LG Park Hae-min showed his presence two days in a row. One day with the referee and another day with pinch hitters.
The LG Twins won 4-1 in a match against the Hanwha Eagles in the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 21st. While starter Kim Yun-sik played a scoreless pitch, the batting line, which only scored 1 run in 12 innings the previous day, produced a different result in this game. Oh Ji-hwan and Park Hae-min, who were waiting on the bench, jointly added an extra point.
LG excluded starting shortstop Oh Ji-hwan and center fielder Park Hae-min from the starting lineup at the same time. Because it’s time for both players to rest. Park Hae-min started all of LG’s 39 games until the 20th and defended 344 innings, the most in the league. Oh Ji-hwan started all but his first two games after a side injury.
Coach Dan Yeom Gyeong-yeop drew a line saying that Park Hae-min’s argument with referee Kwon Young-chul in the game on the 20th had nothing to do with this decision. There are good reasons to believe that there is no correlation, just a context.
In fact, director Yeom Gyeong-yeop reviewed Park Hae-min’s break from the last weekday series. However, Park Hae-min had to keep running due to knee pain after another outfielder, Moon Seong-joo, collided with the umpire while running. After Moon Sung-joo returned to the starting lineup, Lee Jae-won (19th) and Austin Dean (20th) were omitted.
Even with Oh Ji-hwan and Park Hae-min missing, LG took a 1-0 lead until the 5th inning. Kim Hyun-soo’s double hit in the first inning with one company and first base. It was a long hit by Kim Hyun-soo, who came out in 14 games since the KIA game on the 29th of last month. However, it was seldom that additional points came out. In the 3rd inning, Hong Chang-ki’s double hit gave him a second base chance, but it ended up being scoreless.
Episode 6 was different. With Kim Hyun-soo and Austin Dean’s consecutive hits, an opportunity to secure first and second bases came. Moon Bo-kyung made a sacrifice bunt to make 1 out, 2nd and 3rd base. Park Dong-won struck out, but LG had a hidden weapon. Oh Ji-hwan came out as a pinch hitter in right-handed hitter prospect Lee Jae-won’s at-bat. Oh Ji-hwan walked out and got the bases full.
At bases full,토스카지노 a second pinch hit came out instead of Kim Min-seong. It was Park Hae-min. Park Hae-min called in two runners with an exquisite batting ball that exceeded the height of the shortstop. It was the moment when LG’s consecutive pinch hit led to victory. LG won 4-1 thanks to Moon Bo-kyung’s additional timely hit in the 7th inning and starter Kim Yun-shik’s six scoreless innings. Maintained the lead with 4 consecutive wins.
