This season is definitely an era of pitching and hitting. As of the 8th, there are only 11 hitters with a batting average of 300, due to various factors such as good foreign pitchers' rushing, faster speed of domestic pitchers, ABS, and official balls with less repulsion than before. This means that it is difficult to hit .300 this season, and it can be seen that the value of the .300 hitter increases.
However, Kim Hyun-soo of the LG Twins, who is challenging to hit .300 for the first time in five years, expressed skepticism about the .300 batting average. "Hasn't it lost the value of a .300 hitter?" he said honestly.
Kim Hyun-soo played as a third-designated hitter in the home game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil on the 8th and posted one hit and one RBI in four at-bats. Kim Hyun-soo, who grounded out in front of the second base in the first inning and in the third inning, hit a strong hit in the bottom of the fifth inning with one out and third base, but was caught on a line drive for second base, but he hit an RBI come-from-behind hit in the bottom of the seventh inning with one out and second base when the score was 3-3, leading his team to a 4-3 victory.
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. He is also ranked third after NC Park Min-woo (0.459) and LG Shin Min-jae (0.436).
Kim Hyun-soo, who has been batting in the late 200s for four years since he hit 331 in 2020, is trying to hit a .300 batting average for the first time in five years, but Kim Hyun-soo expressed skepticism about the .300, saying, `Isn't it not worth the .300 hitter?'
In the meantime, "I personally think that the baseball players have destroyed the value of (30%)"And "Since the other side is getting better.... I think science has developed that much, and in the end, I think it's because I go toward the game of winning by scoring points and blocking points."

In recent years, players are often evaluated based on other indicators such as WAR or OPS rather than batting average, which can be interpreted as meaning that the value of batting average seems to be lower.
Kim Hyun-soo continued, `I don't think 30% is important right now, and I'm thinking hard and practicing which way to add a little more to the team.'
I agree that it's hard for batters to hit. Kim Hyun-soo said "It's very difficult. "The pitchers' balls are good, ABS is difficult, and the ball is not flying, but I think they made us bad," he said with a smile. `I think the pitchers have been struggling a lot, so now the fielders should have a hard time. I think the players have to adapt because it's made like this. He showed a positive attitude.
