The LG Twins have made a bold decision. In a fierce competition with the second-ranked Hanwha Eagles by 1.5 games, Oh Ji-hwan, 35, the infield commander, has been excluded from the first division.

On the 9th, when there was no baseball game, the LG club announced the cancellation of infielders Oh Ji-hwan and Son Yong-joon's entry into the first division through the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO).

The move was expected to some extent. Oh hit .218 (39 hits in 179 at-bats) in 61 games, six homers, 26 RBIs, 23 runs and five steals, and his on-base percentage was 0.284 on-base plus slugging percentage was 0.374 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) 0.658.바카라사이트

His early days were not bad. He played as the starting shortstop with a batting average of 0.276 (24 hits in 87 at-bats) and three homers in 30 games through April, leading LG to become the top player. However, starting with a batting average of 0.184 (14 hits in 76 at-bats) in May, his batting average fell to 0.063 (1 hit in 16 at-bats) in June, which ultimately led to his being excluded from the starting lineup for the last four consecutive games.

According to LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop, his body balance was shaken after being hit by an ankle ball against the Lotte Giants in Busan on May 20. Coach Yeom said ahead of the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes match on the 6th, "After being hit, the stepping foot and center collapsed overall. "I think I'll be okay if I get the basics. I'm going to train a little bit," Oh said. "We are a team of hitting anyway. Oh Ji-hwan needs to revive to play baseball as much as we can. Oh said, "I will focus on training for the time being and try to wait behind rather than starting."

With the Futures League having a time to readjust for the time being, a reference example is Shin Min-jae (29), an infield partner who recently served in the second tier team. Shin was also removed from the roster on May 12 due to his poor batting performance with a batting average of 0.141 (11 hits in 78 times at bat) in 32 games from April. Even though he was not injured, he became a hot topic of conversation as he headed for the remaining teams, not the Futures League.

Back then, Yeom said, "Shin Min-jae did everything he could in the first division. Even so, he didn't feel the sense of hitting, so he decided that he should train rather than play. He seems to have forgotten something by himself. To find it again, he was given only five days of batting training: two hours in the morning, three hours in the afternoon, and one hour in the night. I had him practice timing for two hours while watching fastballs at night."

The result of playing extra-base hits for five hours every day to find a sense of hitting was great. Since returning to the first team on the 21st of last month, Shin Min-jae has been a great addition to LG's leading Mercury by recording a batting average of 0.373 (19 hits in 51 times at bat) and an OPS of 0.821. He also played leadoff against Kiwoom in Gocheok on the 8th, and led his team to victory by playing four times at bat with three hits, one RBI, and three runs.

After the victory on the 8th, Shin Min-jae said, "In Icheon, I trained for about five hours a day, repeatedly eating, playing, sleeping, and waking up. I usually do a lot of batting training, but I received a lot of help as I had time to reorganize," he stressed. "I'm always trying to maintain the same routine. I'm trying to get a feel for my swing little by little, and I think the feeling of my swing is more important than the result, so when I have a good feeling, it's leading to a better flow to play faster."

LG expects the same effect for Oh Ji-hwan. While waiting for the rebound, Lee Young-bin and Koo Bon-hyuk are expected to fill the vacancy. As Sohn Yong-joon, who used to be a backup to the third base, was eliminated from the first division, it is also expected that Moon Bo-kyung, the main third baseman who had only been a designated hitter due to minor injuries, will return to defense. Will Oh Ji-hwan be able to quickly come back to the first division and be a boost to LG.
