“You have to get through it,” concludes one man’s conversation with a KIA hitting coach…AVG 0.133 outfielder ‘becomes a real starter’

“I have to overcome it.”

It’s certainly been a crunch time for KIA right fielder Lee Woo-sung, 29, since the end of the first half. In his last 10 games, Lee is 4-for-30 with a .133 batting average, one RBI and one run scored. His first RBI came on April 21 against the Gwangju Doosan in Gwangju, his first in 10 games. It hasn’t gone well for him.

MBC Sports Plus commentator Park Jae-hong said of Lee, “His swing is very smooth and his stance is good,” during the first half of the KIA game. Manager Kim Jong-kook also praised Lee for fully settling into a style that emphasizes contact over one-hit wonders.

However, his production certainly dropped in July. While he doesn’t have any walks, he does have two strikeouts. He’s also had some bad luck with pitches going straight to the plate. He’s hanging in there.

KIA’s “batting manager” Choi Hyung-woo said at the All-Star fan signing on the 15th, “He has to get through it. Lee Woo-sung is doing so well this year, but he needs to get over this hump to become a full-time starter. He hasn’t been a full-time starter yet, so this is an important step for him.

Coach Kim Jong-kook said something similar after the Gwangju Doosan game was canceled due to rain on the 22nd. “His batting know-how and experience have definitely improved. Yesterday, I scored the leadoff hit, but I hope I can be a little more confident. It’s much better than before the season,” he said.

Kim continued, “Woo Sung-ah is in a difficult situation right now, but he has to overcome it. Still, I think Woo Sung-ah is the player to play in left field now.” While Kim spoke about the cold reality, he also showed his faith.

Na Sung-bum is back, but Choi Won-jun is still at first base. Choi Hyung-woo is a designated hitter. Socrates Brito is the consistent center fielder. In the end, the left field spot is as uncertain this year as it was last year. If Lee Chang-jin was the winner last year, it was Lee Woo-sung in the first half of this year. If Woo-sung can hold down the left side of the infield through this crisis, he’ll raise his ceiling and give the KIA outfield more stability. If he can’t get over this hump, Lee Chang-jin or Ko Jong-wook will take over. In the long run, he could also threaten Choi Won-jun. 메이저사이트

In the long run, Choi Won-jun is also a threat. A right-handed outfielder with accuracy and a one-hitter is rare. In addition, Lee’s defense and baserunning ability are quite good for his size. He has a lot of value in the offense. Lee shouldn’t pass up this opportunity to become a full-time starter.
