Is there only Song Seong-moon? I stand out from Lim Ji-yeol.

The top teams are shaking due to the red pepper powder from the Kiwoom Heroes. 'All-time' ranking competition is in full swing, and if you are caught by the lowest team, you will return to a shock of more than one loss.

In fact, they booked the last place, but Kiwoom players didn't give up the season either. I play with the determination to win no matter what. He wants to win at least one more game and finish Yoo Jong. Only then will we have hope for next season.




One of the reasons why the opponent cannot see Kiwoom as a pushover is Song Sung-moon. It was extremely sluggish after the opening, but it gradually raised its senses and now everyone recognizes it as the best hitter in the league. If Song Sung-moon bursts, Kiwoom's chances of winning increase.He won a six-year non-FA multi-year contract with Kiwoom worth a total of 12 billion won, and is also aiming to advance to the U.S. Major League with the contract as 'insurance'.

However, baseball is not an event that can be won just because one player is good at it. We need support from other players. That's why Lim Ji-yeol is the player that stands out recently.

Lim Ji-yeol started as the 2nd-1st baseman against the Samsung Lions on the 5th and recorded multiple hits, including a first solo shot in the first inning. The team lost and faded, and Lim Ji-yeol's recent attack has risen.If limited to the last five games, he is 9 hits in 22 at-bats for a batting average of 409. He had one home run and eight RBIs. In Samsung's two consecutive games, he recorded one stolen base each. The defense goes back and forth between the outfield and the first base due to team circumstances. Although he recorded an error in the second inning against Samsung on the 5th, both defense and defense are okay.




Kiwoom's dismal season, which has certainly failed to make anyone a main player, is still income if it is income that has discovered Lim Ji-yeol. Since joining the club in 2014, he has been recognized for his bat potential, but he has never played full-time. The most played was 72 games in the 2023 season. However, this year, anyone in the two foreign hitters' cards 'Disappointment' could have a chance to play a role in hitting, and the beneficiary was Lim Ji-yeol. He began playing as the main player in earnest in June, and settled down as a table setter with Song Sung-moon with a winning home run and a finishing hit that left a strong impression.

Of course, there were ups and downs. In particular, he was terribly sluggish with a monthly batting average of .26 in August, which was hot. The ups and downs of the first full-time player can only be seen. However, he began to revive in late August and his bat is getting hot again in September.

He has set a double-digit home run record for the first time this year, and has 13 stolen bases, making it double-digit. With this experience, considering the power and speed, if you play the season from the beginning next year, you will be able to join the 20-home run-20 steal club. Of course, the priority is to appeal more consistently and establish itself as a really clear main player.
