At the end of the first half, LG Twins manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said "Our team's bat hasn't exploded yet." I think it will burst once in the second half of the year. At that time, it will be a chance for a rebound," he said, expressing faith in the sluggish lineup.

However, he lost four consecutive games at the start of the second half. The first three consecutive games against the No. 1 KIA Tigers were disastrous. Everything seemed to be lacking compared to KIA. In particular, he was helplessly silent and failed to chase at the time when the lineup had to explode, and he was swept away as he couldn't run away.

Kim Hyun-soo and Park Hae-min drew attention at the time. He showed a good pace in the early stages of the opening, but he's falling. In the end, they were sluggish together in a match against No. 1 KIA, which seemed to be the most important point at the start of the second half.

Kim Hyun-soo had no hits in eight at-bats for two days on the 9th and 10th, and Park Hae-min had no hits in 10 at-bats and one strikeout in three games. Kim Hyun-soo and Park Hae-min each had three chances to score, but they never saved them.

Kim Hyun-soo and Park Hae-min are veteran players who play the role of club house leader. It is natural that the team's atmosphere will be better only when they hit well. Younger players can also hit better by reducing the burden of seniors if they play well.

In the end, Yeom made a decision. Kim Hyun-soo was excluded from the starting lineup against KIA on the 11th. No. 3 Austin-No. 4 Moon Bo-kyung brought up a new lineup. He didn't come out as a pinch hitter with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning when he chased 2-4.

Kim Hyun-soo also stayed on the bench against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on the 12th, the next day. I took two days off the bench to make up my mind and reflect on the batting.

Park Hae-min, who had continued to play due to the importance of outfield defense even though his batting was sluggish, had an hour-long interview with manager Yeom on the 12th. Listening to various advice, he redefined his thoughts on his hit.

A game between KIA and LG at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 11th, and LG Oh Ji-hwan, who returned to the first team, is training batting. Jamsil= Reporter's wook@sportschosun.com/2024.07.11/
Oh Ji-hwan, who was injured, returned. He was called up against KIA on the 11th and started immediately, but had no hits and one walk in three at-bats.

After growing up in the dark age after joining LG, Oh Ji-hwan became the MVP of the Korean Series last year, standing tall as a franchise star representing LG. He became LG's highest-paid player with a total of 12.4 billion won in FA contracts.

The total value of Kim Hyun-soo, Oh Ji-hwan, and Park Hae-min is a whopping 29.9 billion won. Only when they can breathe can LG's batters burst like last year. He showed the ordinary fact in three consecutive games against Hanwha.

On the 12th, he lost 0-6 in a row of bad luck, but Oh Ji-hwan reported his first hit since returning, and Park Hae-min made two hits to announce his revival.

On the 13th, Kim Hyun-soo scored two hits and one walk in four at-bats, Oh Ji-hwan scored two hits and two RBIs in four at-bats, and Park Hae-min scored one RBI with a solo shot, taking the lead in the team's 7-3 victory.

They also performed well in the victory on the 14th. In the top of the first inning, with two outs and runners on the first and third bases, Oh Ji-hwan scored the first run with a hit to the right-center, and in the top of the seventh inning, trailing 1-2, Park Hae-min hit a hit and even stole to create a chance to tie the game. Kim Hyun-soo scored a come-from-behind RBI with a right-handed hit with one out and runners on first and second bases, which was tied 2-2. Oh Ji-hwan brought Kim Hyun-soo home with a right-handed hit with two outs and a second base lead of 4-2. In the top of the eighth inning, Kim Hyun-soo scored another RBI with a clean right-handed hit with two outs and runners on the first and third bases.

Kim Hyun-soo scored three hits, two RBIs and one run from five times at bat, Oh Ji-hwan also scored three hits and two RBIs from five times at bat, and Park Hae-min scored one hit and two points from two times at bat to secure an 8-4 victory. As they created chances and hit them on the chance, the batting line could be connected well.

In the three consecutive games against Hanwha, Kim Hyun-soo had five hits (0.556) and two RBIs in nine at-bats, Oh Ji-hwan had six hits (0.462) and four RBIs in 13 at-bats (0.571) and Park Hae-min had four hits (0.571) and three runs in nine at-bats.

With their performance, LG's batting lineup began to come to life. The five starters also work properly. Conditions are being created to revive the typhoon, which was briefly blown out at the end of May.
