Samsung Lions outfielder Lee Seong-gyu is the best hit product in the exhibition game.
It is driving the biggest topic along with Samsung’s 6 consecutive victories. Because the change is so big and dramatic.
As of the 24th, Lee Seong-gyu is flying with a batting average of .
In the match against Kiwoom held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 24th, he stood at the vanguard of a 4-3 come-from-behind victory and 6 consecutive wins with 2 hits, 1 home run, 3 RBIs and 1 run in 3 at-bats.
In the 7th inning, which was trailing 1-3, Kiwoom reliever Lee Seung-ho’s first pitch, 139km fastball, was pulled over the left wall like a thunderbolt.
The 4th home run in the demonstration game became the come-from-behind final blow. With Lee Seong-gyu’s one shot, Samsung took the lead alone.
He has such a hot face that he jokes, “It would be nice if it was a regular season.”
It’s never a flashy activity. The main center fielder in the regular season, he is almost in the solidifying stage.
What made Lee Seong-gyu completely change?
In the meantime, Lee Seong-gyu was the so-called ‘2nd group Bones’. Since joining in 2016, he has shot up a batting average (0.342 → 0.404 → 0.366 → 0.400 → 0.344) and a home run for five consecutive years. In 2018, when he was in the National Police Agency, he became the Futures League home run king with 31 homers.
He has the image of a ‘ganggalpo’, but in reality he is not a hitter with poor contact skills. He wouldn’t be able to hit that high in the second team if he didn’t have the ability to make contact.
However, when only one group came up, my heart was in a hurry.
Because he suddenly had to go out late in the game and show it. As he stood at bat with anxiety, he could not stand the manned ball outside after two strikes. Last year, he went 2-for-27 in 13 games, only 7.4. He had no home runs at all.
The season he should have shown has passed in despair. He was already past thirty. I had to break the vicious cycle of nervousness.
This exhibition game, which he faced after going through hell training, was a turning point.
Positive memories are being built up through his repeated successes. This leads to his self-confidence. He is the reason the bat comes out easily from the first pitch.
In an interview in Daegu, Lee Seong-gyu said, “I think my swing rate has decreased a lot since I decided on my own course and zone.” said.
Lee Seong-gyu was originally a player with outstanding athletic ability. This is the reason why he is successfully transforming into the outfield with his instinctive batting judgment and quick response, even though he does not have much experience in the outfield.
If he’s psychologically stable, he already has excellent athleticism enough to withstand the lure of an opponent’s battery.
His failures so far have only been a matter of psychology. This is why the exhibition game, which is erasing anxiety through the repetition of his success, is meaningful.
The upcoming regular season is in the same context. The opposing team’s main pitchers are already throwing in the demonstration game.토토사이트 Since it is a regular season, if you do not be conscious of it and treat it like an exhibition game, you can spend a season like an exhibition game. This season you will receive a steady chance. There is a very high possibility that it will explode properly in a sense of psychological stability.
