“Who’s going to throw a stone”…September’s ‘Return MVP’ bat is cold, but the head coach covered it up

Mel Rojas Jr. (KT Wiz), who won the KBO’s first switch-heater home run king and regular season MVP with an amazing performance of 192 hits, 47 homers, 135 RBIs, 116 runs, and a batting average of 0.349 OPS 1.097 in 142 games in 2020, returned in four years.토토사이트

Rojas, who will wear KT’s uniform again after the Hanshin Tigers of the Japanese professional baseball, the Mexican League, and the Dominican Winter League, is performing well with 182 hits, 32 home runs, 110 RBIs, 106 runs and a batting average of 0.326 OPS of 0.991 in 141 games this season.

As the No. 1 hitter of KT in this season, he perfectly performed his role as the “strong No. 1.” As the No. 1 hitter, he played in 427 at-bats for 129 hits in 375 times at bat, with 19 homers and 75 RBIs, and a batting average of 0.344 OPS of 0.988.

However, Rojas’ pace has fallen slightly recently. Rojas’ performance in September is 13 hits, two homers, 12 RBIs, eight runs and a batting average of 0.255. He has been silent for seven consecutive games since he hit a multi-homer game against the NC Dinos on the 12th.

KT manager Lee Kang-chul covered Rojas. “Who would throw a stone at Rojas? He did a good job,” said the head coach, who met reporters ahead of his showdown with SSG Landers on the 22nd. “Lojas is not right these days, but I can’t say I can’t do it. He’s been so good. That’s why I came this far.”

KT had difficulties in the early days of this season. However, manager Lee Kang-chul defended Rojas because he played his role by firmly maintaining his position, regardless of when his team was struggling or on an upward trajectory.

Rojas had no hit in four times at bat, walked one and had four strikeouts at the match against SSG on Sunday. Both of his at-bats had chances to score, but failed to take advantage of the opportunity by striking out.

Currently, KT ranks fifth with 69 wins, two draws and 70 losses. With three more games to go, the Korean team is fiercely competing to advance to the post season. If KT is to win the ticket for the fall baseball season, it needs Rojas’ performance. Will Rojas’ bat be on fire again in the last three home games against the Lotte Giants on Monday and against the Kiwoom Heroes on Friday and Sunday.
