Yang Seok-hwan, sent by LG, meets again.

[엑스포츠뉴스 잠실, 김현세 기자] The LG Twins brought Chae Ji-sun and Ham Deok-ju from Doosan Bears before the opening. The price was Yang Seok-hwan and Nam-ho. We read Doosan’s demand for a hitting first baseman.

Yang Seok-hwan recorded a career high with a batting average of 0.263 (127 hits in 483 at-bats) and 82 RBIs in 140 games in the 2018 season. After that, he went to military service and was ranked first in the 2019 Futures League Southern League home runs and RBIs, and was expected to join the team after the campaign last season and help improve offensive power. However, according to the circumstances of the team in this regular season, the clubhouse on the other side of Jamsil will be used. Coach Ryu Ji-hyun said, “I’m a player like my child,” and he hoped that “I wish I could do well as an LG national in any team.”

Doosan had higher expectations of Yang Seok-hwan’s attack power. As a first baseman, he has seen corner infielders, so he was evaluated as a “100% trusted first baseman” not only by coach Kim Tae-hyung, but also fellow infielders such as Heo Kyung-min and Kang Seung-ho, but in fact, the expectation of hitting was higher. However, during the first three games of the season, it was only 11 at-bats and one hit, which raised concerns, but coach Kim said,’I haven’t played a few games anymore.’

Doosan focused on making use of the strengths of Yang Seok-hwan. Director Kim instructed, “Take a bad fight rather than react too much to Yoo In-gu, but hit it according to the routine you’ve been doing so far.” Yang Suk-hwan made a sense of hitting by hitting four consecutive games after that. The burning feeling of hitting burned hotter from the match with Jamsil LG on the 16th. He hit 4 hits in 8 at-bats during 2 games on the 16th and 17th. In the game on the 17th, he hit three hits and two RBIs, bringing victory. In the demonstration game with LG, it was only 4 at-bats without hits, but it changed 180 degrees.

Yang Seok-hwan swung a fire bat until the last game of the 3rd row on the weekend. At the beginning of the second inning, he hit a single RBI from LG starting pitcher Lee Min-ho at the second base and scored a right hit, and in the early 6th inning, when there was no runner, he hit a heavy hit to complete a multi-hit. During the 3rd straight match, he recorded 6 hits in 13 at-bats against LG (0.462 batting average), 3 RBIs and 1 stolen base. For Doosan, where injured players have been appearing since the beginning of the season, the corner and center hitters are enduring.
