LG Twins Kim Hyun-soo suddenly fell into a slump in May. Kim Hyun-soo, who hit hard with a batting average of 40% until April, has a batting average of ‘8’ in May.
Kim Hyun-soo was silent in the game against Kiwoom in Jamsil on the 11th with no hits in 4 at-bats. He turned powerlessly from an early RBI opportunity. He was out on a grounder to shortstop in a scoring opportunity with one out and second base in the first inning. In the 3rd inning, 1 company, 1st, 2nd base chance, he withdrew with a floating ball in right field.
In the 5th inning, after 2 outs, he struck out with no runners. Kim Hyun-soo, who failed to hit in all three at-bats against Kiwoom starter Jeong Chan-heon, was out with a fly ball in right field against left-hander Kim Jae-woong in the 8th inning.
It is a no-hitter in the last 23 at-bats. Kim Hyun-soo struck out in both at-bats after hitting 5 hits in the NC game on the 2nd. After that, he went hitless in 21 at-bats in five games.
Kim Hyun-soo had 32 hits in 80 at-bats and a batting average of 40% in April. He, who was the No. 1 batting average, dropped to 2 hits in 25 at-bats and a batting average of 8 pennies in the 6 games he played in May. It’s a sudden slump. His batting average for the season went down to 3 2 4 Lee.
During a season, no matter how good a hitter is, there will always be ups and downs and slumps. However, Kim Hyun-soo’s results are suddenly and rapidly downhill at bat. A well-hit ball may go straight to the fielder, but 22 consecutive at-bats without a hit is too long of a silence. Even when the LG batting line recorded 12 hits and 11 points against Doosan on the 7th, Kim Hyun-soo had no hits in 3 at-bats.토토사이트
In early May, I asked coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop about the secret of Kim Hyun-soo hitting 40% well. Are you receiving help physically while traveling as a designated hitter?
Director Yeom said, “I made a wall” when batting. At that time, there were a lot of left-handed hits. However, in recent years, hits from the right side have been the majority. If the body goes out early, he can’t hit left. (You have to make a wall and stay there) You can hit to the left. As the right wall collapsed, the average fell.”
The opposing team facing Kim Hyun-soo shifted defense by putting one more infielder between 1st and 2nd base, and most of the balls went to the right, lowering the batting average. Kim Hyun-soo recorded 208 pennies in 2021 and 2022.
Director Yeom said, “If you make a wall and the center remains, you can make a ground ball hit to the left. He is returning to the old Kim Hyun-soo as his direction improves as he hits center. If you look at his hit rate this year, he has a lot of left-handed hits,” he said.
LG has scored 1-1 in the last 2 games. Most of the attack indicators, such as the team’s batting average, are first, but Kim Hyun-soo’s sluggishness in the recent batting line stands out.
