User talk:‘3 hits, 2 RBIs, 3 runs scored’ KIA Seo Geon-chang “For everyone who supports me”

Recorded first hit, RBI, score, and stolen base since transferring to KIA in game against Doosan

Seo Geon-chang's hit

In the top of the second inning, with one out and one on first base, Seo Geon-chang (34, KIA Tigers)'s well-hit ball was sucked into the mitt of Doosan Bears first baseman Yang Seok-hwan.

Seo Geon-chang's expression hardened due to the misfortune of his first at-bat in a game in which he was a long-awaited starter.

However, after entering the dugout, Seo Geon-chang gained strength by seeing his KIA colleagues who were more disappointed than him.

Seo Geon-chang, who led the team to a 9-3 victory by going 3 hits in 4 at-bats, 1 walk, 2 RBI, 3 runs, and 1 stolen base in the professional baseball game against Doosan held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 31st, said, "I was retired with a straight hit in my first at-bat, “I was able to quickly get rid of my anxiety when I realized that there were many people supporting me,” he said. “I thought I had to focus more for my colleagues because they were more disappointed than me.”

From the next at-bat, Seo Geon-chang received congratulations from his KIA colleagues every time he entered the dugout. 카지노사이트

After two outs in the top of the fifth inning when the score was 0-0, Seo Geon-chang targeted Doosan's native ace Kwak Bin's slider and hit a hit that fell to left-center.

Before the game, KIA coach Lee Beom-ho said, "Seo Geon-chang has been good at targeting Kwak Bin's balls over the past two years (3 hits in 7 at-bats). He will start today."

Seo Geon-chang responded to Coach Lee's trust with a hit.

Seo Geon-chang, who reported his first hit since transferring to KIA, immediately succeeded in stealing second base and hit home when Choi Won-jun hit to left.

Seo Geon-chang, who walked in the 7th inning, scored again when Kim Do-young hit a ball.

In the top of the 8th inning, with no outs on second base and leading 5-0, he hit a double to right field and scored an RBI, and added a run when Kim Ho-ryeong hit a timely hit to left-center.

In the 9th inning, with 1 out and runners on 1st and 3rd base, in his last at-bat of the day, Seo Geon-chang did not lose concentration and hit a timely hit to right.

On this day, Seo Geon-chang recorded his first hit, RBI, runs, and stolen bases since his transfer.

Seo Geon-chang, who graduated from Gwangju Jeil High School, joined LG as a training player in 2008 and played in the first team in earnest since 2012 when he was a member of Nexen Heroes (now Kiwoom), playing an active role as a substitute hitter representing the KBO League.

Until last year, he played in 1,256 games and posted a career batting average of 0.297, 1,365 hits, 491 RBIs, and 229 stolen bases.

In particular, in the 2014 season, he achieved 200 hits (201) in a single season for the first time in the KBO League and was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the regular season.

However, he fell into a severe slump starting in 2021 and was unable to play as a starting player after being traded to LG.

After requesting release from LG at the end of the 2023 season, Seo Geon-chang signed a contract with KIA for a total of 120 million won, including an annual salary of 50 million won and an option of 70 million won.

Seo Geon-chang, who started for the first time since his transfer in the game against the Lotte Giants on the 26th and went 0-hit in 3 at-bats, also failed to hit a hit in the game against Lotte on the 27th and the Doosan Bears on the 30th, when he appeared as a substitute.

KIA coach Lee Beom-ho gave Seo Geon-chang, who had hit no hits in 4 at-bats before the game on the 31st, another opportunity.

Seo Geon-chang expressed his gratitude, saying, “Every time the director bumps into me, he tells me, ‘Fighting!’” and “Do I need to say a long word? Everything is contained in those three letters.” 토토사이트
