446…AG Guk University's third baseman, who competes with the home run king, has a hot hitting secret
His batting average is .446 in September. He has a batting average of .462 in the last 10 games and six RBIs. The main character is third baseman Moon Bo-kyung (23).
In 123 games this season, Moon Bo-kyung has a batting average of .366, eight home runs, 67 RBIs and a .445 on-base hit rate of .382 OPS.827. Moon Bo-kyung, who debuted in the first division in 2021, has a batting average of .300 (.315) in 126 games last year, showing a batting average of .300 for the second consecutive year.
The batting has been very hot lately. In particular, he has had three hits in three consecutive games. In all three games, the opponent was SSG. It was a hit made for 16 and 17 days. On the 17th, it was a doubleheader, and Moon Bo-kyung played both games a day and hit tirelessly. He made six hits a day.
Moon Bo-kyung led his team to a 10-4 victory on the 16th with three hits in four at-bats (two doubles) with one RBI and two runs. In the first round of the doubleheader against SSG at 2 p.m. on the 17th, he played three hits in four at-bats, one RBI and one stolen base. LG came from behind to win 8-3.
After the first game, Moon Bo-kyung said, "I thought the opponent's record was bad (against SSG starter Kim Kwang-hyun), so I tried to play more carefully, and I really wanted to play." "I recently entered the batter's box confidently because I don't think my batting is bad."
He had his own secret to maintaining good batting recently. Moon Bo-kyung said, "I recently changed the point of letting go of my hand when hitting, but I think it's okay because it doesn't take much strength. I've been doing it since practice, and I think it's good."
It wasn't a coincidence. Moon Bo-kyung then contributed to his team's 9-5 victory with three hits in five at-bats (two doubles) and one RBI in the second round of the doubleheader against SSG.
Moon Bo-kyung said, "I'm happy to help the team win consecutive games," adding, "It was a little difficult physically because it was two games a day, but I tried to concentrate until the end and go to the plate." There was a throwing miss in the first game, so the defense tried not to lose concentration, he said.
He then said, "The opponent starter McCarty's fastball and breaking ball were both good, but I think I was a little bit more lucky today. He added, "I wasn't conscious of long balls, but the good batting course seems to have led to long balls." Is it because he has a good sense of hitting.
What is clear is that there is a sense of how to make a hit. Moon Bo-kyung, who is set to convene the Hangzhou Asian Games national team on the 23rd, is helping LG win the regular season with a fierce blow before leaving the team.
Meanwhile, LG will clash with KIA Tigers in Gwangju on the 19th. KIA has been losing five games in a row recently, but Yang Hyun-jong will take the mound. Attention is focusing on whether Moon Bo-kyung will be able to continue his good batting performance in the away game in Gwangju.
