LG Twins Austin Dean is back.

Austin appeared with his teammates at Jamsil Stadium on the 5th when the home game against the Doosan Bears will be held.

At around 2:50 p.m., players such as Oh Ji-hwan and Shin Min-jae appeared on the ground for training. Austin also came out to the dugout on the third base with his bat and glove, moved to the dugout on the first base side, put it in place, and went into training. After playing catch, he received a pungo with Moon Bo-kyung at the first baseman's position in the entire defensive training. After that, he came out with the bat and worked on batting training normally. Considering that he trained batting with the main players, he is expected to start the day.




Austin started the game as the 3rd-1st baseman against the Lotte Giants in Busan on July 1st and recorded 3 hits and 2 RBIs in 4 at-bats, including a two-run home run, but he was examined the very next day for complaining of side pain. After receiving one in Busan, he went to Seoul the next day and received another one, but the result is that it takes about four weeks to return due to fine damage to the internal oblique muscles.

I started training early, but it took time until the actual game. It was confirmed that it was cured for sure. After hearing that he was okay at the hospital on July 23, he began batting training, and after receiving another examination on the 30th, he began live batting on the 1st after hearing that his side muscles were completely attached. And he played as a designated hitter in the Futures League game against SSG in Icheon on the 2nd and recorded one hit in four at-bats.

He was scheduled to play in the game on the 3rd and return to the first team on the 5th, but the game was canceled due to rain on the 3rd. He may play more games in the Futures League to improve his sense of play, but he will return to the first team as scheduled on the 5th because Austin's condition has no problem playing in the first team.




For LG, which has entered a fierce battle with Hanwha for the first place, Austin's joining is like 'Cheongunmanma'. High-ranking batters such as Shin Min-jae, Moon Sung-joo, Kim Hyun-soo, and Moon Bo-kyung are in good condition, and Park Dong-won, who is playing as No. 5, is sluggish. As Austin comes in, the central lineup will be stronger and Park Dong-won will also ease the burden of the central batter.

Austin had a batting average of 272 (72 hits in 265 at-bats) with 20 home runs, 55 RBIs, and 52 runs in 75 games before the injury, ranking second in homers, fourth in RBIs, fourth in runs scored, and third in slugging percentage (0.543). The home run is still tied for third place.
