"I play better than anyone else in August, but I lose if I use it badly."
LG Twins' Koo Bon-hyuk started in left field for the first time since his debut. Koo Bon-hyuk, who has been an all-weather infielder as a second baseman, third baseman and shortstop, started as the eighth-left fielder in an away game against KT Wiz in Suwon on the 16th.
Koo Bon-hyuk went to left field in the top of the ninth inning against KIA in Jamsil on the 14th and defended for the first time in the outfield. Unfortunately, however, KIA's three batters were out with a fly to center field and two strikeouts, and the ball never went to Koo Bon-hyuk's side.
Until now, Koo Bon-hyuk has been active as the No. 1 backup infielder who enters the position and plays whenever the main player is excluded as an infielder except for the first baseman.
In 121 games this season, he has a batting average of 285 (90 hits in 316) with one home run and 35 RBIs. He is set to make his first 100 hits since his debut, surpassing the season's most 87 hits recorded last year.
The batting has improved since the middle of the season. He hit .40 (16 hits in 40 at-bats) in July and .348 (23 hits in 66 at-bats) in August. In September, he continued his good batting performance of 3705 (3 hits in 8 at-bats) in five games. Since July, his batting average has reached 368 (42 hits in 114 times at bat). This is the number one main player in the team.

Recently, however, it has become difficult to make Koo Bon-hyuk as Kim Hyun-soo has failed to defend and only became the designated hitter. Chun Sung-ho and Choi Won-young were the main starters, and Kim Hyun-jong played in the left field against KIA on the 14th, as the infielder had to rest as the designated hitter to give Koo a chance.
However, their offense was disappointing, and in the end, head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop decided to let Koo Bon-hyuk play in left field.
Coach Yeom said in the game on the 16th, `It's a waste when Koo Bon-hyuk plays the infield and the outfield together to expand the overall range of use so you can get a lot of opportunities and it's good for the team.' It's a huge loss for the team that they're doing better than anyone else in August, but they're not using it well.'
"Bonhyuk made me practice outfield since July."Coach Yeom said "Because he catches flyballs well, he has a sense of being able to do well in the outfield." There is a wide range of catching fly balls. Capture the drop point to some extent and run before catching the ball without looking at it. He's outstanding,' he said highly appreciated Koo's potential as an outfielder. If Koo Bon-hyuk shows good defense in the outfield, he will now rapidly emerge as the No. 1 fielder at home and abroad.
