The Hangzhou Asian Games national team is widely expected to take the fourth place.

It was because there was a lack of sluggers to take over No. 4.

Initially, Lee Jung-hoo's paintings No. 3 and No Si-hwan No. 4 were the most likely ones. However, as it became difficult for Lee Jung-hoo to play for the national team due to an unexpected injury, a change in the plan became inevitable. 메이저사이트

Along with Noh Si-hwan, there is a desperate need for a person who can hit a long ball in the centerline.

This is because there is a high probability that checks will be concentrated. Just in time, a candidate for No. 4 hitter appeared to support Noh Si-hwan.

NC Dinos catcher Kim Hyung-joon. He is catching the eye with his remarkable long-hitting power. The reserve catcher, whose shoulders have become heavy due to the injury of the team's No. 1 and No. 2 catchers, including Park Se-hyuk and Ahn Jung-yeol, is a good match.

Kim Hyung-joon, who started as the No. 8 catcher, led three hits in five at-bats, two RBIs, and three runs scored and Young Bong-seung. NC won 10-0 with Kim Hyung-joon's offense and defense performance.

Kim Hyung-joon, who took the lead in the second inning with a 3-0 lead, easily crossed the left fence by pulling Choi Chae-heung's third fastball in the 1B1S. Lions Park's 125m large home run hit the top of the outfield stands in the left-center wall.

After one out in the top of the sixth inning with a 4-0 lead, he pulled a curve after a full count match with veteran Woo Kyu-min to open the door with a left-center double and stepped home with Park Min-woo's left-handed hit. In the bottom of the eighth inning with a 5-0 lead, he came out as the leadoff hitter and gently pushed Kim Si-hyun's outside forkball to hit a wedge solo home run. a distance of 115 meters.

First three-hit game since his discharge. Three hits are both long hits with two home runs and a double.

Kim Hyung-joon made a strong impression by hitting consecutive at-bats home runs against left-hander ace Kirk McCarty in the match against SSG, which he returned to the first division after being discharged from the military on the 24th of last month. At that time, he pulled and pushed over one shot. All of them were 125m long home runs.

After his return, he went 6-for-15 (0.400), four home runs, four RBIs, and five runs scored in six games. Of the six hits, four are home runs and one is a double, with only five long hits. Although the sample is small, the slugging rate reaches 1.267, which is unrealistic.

He is a long hitter who has a large body size of 1m87 and 98kg and has flexibility to secure a driving distance in a softness like Lee Dae-ho.

Pelvic rotation, the source of power, is soft and fast, and the center movement that puts weight on the ball is perfect. It looks like Lee Dae-ho's batting form when he was active. Commentator Lee Soon-chul, who was in charge of the broadcast commentary on this day, said, "I will pass even when I push." "Look at that pelvic rotation," he said, expressing surprise at Kim Hyung-joon's power.

He has solid basic skills as a catcher.

Especially with pop time and strong shoulders, the throwing speed is surprisingly fast.

The only weakness is that he has not been in perfect harmony with the pitcher since he joined the first team. Even he is adapting cleverly and diligently. On the same day, Tanner Turley led the team's first scoreless victory (6 innings, 1 hit, 2 walks, and no runs) since his KBO debut, completing his team's Youngbong victory.

NC manager Kang In-kwon, a former catcher and battery coach, said, "He has a lot of good talents in strong dogs as a catcher as well as batting." He highly evaluated that he is a potential catcher who has grown in solid basic skills since he was young.

While Park Se-hyuk and Ahn Jung-yeol are away, large catcher Kim Hyung-joon is growing rapidly. It is good news for both NC and the national team.
