"It's a card that I can't give you anymore."
The biggest change in the LG Twins lineup this season is Koo Bon-hyuk's growth. Koo Bon-hyuk, who returned from Sangmu last year and served as a backup like the main player, but showed a sharp drop in the second half after only glistening in the beginning, but on the contrary this season, he became more intense in the second half of the season, complementing the physical strength of the main players.
Koo Bon-hyuk, who played in 112 games this season, has a batting average of 286 (86 hits in 301 at-bats) with one home run, 34 RBIs and 37 points. Last year, he had a batting average of 257 (87 hits in 339 at-bats) with two homers, 43 RBIs and 48 runs scored in 133 games. Already, he approached the number of hits last year by one. We can also expect our first 100 hits since our debut.
Koo Bon-hyuk, who had a batting average of 238 (48 hits in 202 at-bats) until June, has been on the rise with a batting average of 38 hits in 99 at-bats since July.
In the match against Changwon NC on the 26th, Koo Bon-hyuk played as a seventh-third baseman, and although his team lost 7-9, Koo Bon-hyuk hit hard with four hits in five at-bats, and also played as a sixth-striker on the 27th…He helped his team win 10-1 with one hit and two points from three times at bat.

LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop also has strong trust in Koo Bon-hyuk. Regarding Koo Bon-hyuk's recent continued good batting, Yeom said, `Now his batting theory is established to some extent,' adding, `If it is established like this, he will be able to hit 270-280% steadily in the future"He did not hide his expectations for Koo Bon-hyuk.
Koo Bon-hyuk is a utility infielder who can play second, third and shortstop stably. In the past, it was evaluated that the defense was good, but the batting was weak, and in fact, it was only hitting a batting average of around 10%. Since going to Sangmu, it has grown rapidly, taking a step up as a backup infielder last year, and showed another growth this year.
Coach Yeom said, `I will continue to be a backup, but I will play more than 300 at-bats as I start about four games a week like my main player. Talking about Koo Bon-hyuk's need, saying, `That's how our infield works.'"Now it has become a card that other teams can't give even if they ask for it." In the future, (Oh) Ji-hwan could be the next shortstop."
