Moon Sung-joo, a representative school hitter of the LG Twins, hit a home run for the first time in two years, and pushed it over the left fence of Jamsil Stadium.

Moon Sung-joo started as a second-right fielder in a home game against the Lotte Giants at Jamsil Stadium on the 20th and hit a home run in his first at-bat after one out in the bottom of the first inning when he was trailing 0-1. Moon Sung-joo, who played against Lee Min-seok, hit a 151.2km high fastball in the middle of the fifth pitch in the ball count of 2B2S and hit a solo shot over the left fence. As soon as he hit it, it flew to the left, but it seemed that it would not be a home run because Moon Sung-joo hit it. Lotte left fielder Reyes continued to run toward the fence, looking at the ball and eventually stopping in front of the fence to watch it go over.

Moon Sung-joo's home run is a rare record for the first time in two years since 2023. This is his 10th career home run. Moon Sung-joo, who hit one home run in 2021, hit six in 2022, but last year and this year did not have a taste of two in 2023.




His last home run was against Kim Tae-hoon in the top of the eighth inning against the Daegu Samsung Lions on August 6, 2023.

Of the nine previous homers he hit, only one hit in Jamsil. On May 5, 2022, he hit a superior solo shot against Yoon Myung-joon in the bottom of the eighth inning against Jamsil Doosan. It's been three years since his home run in Jamsil.

LG gave up one run in the top of the first inning when left fielder Park Kwan-woo ran forward and ran back to make a double on Reyes' left fly ball due to a mistake in the batting judgment, but then tagged out Reyes at home with right fielder Moon Sung-joo's home pitch when Yoon Dong-hee hit the right, preventing additional runs and quickly tied the score 1-1 with Moon Sung-joo's home run in the bottom of the first inning.
