SSG Landers Park Sung-han led his team to victory in the Incheon Lotte Giants game on the 30th, hitting 3 hits and 3 RBIs including a home run.
Second half batting average .358, OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) .978.
He also raised his season batting average to .340. He once again proved the title of ‘.300 shortstop’ that followed him after his slump last year.
Park was the main player who led the batting line that day along with Lee Ji-young, who hit a timely hit in the bottom of the 1st inning, a final home run in the bottom of the 6th inning, and a tying home run in the bottom of the 2nd inning. He is particularly strong against Lotte among the 10 teams. His batting average is .600 (21 hits in 35 at-bats). He is the ‘Lotte Killer’ itself. He has struggled in the second half every year due to physical problems.
Park Sung-han looked back and said, “The coach told me to ‘focus on the game.’ So I focused on the game while resting rather than training.” He said that he reduced the amount of training and focused on improving his senses.
Now, the team seems to have faith in the skills of ‘national shortstop’ Park Sung-han.
He smiled and said, “I was very anxious at first, but the results are coming out well.” He is in his prime.
He is also increasingly being placed in the cleanup trio. Park Sung-han looked back and said, “I don’t really care about the batting order. However, 바카라사이트 being number one puts a lot of pressure on me. I feel like I have to see a lot of balls, and it’s also physically burdensome.”
Coach Lee Soong-yong emphasized to Park Sung-han several times, “Take a rest whenever you feel tired.” However, Park Sung-han has no intention of using the ‘vacation’ card yet. Rather, he is enjoying this moment of playing as a starting player in every game.
Park Sung-han wants to be a ‘clutch hitter’ rather than a batting average of .300 or a double-digit home run. He emphasized, “I was glad that I had a scoring opportunity from my first at-bat. I want to be a hitter who hits in a situation where I can score.” Regarding the home run, he was embarrassed, saying, “The timing was late, but I think it was because it was a changeup, so it went far.”
In the second half of the season, pitch comps were distributed to 10 teams. Park Sung-han said, “Thanks to this, it helps me defend and is convenient. Usually, there were many times when I couldn’t see the signs, but since I can hear them clearly with the call, it’s good for preparation.”
