Lotte Giants' Na Seung-yeop led the team to victory by hitting a long ball for the first time in a long time.

Na Seung-yeop started as the 8th-1st baseman in the home game against the NC Dinos at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 31st and recorded one hit, one walk, two RBIs and two runs in two at-bats.




In particular, one hit was a two-run double that became the winning hit.

In the bottom of the second inning, Na Seung-yeop, who entered the batter's box for the first time in the first and second bases with Yoo Kang-nam's walk and Han Tae-yang's hit, hit a double that separated the left-center by properly pushing NC starter Kim Nok-won's 146km outside fastball. Not only second baseman Yoo Kang-nam but also first baseman Han Tae-yang came home, making it 2-0. Lotte quickly replaced starter Kim Nok-won, and it became a meaningful double for Na Seung-yeop.

This is because it was the first long hit in a month since hitting a three-run home run against Changwon NC on June 26.




This season, Na Seung-yeop has been sluggish. Na Seung-yeop, who became the main first baseman last year with a batting average of 312 and 127 hits, seven home runs and 66 RBIs, had eight home runs this year, an increase from last year, but his accuracy was poor. He had a batting average of only 236 for the season. Until April, he had a good batting average of 289, but fell to 1905 in May, and is recovering at all with 20% in June and 1706 in July.

Coach Kim Tae-hyung was always worried about Na Seung-yeop's question. Recently, he has been unstable even in defense. Coach Kim expressed concern, saying, `Even the defense is not very confident.'

Na Seung-yeop hit in the fourth pitch with a ball count of 3B with two outs and runners on the first and second bases in the bottom of the fourth inning when he was trailing 0-2 in the game on the 30th, recording an RBI single in left-center. At that time, a hit sign came out. As Na Seung-yeop continued to be sluggish, the bench intended to force him to hit in the count with a high strike probability.




At that time, the ball was not hit properly. The missed ball became a hit, leading to an RBI.

For Na Seung-yeop, he will be able to have expectations for August by finishing July well with two consecutive hits, two consecutive RBIs and a long hit in a long time.

After the game, Na Seung-yeop said, `I've been preparing even when I don't play the game while playing extra-base hits every day. I think I'm catching them little by little"I haven't had a long shot in a long time, so I think I'm getting better a little bit now." He said he was satisfied.

Na Seung-yup said, `Honestly, I was a little embarrassed when I hit the heating sign in 3B the previous day"If it was a ball, I could have seen one even if the autograph came out, but yesterday, all I thought was to turn it around. But I think the result came out well" with a smile. The previous day's hit was not a regular hit, but when asked if the double was a good hit on the day, "I'm thinking positively because it's been a long time since I've had a good hit."

Due to poor batting, he often misses the starting lineup and starts from the bench. However, Na Seung-yeop said, `It's good to see a player who goes out and does well instead of me. I think the team is getting stronger by saying, `Because the team needs to do well.' I'll quickly upload it and show you a better side of me" showed a strong will. I want to repay the fans who support me despite the sluggishness. Na Seung-yeop said, `Even though the slump is getting longer, he always supports and inspires confidence. Thank you very much."
