Seo Geon-chang (KIA Tigers) is the hottest player this spring.
In 2014, when he was a member of the Nexen Heroes (currently Kiwoom), he hit 201 hits to set a new record for most hits in a single season and became the MVP of the regular season, but he has been struggling amid deep slumps in recent years.
After being traded to the LG Twins during the 2021 season, he failed to prevent his team from going down sharply. Last year, he played in 44 games, posting a batting average of 0.200 with 12 RBIs and 14 runs scored.
Released from the LG Twins after the 2023 season, he headed to KIA. Finally, he began to flap his wings again.
Seo has a batting average of 0.452 (14 hits in 31 times at bat) and one home run, eight RBIs and 10 runs scored in 13 games this year. He is on base as either a first or second baseman, and his team is doing its part in what is needed.
Kia, which has been vacant due to a series of injuries since the opening of the season, is pleased to see Seo Kun-chang’s performance. Kia ranks first in the league in the early days of this season.
Lee Ji-young’s performance cannot be left out of the SSG Landers, which have been at the top of the list beyond expectations since the beginning of the season.
Lee Ji-young, who became a free agent (FA) after the 2023 season, signed a two-year contract with the original Kiwoom Heroes for a total of 400 million won and made a new nest at SSG through a sign-and-trade.
Veteran catcher Lee Ji-young has displayed outstanding performance at bat as well. He has a batting average of 0.400 (18 hits in 45 times at bat) and five RBIs and six runs in 15 games he played this year. He is also playing a key role in the lower-ranked lineup, displaying a high concentration of 0.400 in the batting average.
In Samsung’s bullpen, new faces are active every day.
Last year, Samsung, which was worried about a loose back door, brought Kim Jae-yoon and Lim Chang-min from the FA market ahead of the 2024 season. Kim signed a four-year total of 5.8 billion won with Kim Jae-yoon and a two-year total of 800 million won with Lim Chang-min.
Kim pitched in eight games, posting two wins, no losses and one hold with an earned run average of 0.77. He was responsible for 11 ⅔ and left only one run. He has been pitching in six recent games without allowing a single goal.
Lim Chang-min is also struggling, earning an ERA of 0.93 for three holds without losing or losing in nine games. While pitching nine ⅔, he allowed only one run.
Samsung once fell to the bottom of the standings after losing eight games in a row, but has been changing the mood by winning five consecutive games recently. During the winning streak, the relief pitchers’ average earned run is 1.50, ranking first during the streak.
Ahn Chi-hong, who wore a Hanwha Eagles uniform under a FA contract, is also doing his part.
During the exhibition game, he had a batting average of 0.069 (2 hits in 29 times at bat) in 10 games, but he found his pace after the opening game.
He has a batting average of 0.288 (17 hits in 59 times at bat) in this season, and has displayed batting performance by posting a batting average of 0.324 (11 hits in 34 times at bat) in recent 10 games. He had a batting average of 0.385 for this season, and he garnered eight RBIs with high concentration at an important moment.
