In 2024, Song Seong-moon (Kium) is in his first prime. He is maintaining his batting sense, which started exploding with a batting average of 0.404 in June, until the end of August. As of Sunday, he ranks third in the league with a batting average of 0.347, and is enjoying his prime since his debut in 2015.먹튀검증
He is currently the scariest hitter in Kiwoom, but he seems not to be the scariest hitter to his opponent yet.
Song Sung-moon had a fiery performance of three hits, five RBIs and three runs in five at-bats against LG at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 23rd.
After leading 3-0 and LG scored three runs in the top of the sixth inning to tie the game, Kiwoom scored four runs and ran away 7-3 in the bottom of the sixth inning. Kim Hye-sung’s infield hit made it 4-3 with one out and runners on first and third, and Song Sung-moon hit a three-run mid-month against LG Kim Jin-sung in the first and second bases.
Song Sung-moon said after the game, “Actually, I remember more when I scored two RBIs in the second inning than when I hit a home run. Recently, my batting balance was not good, but when I saw the opponent’s bench telling me to make it difficult and to throw a low manned ball, I felt a bit of a struggle,” adding, “Since the first base was empty, I thought that he was playing against me after skipping (Kim Hye-sung), so I strongly thought that I should hit it. I just got a 150-kilometer fastball and the ball was really good, but I think I hit it because of that struggle.”
Song, who had been sluggish in the previous three games with one hit in 11 at-bats, got on base with an infield grounder in the first inning to score the first run, and when No. 2 Kim Hye-sung walked on base to load the bases with two outs and runners on the second and third bases in the bottom of the second inning, he pulled LG starter Son Joo-young’s fastball and scored two RBIs with a timely hit to the right. He immediately stole second base and stole his 16th base of the season, and scored with a three-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning and a right-handed hit in the bottom of the eighth inning before getting on base with his opponent’s balk. He recovered his dead batting energy by showing strong performance.
When I started the season, I started to believe in myself little by little. Song Sung-moon said, “I always made a lot of minor changes throughout the season. I tried to change it little by little if it didn’t work out, but it’s hardly like that this year. I don’t think I have a lot of ups and downs in that I steadily believe in myself and push ahead.”
Thanks to his stellar performance on the day, Song has a batting average of 0.347 with 16 homers, 89 RBIs, 67 runs and 16 steals. He ranks third in the batting average, fifth in the hits list (146), and fifth in on-base percentage (0.413).
“I don’t think about hitting titles at all because I’ve always seen Eredia (SSG) and Lays (Lotte) hit like hitting machines in front of my eyes,” Song said. “However, I have a goal that I really want.”
Song has never worn a national flag since he was a teenager. Song said, “I really want to be selected as a member of the national team at the Premier 12 after the season. I have never been selected as a member of the national team since I was in middle school. In fact, while playing baseball, I could only dream of becoming a member of the national team. I was very thirsty and I would laugh at him saying, “You’re not a national team member,” so I never told him. “But this year, I really want to go there. I think it’s a season where I can talk about what I’ve dreamed of. Recently, Park Yong-taek said, “You should try the national team as well,” and added, “You should appeal to yourself a lot. I want to tell you that I have always been strong in short-term matches and can play all the infield positions.”
Kiwoom, which was expected to be at the bottom of the list, is at the bottom of this year, with many smart players, even if they were expected to be at the bottom of the list. Song Sung-moon is leading Kiwoom, which is without Lee Jung-hoo, Ahn Woo-jin, and Lee Yong-kyu because they are hurt. Kiwoom is at the bottom now, but Song Sung-moon is at his highest peak since baseball life began.
“I think it will be the last chance of my life this year, but since baseball is not up to me (except for the national team), I don’t want to be greedy,” Song said. “I want to be a steady player. Honestly, it will be difficult to play next year as much as this year, but I want to be a player whose batting average is higher than that of mid-20.”
