Son Ah-seop scored on a Liberato double in the second inning.
"There are good seniors...."

Hanwha Eagles acquired Son Ah-seop in a trade on the 31st of last month.

Son Ah-seop is the best hitter in the KBO League. He ranks first in the KBO league with 2,588 hits by the 13th, and ranks second among active players with a career batting average of 320. He is about 32 hits ahead of second-place Choi Hyung-woo (KIA, 2,556).




Son Ah-seop started as the first hitter and designated hitter on the 13th and scored three RBIs, making sure to strengthen Hanwha's offense. In particular, he has consistently produced on-base hits in all of the last five games.

In the game on the 13th, he hit a double to left field with runners on the first and third bases in the second inning, and in the sixth inning, he focused on bringing the third baseman home with a ground ball to the second base.

It is not just a hit, but a situation in which the hit is being made. Even after the game on the 13th, Son Ah-seop thought it was more important to score points because the first base was empty rather than walking. I thought that if I score a point, it would be a wedge, so I went to the batter's box. Baseball is a sport that must be won after all. Sometimes ground balls rather than hits or walks help the team win. So I try to think about that a lot."

Coach Kim also gave a high score to Son Ah-seop's attitude, which takes a hit in each situation. Manager Kim might have hit 2,500 other hits. The batters are (Son) Ah-seop and the pitcher (Ryu) Hyun-jin are good seniors. The senior needs to see and learn how to hit 2500 hits. These days, YouTube is well established, but rather than that, you have to learn how to make and learn mentors at the ballpark.

Meanwhile, Hanwha won against Lotte starter Vince Velazquez, who made his KBO League debut the previous day, by scoring five runs in the second inning. Manager Kim said "He was an unfamiliar pitcher, but he got a big score of five points in one chance. Five points gave me a lot of strength."

On this day, Hanwha organized the starting lineup in the order of Son A-seop (designated hitter), Luis Liberato (center fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (left fielder), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-sung (first baseman), Lee Jin-young (right fielder), Ahn Chi-hong (second baseman), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Shim Woo-jun (striker). Hanwha starter Ryu Hyun-jin and Lotte starter Na Kyun-an will come out.
