Is it the appearance of the second Ahn Hyun-min (KT). SSG Landers pulled out a secret weapon. Ryu Hyo-seung (29) caught the attention of fans by showing off his enormous batting speed.

Ryu Hyo-seung made a call-up against Incheon LG on the 16th and immediately hit his first hit of the season. On the 17th, his first home run of the season exploded. Ryu Hyo-seung's hit surprised officials. It was taken 183.2 kilometers. He is 1m 90cm tall and weighs 100kg, which is not unusual. Ahn Hyun-min's fastest batting this year is 186.7 kilometers.

Ryu Hyo-seung entered the batting speed league top 10 at once. He is ranked eighth this season. He is also at the top of the list even if he enters the Major League. In terms of 113.8 miles, it is ranked 50th. It is the same record as Major League Baseball superstar Bryce Harper (Philadelphia Phillies).




Ryu Hyo-seung had a long preparation period. Picked 60 times overall in the 6th round of the 2020 Rookie Draft. Until last year, he had only 15 at-bats in the first team. In this year's Futures League, he hit seven home runs with an on-base plus slugging percentage of 0.986 (OPS).

The SSG Futures team had the best power in the team enough to record a batting speed of over 170km and a distance of over 140m. He has the ability to produce strong hits in all directions, and he can push the outside ball to produce long balls to the right as well," he said, recommending Ryu Hyo-seung to the first team.

Ryu Hyo-seung clearly proved his potential in two games.




Ryu Hyo-seung said, `Pitching speed is my strength. If you somehow hit the center, you can get a good speed. I wasn't very nervous. I focused on the process rather than the result"I looked back.

Personally, there were more disappointing moments. Ryu Hyo-seung seems to have not been able to show even 30%. There were more pitches than I thought, but I was disappointed that I couldn't catch it and fouled it."

It's not the first time for the first team. In his debut season, he had nine at-bats, four at-bats in 2023, and two at-bats in 2024. So this opportunity is even more precious and desperate.




Ryu Hyo-seung once in a while in the first team. I was just going to do so well. I only thought of the result. I was just ahead of my greed. So I couldn't do what I had."

Thanks to this, I became more mature. Ryu Hyo-seung said "It was honestly not easy to get to the first team quickly. Now I'm trying to keep my routine as I always do. As I did in the Futures League, I'm going to the game with that thought because the at-bat is the same. I will spend this time well while doing my swing and working hard so that I don't have any regrets."
