KIA Tigers Kim Seok-hwan hit a chasing solo home run from opposing starter Alcantara in the bottom of the third inning when his team was losing 0-4 in the second game of the three consecutive games during the week against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 20th.
Kim Seok-hwan pulled Alcantara's fork ball, which came in with a ball count of 1B1S, without missing it and connected it to a home run over the right-center with a distance of 120 meters. If the ball had gone a little to the right, it would have hit the home run zone. Choi Hyung-woo hit the home run zone a day ago to receive 'EV4' electric car worth about 50 million won.
It's Alcantara, who pitched perfectly until the second inning, and Kim Seok-hwan didn't miss his real pitch in the middle. his second home run of the season.
Kim Seok-hwan was called up on the same day as his teammate Lee Chang-jin injured his left ankle while defending just before the end of the game the previous day. In the second division, he was wielding a .400 hit in the last 10 games, and Kim Seok-hwan was pointed out as a player to fill the void of Lee Chang-jin.
And immediately he started as No. 7 left fielder. KIA manager Lee Bum-ho played really well in the second division. I want him to show that as he is, but he rewarded Lee's faith with a home run from his first at-bat.
Manager Lee said, `When Ko Jong-wook came out as a pinch hitter, the probability was high, so Kim Seok-hwan started. I'm going to give Kim Seok-hwan a chance with Park Jung-woo and Kim Ho-ryeong."
Kim Seok-hwan is a promising left-handed hitter who has been watching since Lee was a second-tier coach.
