The Kia Tigers are in a state of emergency. The infield team that led the team to the combined championship in 2024 has been virtually wiped out due to injury. At the least, Park Chan-ho will return to the mound at the LG Twins on Saturday. Kim Do-young has also entered technical training. However, Kim will be removed from the first team on the day instead of Park. The timing of Kim's return is also unknown.먹튀검증
Shortstop Kim Gyu-seong, third baseman Byun Woo-hyuk, and second baseman Hong Jong-pyo seemed to be reshuffled. However, Hong was removed from the first division ahead of the match against LG Electronics at Jamsil on Tuesday. Manager Lee Bum-ho hinted that he is actually going to the second division of the blame game. He saw something bad happen in the match against the Samsung Lions in Gwangju on Sunday. Veteran Seo Geon-chang and Choi Jeong-yong will play second base alternately.
Kim Gyu-seong is a good player in offense and defense. Byun Woo-hyuk is also pretty good. He hit .333 7 RBIs, 1 run scored, and OPS 0.760 run-scoring percentage, 0.455. He hit .300 for the first time last year. However, he said he was weak in scoring position, indicating that he is particularly interested in scuffles.
He had a hit to the core of Ariel Furado at the match against Samsung on Thursday, and then hit a timely hit to seek a curve ball at the first pitch at the next batter's box. As he has gained experience in the first division, he has been improving his ability to respond promptly at bat. He is a big prospect, but he can't aim for a long shot at every batter's box. Rather, his recent appearance at bat is nutritious.
He was also the star of a timely two-run first game against LG Electronics on Wednesday. In the first inning, he gently pulled LG starter Song Seung-ki's slider at his body, making two RBIs and a left-handed hit. He has surely improved his ability to cope with breaking balls. "Players live on experience," said Lee Dong-wook, a commentator who aired the game. This is proof that his experience in the first team will be shown little by little from last year.
After the match against Samsung in Gwangju on the 3rd, Byun Woo-hyuk said, "To be honest, I was a little burdened last week. I actually didn't feel it that day because I was busy playing in the second division, but since the first day and the second day, I think I had to do better."
However, Kim Do-young, who always goes to work at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju after the opening match on March 22, said something to Byun Woo-hyuk. "Just be careful with your mental health," Byun said. "Do-young always leaves work. I'm paying attention to that."
This is a precious opportunity for Byun Woo-hyuk. Kim Do-young, who started technical training, is likely to return to the KT Wiz team in mid-April or at least three consecutive home games on April 15-17. Byun Woo-hyuk does not have much time left to play as the main third baseman.
However, Byun Woo-hyuk said, "Every day is an opportunity." In fact, Choi Hyung-woo is a designated hitter, so it is not easy for KIA backups to get a chance to start. When Kim Do-young returns, Byun Woo-hyuk's business trip time is likely to decrease sharply.
Even so, Byun knows that if he does well with or without Kim Do-young, opportunities will come. I believe that if he contributes to the team with good performance every day, the road will open one day. Coach Lee Bum-ho is quietly watching such Byun Woo-hyuk.
