SSG Landers has a 'real' big shot prospect. Ryu Hyo-seung, an outfielder who joined in 2020 as a college graduate rookie and is already turning 30.
Ryu Hyo-seung, a graduate of Daegu Sangwon-Sungkyunkwan University, does not have many records of playing in the first team. Until last year, there were only 12 business trips. He also served in the army and spent most of his time in the 2nd Army.
He has a career slugging percentage of 0.531 in the Futures League, and again this year, he recorded a batting average of 322 with seven home runs and 28 RBIs in 37 Futures games. A batter who has already shown everything he can show in the second division. Coach Lee Sung-yong, who has a thirst for offensive power, began giving Ryu Hyo-seung a chance in mid-August.
Ryu Hyo-seung, who had four hits, including one homer, in three games immediately after the call-up, had his best day since his professional debut against the KIA Tigers in Incheon on the 26th. He started as a designated hitter and hit hard with three hits in four at-bats (two homers) with two RBIs and two runs scored.
Ryu Hyo-seung, who had a left-handed hit against KIA Yang Hyun-jong from his first at-bat, hit a come-from-behind solo home run in the fifth inning and a consecutive home run in the seventh inning. SSG, led by Ryu Hyo-seung's performance, won 9-5.
After the game, Ryu Hyo-seung said "You can get three strikeouts from the first time the coach came up, so take your swing. Don't get it right, just feel free to do it. I'm also trying to make my swing rather than produce results right away at bat."

However, he is certain about his strengths. It is a power that is emitted from a height of more than 1m90 and a solid body. Ryu Hyo-seung is the batter who easily crosses the 170km batting speed. The two home runs hit in the match against KIA were 170.3km and 169.3km, respectively. KT Wiz Ahn Hyun-min, a promising candidate for this year's Rookie of the Year award, comes to mind as a typical big gun type that can easily hit a home run even by pushing.
He is also a necessary player for SSG. As a batter-friendly stadium, Landers Field, which has a lot of home runs, is used, but in fact, SSG is gradually decreasing in size. Among the players who are currently playing as the main players, there is no type of hitting many home runs except Choi Jung and Han Yu-sum. The problem is that they are now in their late 30s, and there are few young promising players in the first and second groups.

Whenever Ryu Hyo-seung came up to the first team, he was greedy to do well, so I couldn't show you what I had prepared. Let's show something different this year. I should do something different Rather than these thoughts, I continue to control my mind while thinking about the process. If you keep doing it, you'll be lucky to get good results, so I think you need to keep that part"It's natural to work hard and do your best. My strength is that I hit a home run, so I will do my best so that my fans can call me a 'hitter who hits a home run' as well"I'm determined.
