I was wondering if this was right... Man who blamed himself for hitting the final shot, why?

He washed away his slump for the first time in a long time and hit a winning home run. However, SSG Landers Ha Jae-hoon (35) had a smile and an upset look on his face.
He is the hero of the final hit against the Kiwoom Heroes in Incheon on the 13th. Two points fired twice on the day against Kiwoom Chung Hyun-woo and his 8th shot of the season became the final hit of the 3-1 victory.
This season, SSG has an overwhelming proportion of the mound. In the past, the nickname 'Home Run Factory' is overshadowed, and the team's batting average and team OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) are only 9th (245 and 0.677), respectively.
At least, veteran Noh Kyung-eun is composed of Kim Min-Iroon?Seung-jo and closing Cho Byung-hyun are reassuring. Recently, Jeon Young-joon and Park Si-hoo have also stood out as bridge players, Han Doo-sol as left-hander bullpen, and Choi Min-joon and Jeon Young-joon as replacement starters and longmen.
Ace Anderson has good pitching, but the inning is a bit disappointing, and White is often injured. Maintaining the health and skills of veteran Kim Kwang-hyun and Moon Seung-won is also key. Even so, the solid mound of the second-largest ERA (3.46, No. 1 Hanwha Eagles 3.45) stands out.
However, it is encouraging that the team's main hitters such as Eredia, Choi Jeong, Han Yu-seom, and Jihoon Choi have been reviving recently. It would be icing on the cake if Ha Jae-hoon, who has a shot, was revived.
Ha Jae-hoon played 1 hit (homer) in 3 at-bats and 1 walk and 2 RBIs, but has been sluggish with a batting average of 163 this season. During the match against the Lotte Giants in Busan on the 12th, SSG recorded hits for all starters except Ha Jae-hoon.
"It's been a long time since I hit the final, so I feel good," he said with a smile. When he entered the batter's box, he focused on getting on base rather than home runs. The result of emptying the mind led to a long shot. "Now I think I've got a little bit of a hit" was also quoted as saying.

"On the bench, I gave a 'wait for it' sign, but I misread it as a sign called 'wait for it'. 'Do you want me to hit you now? I thought it wasn't right, so I thought about it at the batter's box for a moment. I hit it in the end, but it was right to think about it a little more and endure it. I'm so sorry I didn't do that. It's my mistake."
Still, there was a lot of satisfaction with adding profits to the batting that was somewhat disappointing this season. Ha Jae-hoon "I think there are ups and downs every year. Every year I get hurt and it's weird, and I'm not good at it, but I do what I have to do every day. It's important to hold on somehow."
"It was very hard, but I tried to hit at least one. I went out early and played more, and I think I got the hang of it a little bit. I've been thinking that I can't, but I can't if I don't want to do it today."
Coach Lee Sung-yong, who has always emphasized 'a lot of practice' despite the season. The head coach's efforts, which have been preparing for the "summer counterattack" throughout the season, shine toward the end of the season.

"It feels like a man in his 40s who was fast in his old age fell down when he suddenly ran at his son's sports day. I remember doing well before, but I think I keep stuttering because I've been injured and I've been pitching and going back a lot. I'm glad it's getting back, though."
Ha Jae-hoon said, `First of all, I want to go to fall baseball and I really want to win. Don't try too hard. I'll do my best with the same heart"I vowed.
