Kiwoom Lee Jung-hoo has proudly returned as a .300 hitter after overcoming his slump at the beginning of the season.He said he had a hard time getting out of the slump and overcoming the fight with himself.
Hit, hit again.
Lee Jung-hoo went 4-for-4 in the weekend’s final game.
It’s already 14 consecutive hits.
The batting average, which was early 20% in April, rose steeply to 50% this month and exceeded the average of 30%.
Lee Jung-hoo’s slump, who was the batting champion for the past two consecutive seasons, was unfamiliar.
I shake my head when I pointed out that the batting form changed in preparation for entering the Major League next year is a problem.
<Lee Jung-hoo / Kiwoom outfielder> “I think I had a psychological problem because I didn’t get along well during the WBC and the exhibition game when I came back, but I think I had a psychological problem because I didn’t get along well in the season…”.”
He tried to be calm, saying, “Hitting is the area of luck,” but he couldn’t help but shrink.
<Lee Jung-hoo / Kiwoom Outfielder> “I think I’m hurting too many people, and while doing that, I think I’ve become a little more depressed and lost my confidence little by little….”
There was a lot of comfort and encouragement around me, but in the end, it was a fight against myself that I had to overcome alone.
Still, the infinite trust of coach Hong Won-ki and father and baseball senior Lee Jong-beom was a strong support.
<Lee Jung-hoo / Kiwoom outfielder> “My father also said, ‘Don’t worry because I’m going to play well anyway.’ I think I just practiced harder because I thought I had to rebound for those who believed in me and supported me as soon as possible.”
It’s time to boost your team’s performance as much as your batting sense.
Lee Jung-hoo spoke like a captain.
<Lee Jung-hoo / Kiwoom outfielder> “The pitchers are throwing well, but I want to tell you that if the pitchers cheer up a little more, the batters will definitely repay it.”
