LG Twins' Kim Hyun-soo hit a timely hit when he was absolutely necessary. He showed the true value of the third-place batting average (0.427) in scoring position.
Kim Hyun-soo started as the third-designated hitter in the home game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Stadium on the 8th and recorded one hit and one RBI in four at-bats.
Kim Hyun-soo, who struck out in the bottom of the first inning and grounded out in front of the second base in the bottom of the third inning, displayed another concentration when he had a chance to score.
After trailing 2-3 in the bottom of the fifth inning, he hit a line drive with an accurate hit with one out and third base, but unfortunately, he flew straight to the second baseman and was out. And in the bottom of the seventh inning, when the score was tied 3-3, he hit a clean hit from Kiwoom veteran pitcher Won Jong-hyun with one out and second base to bring in second baseman Choi Seung-min.
Kim Hyun-soo, who was driven by the unfavorable count of 2S with one out, was conscious of Choi Seung-min, the first runner on the third pitch, and rolled to the side after being hit by catcher Kim Gun-hee's mitts because the ball fell too far to the side, and Choi Seung-min settled to the second base to create a scoring chance, and Kim Hyun-soo did not miss the opportunity and connected a 146km fastball to the middle of the fourth pitch with a hit.
Thanks to this hit, LG won 4-3 and became the sole second place, beating Lotte, which lost to Doosan.
Kim Hyun-soo said of the come-from-behind hitting situation after the game, `I thought the flow came our way. I thought the fast runner would go out and the fast ball would come, and I think the wild pitch made a real pitch"

He has a batting average of .32 (87 hits in 288 at-bats) with seven homers and 57 RBIs in 85 games until the game on the 8th. He is one of 11 players with a batting average of 300 and is ranked 10th in batting average. He ranks fifth in RBIs, tied for 10th with the most hits, and fourth with an on-base percentage of 0.397.
Kim Hyun-soo, whose nickname was 'hit machine', always seemed to hit .300, but it was hard to see him hit .300 recently. In 2020, 331 percent was the last 30 percent. Kim Hyun-soo, who remained in the late-20s for four consecutive years, is aiming to reach the .300 mark again this year. The fact that he hits a batting average of 300 in a situation where his pitching and hitting are clear this season proves that he is doing well.
Kim Hyun-soo said, `Now it's going back to the way it was,' and added, `To tell you a little bit, I changed my practice method a little bit in 2022 and brought a different mechanism, but I changed everything in the beginning because I thought it would work out a little bit better, but as a result, I don't think it's right for me.'
Then "If it really goes well to the end, I think we can find out more about why it went wrong. If I go then, I will tell you what I really did wrong."
