Lee Bum-ho, manager of the Kia Tigers, often used Kim Do-young as leadoff and second batter this season. However, he believes that the optimal batting order is No. 3. He had this view even before the season. Na Sung-bum, No. 5 Socrates Brito, and No. 6 Choi Hyung-woo were considered the best batting order.메이저사이트
As if Choi Hyung-woo had forgotten that he was 41 years old, he performed insanely. Na Sung-beom returned at the end of April and had difficulty raising his hitting sense for a while. Socrates also wandered until the middle of the season and went to the leadoff, but rather fluttered. Thus, the system of Socrates No. 1, Choi Won-joon, No. 3, Kim Do-young, No. 4, Choi Hyung-woo, and No. 5 continued for a while.
Recently, however, Choi Hyung-woo left the batter’s box due to an abdominal muscle injury. Then, manager Lee Bum-ho finally uses Na Sung-bum as No. 4. When Na was playing as No. 3 during the peak of his career last year, he said, “I felt somewhat regretful about coming to the batter’s box when there was no runner with two outs in the first inning.” He ended the inning in vain when he hit a double and had no RBI, and when the No. 4 hitter was out. Therefore, Na thought that the No. 4 hitter fits him well.
The theory is still there. Na Sung-bum is still lower than usual this season, but I think it would be best for him to keep his batting order at No. 4 in the absence of Choi. “At the center, we should have a player who can hit a home run. Whether he hits it or not, his team will not look weak,” coach Lee Bum-ho said ahead of the game against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok on Wednesday. “Sometimes he gets a home run, but sometimes he doesn’t, but he does well enough.”
Even if Na Sung-bum’s batting order is adjusted, he will be able to trade for No. 5 Socrates. Manager Lee Bum-ho said, “Since there is no brother-in-law, the weight of the center hitter will be much greater. I drop him a little, and I can see him trying to improve his condition a lot. He is one of the best hitters in Korea. I trust him. I think that’s why Sung-beom tries hard.”
In this respect, I never think of placing Kim Do-young in the fourth batting order. Regardless of Na Sung-beom’s presence, I think that Kim Do-young’s batter himself is the best for No. 2 or 3. There is no reason not to use an all-around hitter who can hit far, make a sophisticated hit, solve, or run in the first inning.
Manager Lee Bum-ho said, “I think No. 3 is the best for DOYOUNG. Because if you go out as No. 3, you will be able to steal bases like No. 1 or No. 2 because your feet are fast. If you go out as No. 4, there are many situations where you get 2 outs. Will it be worthwhile to put a fast player in No. 4. That’s why I don’t think about No. 4.” In a situation where there are no runners with two outs, the chance of scoring a point will not increase dramatically.
At this point in time without Choi Hyung-woo, “3 Do-young-4 Sung-bum-5 Tess type” is the best. Park Chan-ho is back as a leadoff, and when Choi Won-joon improves his condition, it is best to return to No. 2. Coach Lee Bum-ho said, “No. 3 can also connect you and create a route to score more points when the outcount is low. Doyoung is better at No. 3 than No. 4.”
On the 14th, 3 Do-young also faithfully performed the necessary plays for the team with a triple and a walk against Kiwoom.
