has been struggling as a foreign hitter.
