?Director Lee Bum-ho's loud voice resonated louder than the sound of music from the speakers in the hall. KIA Tigers manager Lee Bum-ho grabbed Kim Seok-hwan and wrestled throughout the training session.
Kim Seok-hwan, who showed good performance throughout June, faltered in the match against SSG during the week. Kim Seok-hwan played in 13 games during the month of June and recorded nine hits in 31 at-bats (one home run) with 10 RBIs and a batting average of 0.290 .
In particular, he came out as a pinch hitter in the match against Incheon SSG on the 22nd, when he returned after taking a 10-day rest due to injury, and hit a come-from-behind two-run shot in the match against LG in Jamsil on the 28th and 29th, recording two triples.

However, the good trend was cut off in three consecutive home games during the week against SSG. Kim Seok-hwan continued his momentum by hitting Choi Hyung-woo's at-bat in the sixth inning of the game on the 2nd, and started as the sixth batter in right field in the game on the 3rd.
However, he couldn't timing SSG starter Moon Seung-won's ball at all. In the first at-bat of the first inning, he struck out standing on four fastballs, looked at a 145km fastball in the second at-bat of the fourth inning, and in the sixth inning, he struck out swinging on a 129km changeup.
There is always something that head coach Lee Bum-ho emphasizes when guiding batting. 'You have to control your instinct to move your arms first and use your body first.
Coach Lee Bum-ho, who intensively coached Kim Seok-hwan ahead of the Lotte match on the 4th, reiterated, "(After moving the center to the front foot, we need to set the timing while fixing the axis from head to pelvis, and turn the pelvis and shoulders, not arms, so that the trajectory of the bat comes out without shaking." (See the video).

Recently, left fielder Ko Jong-wook and center fielder Kim Ho-ryeong have shown tremendous performances. Director Lee said, `I really want to use Kim Seok-hwan, but I'm thinking about who else to use it with.'
KIA, which had been moaning with injuries, has already risen to second place alone. This is thanks to the explosion of second-tier players who were sweating in Hampyeong. Let's see if Kim Seok-hwan can give director Lee Bum-ho another 'Happy Worries'.
