A manager of another team said to Song Sung-moon (28), an infielder of the Kiwoom Heroes in the professional baseball league. He was a regular player until last year, but has rapidly grown into a top-class hitter in the league this year.
Song Sung-moon played in the match against Hanwha in Daejeon on the 11th with three hits and three RBIs in five times at bat, including a three-run home run that sealed his victory in the second inning. He hit 80 RBIs for the first time in 2022 with more than 13 homers in a season. 82 RBIs for the season. Both are career-high records, the most in the Kiwoom team this year.먹튀검증
After the game, Song said, “After the game yesterday (10th), I learned that the records for home runs and RBIs in the 2022 season are the same. At the same time, I am happy to break the record,” adding, “I will not rest easy, but only until today. I will try again from tomorrow.”
As of Tuesday, Song has played in the most 106 games in his team, posting a batting average of 343 (31 hits in 382 times at bat) with 14 homers, 82 RBIs, 60 runs scored, 46 walks, 64 strikeouts, 11 steals, and a .409 slugging percentage. He is listed in the top 10 in the batting average and hit fifth, on-base percentage sixth, RBI seventh, OPS eighth, and slugging percentage tenth.
His performance has significantly improved considering that he is in the season of riding and pitching. He is also among the top-rated defense capabilities at the third base. He has stable pitching with at least three errors among 11 players who played at third base in more than 300 innings. Originally, he showed good response speed in defense, but this year, his throwing accuracy, which was his weakness, has improved.
Based on the KBO’s official record company Sports2I, WAR is also showing great productivity in offense and defense, ranking third among fielders (4.16). Among third basemen, he is next to “MVP No. 1” Kim Do-young (KIA, 5.45). Kim Do-young, who is about to join the 30-homer club, is performing so well that his performance is somewhat obscured. If it weren’t for Kim, he would have been a golden glove for third basemen.
He had batting talent and was strong even in big games, as he posted a batting average of 351 (39 hits in 111 at-bats) with three homers and 24 RBIs in 36 postseason games. However, he had ups and downs during the regular season and failed to continue his steady performance.
He has changed so much that people say he has become a completely different player this year. Not only batting and defense but also concentration on the base line is remarkable. In the game against the Gocheok SSG on Saturday last week, when he had a hit that went over the height of the shortstop in front of the center field with two outs and runners on the first and third bases in the bottom of the sixth inning, first baseman Song Seong-moon did not miss the gap in the opponent team’s defense and rushed home through the second and third bases. While SSG center fielder Jihoon Choi passed the ball over to the second base, Song did not stop even at the stop sign for the third base coach to score additional points. He led his team to victory by running on a decisive base line, which widened the score to 3-0.
“Our players must have felt a lot from watching the base running play,” Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said. “Kim Hye-sung is not the only one who can play the game. Such plays need to be thoughtful and prepared in advance,” Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said. “The chemistry with Kim is so good. I think we were able to make such plays as they talked a lot about baseball and shared their opinions.”
Since June 4, Song has taken over the captaincy armband from Kim Hye-sung. Usually, players who are burdened with heavy responsibilities can be seen as captains, but Song is flying much with the armband. His performance improved with a batting average of 371 (78 hits in 210 at-bats) and eight homers and 49 RBIs in 52 games.
Foreign batter Ronnie Dawson is out for the season due to knee injury and oldest player Lee Yong-gyu is also out for the season due to toe fracture. Kim Hye-sung also missed the last five consecutive games due to neck injury. However, Song took the position of second base without Kim, and propped up the team in offense and defense. Although he is ranked 10th, Kiwoom is playing a baseball game that no other team can easily see, as the team recorded the second highest winning rate (.444) among the teams ranking last. Despite his poor performance, he is aiming to come out of last place. At the center of this is Song Seong-moon.
