KIA's Seo Geon-chang, who is reviving splendidly, will continue to play well in the future?

Recently, Seo Geon-chang (KIA Tigers) bat is hot. It seems to be clearly cutting off the sluggishness that has been going on for the past few years.

Seo Geon-chang, who started his professional career in 2008 when he joined the LG Twins as a reported player, is a right-handed, left-handed infield resource with a dramatic story. After moving to the Nexen Heroes (currently Kiwoom) in 2012, he took the position of the main second baseman and in the 2014 season, he hit a whopping 201 hits along with 0.3707 homers, 67 RBIs and 135 runs in 128 games, becoming the first player in the KBO League to surpass the 200-hit mark. In particular, the achievement was all the more valuable because it was achieved under the 128-game system.

Seo continued his career by utilizing his strengths. However, he has not been in a good mood lately. He returned to LG in 2022 but played in 77 games, recording a batting average of 0.224 with two homers and 18 RBIs. He also had to be satisfied with his batting average of 0.200 with 12 RBIs in 44 games last year, and he could not avoid the strong wind of his release after the season.

During the off-season, Seo Geon-chang sweated a lot. KIA reached out to him like this, and Seo Geon-chang became a member of the Tiger Corps.

Sweat never betrays you." Seo has been very active this year. As of Tuesday, he had a batting average of 0.389 (14 hits in 36 times at bat), one homer, eight RBIs and two steals, and an OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage of 1.083). Recognized for his performance, he was a cleanup hitter at a game against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on Sunday.

The coach also has strong confidence in his team. "(Choi) Won-joon and (Seo) Gun-chang are getting along well. The two players are doing a great job on getting on base as well," KIA manager Lee Bum-ho said. "(The two players) are in good shape so we prepared for it."

"(Seo Geon-chang) is a player who was outstanding in what he originally had," Lee said. "He is a player who took a path that we had never walked before. He has a tremendous record. He has a high batting average, but I don't think his goal is to just get a hit. When he walks out, he walks out. He is quite capable of getting on base. It is strange that he has not been able to get on base until now."

Director Lee Bum-ho continued, "When I saw Seo Geon-chang's routine and practice, I was so well prepared that I didn't know why he had a hard time for several years," and added, "Of course, I thought he would do well."

Seo's hometown is Gwangju. Upon his return to Kia this season, he will be able to spend the final years of his career in Gwangju. This is also a huge boost for Seo. 메이저사이트

"It is a great blessing for our team to have Seo Geon-chang, and I personally think there have been many synergies that allow me to play in my hometown team in the last period of my career," coach Lee said. "I had a reason to do well, and we also had a reason why (Seo) Geon-chang should do well. That was a good match and I think he is getting ready to sleep."

Did he just hear the head coach's remarks? Seo performed his part by making one hit, one walk and one stolen base from five times at bat in the match against Hanwha on Wednesday. Will Seo continue his performance in the rest of the season and succeed in his revival.
