Jamsil Doosan-Hanwha on the 24th. Hanwha won 7-6 after a close game that lasted until the 10th inning.
After the game, Hanwha manager Kim Kyung-moon said, “Is the third hitter okay?” and patted Jang’s head after seeing Jang Jin-hyuk (31). This was his first appearance as the third batter of the season. Jang finished the game with no hit in five at-bats and one run. However, he came out as the leadoff hitter in the 10th inning and hit a hard hit towards the first baseman, and Doosan first baseman Yang Seok-hwan missed it, allowing him to step all the way to second base. The record was a mistake, but the batting speed and direction were good enough to allow a double. Jang scored on a hit by a follow-up hitter, and the game ended the day.스포츠토토
The process was good, but the result was “no hit.” Jang said, “It was a chance, but it’s too bad.”
Jang Jin-hyuk relieved Hanwha of one of its concerns this season. Definite outfielder. Especially, concerns about the position of center fielder continued from the beginning of the season. Various players, including Im Jong-chan, Jung Eun-won, Kim Kang-min, Lee Won-seok, and Euro Gyeol, maintained the center line. Due to physical problems and ups and downs, the main character did not appear clearly.
Coach Kim, who took office in June this year, experimented with various cards, but gave Jang a little more strength. The frustrating time seemed to have passed as the hitting was not coming up, but Jang began to show his skills in earnest from August.
He posted a batting average of 349 in 19 games in August. He hit five home runs. Until last year, he had only three home runs.
Coach Kim smiled at Jang Jin-hyuk’s story, saying, “At first, it didn’t go as I thought, but I thought I had the ability to do well enough,” adding, “The coach gives you the opportunity, but you are the one who bursts your potential.” I’m glad for the team because (Jang) Jin-hyuk is maintaining a good batting pace in the previous game as well.”
Jang Jin-hyuk said, “I try to focus on every moment. It’s helpful to pay more attention to the process when practicing,” adding, “I’m desperately thinking, and I shouldn’t miss it. However, if I pay too much attention, I can get anxious and difficult on my own, so I’m thinking about focusing on every moment.”
“Tomorrow may be different. I will prepare well,” said Jang, who felt disappointed after finishing his first three-base hitless appearance. He changed his blade properly and received another chance as the third-base hitter at the game against Doosan on Saturday.
The team fully met the expectations of the team’s coach. When the score was tied 1-1 with one out in the top of the sixth inning, Jonathan Peraza drew a walk, and Jang hit a double when Doosan starter Jordan Balazovic hit the ball to the center. Peraza homered, and Jang became the winner of the game’s final hit.
Jang Jin-hyuk also led Doosan to victory with four hits (one home run) on the 23rd. Hanwha swept all three consecutive games against Doosan for the first time in 19 years since the Cheongju game in June 2005.
Jang now has one more homerun to go before his first 10th career homerun. However, he stressed, “I’m really not thinking about (ten homeruns). Now, I want to contribute to the team’s victory.”
