LG Twins Song Chan-eui, who showed potential as the home run king in the demonstration game, is gradually upgrading his batting ability with a .400 hit in the Australian league.

Song Chan-eui, who is playing in the Australian League for Geelong Korea, hit a home run from the opening match held in mid-November, and hit home runs in three consecutive games. In the subsequent 16 games, he added only one home run, but instead, his contact ability improved and his high batting average was steadily maintained. He must have gained confidence in the sophistication of his hitting, which was lacking in last year’s KBO League.
As of the 10th, Song Chan-eui has participated in 19 games and recorded a batting average of 40% (28 hits in 70 at-bats), 4 home runs, 17 RBIs, 15 points, 6 walks and 9 strikeouts.

He caught the attention of former coach Ryu Ji-hyeon at the finishing camp, went through last year’s spring camp, and boasted a surprising long hitting power in last year’s demonstration game.

Due to his performance in the demonstration game, he was included in the lineup for the opening game, but felt the wall in the first team. He showed his lack of experience against pitchers in the regular season, not in exhibition games. In 33 games last year, he had a batting average of 2.3 6 Lee (17 hits in 72 at-bats), 3 home runs, 10 RBIs, and an OPS of .699.
Song Chan-eui, who has accumulated about 200 at-bats in the Futures League, is accumulating practical experience by experiencing the balls of various and unfamiliar pitchers in the Australian League.
In addition to second baseman, Song Chan-eui also played first baseman and right fielder last year. New coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop plans to appoint Song Chan-eui as backup for first baseman (Lee Jae-won) and second baseman (Seo Gun-chang, Kim Min-seong).
It’s a competition anyway. If Song Chan-eui shows a 바카라사이트. good record in batting, he can change his position. Manager Yeom evaluated, “Song Chan-eui also has the talent and ability to become an important player in LG.”
Song Chan-eui’s team senior, Hong Chang-ki, participated in the Australian League as a member of Geelong Korea in the 2019-2020 season, laying the foundation for a starter leap in 2020.
Geelong Korea recorded 11 wins and 29 losses at the time, and Hong Chang-ki stood out the most among the batters. Hong Chang-ki played an active role in 37 games with a batting average of 30 3 (41 hits in 123 at-bats), 3 home runs, 21 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.960. .
Song Chan-eui, who added experience in the Australian league, will be gaining momentum to grow into a key player in the LG field team in the future, even if it is not this season.
