"To regain confidence...”
Kiwoom Heroes' "Wild Horse" Yasiel Puig (35) hit a walk-off hit for the first time since his KBO debut in the Gocheok KT Wiz match on the 18th. At the bottom of the ninth inning, when the score was 3-3, he hit KT's side-arm Woo Kyu-min with a ball count of 2B1S, four pitches, 133 kilometers outside the center field, making a hit over the height of the center field.
When we met after the game, Puig liked the walk-off hit, but he still had worries. He has low batting performance. Puig has a batting average of 0.208 with three home runs, 12 RBIs and 13 runs scored in his OPS of 0.606 this season, as he posted 20 hits from 96 times at bat in 24 games.
He went well with the start of the season. However, since his two hits in the game against the Gocheok LG Twins on Tuesday last week, he has seen his batting performance decline sharply. He has four hits in 40 times at bat in the recent 10 games, with a batting average of 0.100, two RBIs and one run scored. He has walked two and struck out a whopping 16 times. His balance and timing are all different.
Puig is struggling. He said, "It's important to get back your confidence. Away games are not easy, but you can come out early to practice at home games." He chose to leave the stadium earlier than others and sweat more.
He even destroys the order of batting practice (?). Puig said, "I play in my group, but I play in my group, too." Puig intends to increase the amount of training somehow to get the hang of it. However, it has no effect so far. The finishing hit was not the turning point. He had no hit in four times at bat and struck out three times in the match against KT on Wednesday. 먹튀검증
Puig will be the first hitter this year. Coach Hong said, "In the end, Puig needs to be the first hitter to deal maximum damage to the opponent." He sent the game to No. 4 on Wednesday, but it is a temporary measure. The best batting order for Puig this year is No. 1. The reality is that there is no player in the team who deserves to hit No. 1 or 2.
The first batter has more at-bats than other batters. For a player with a low sense of hitting, this can be helpful or poisonous. Coach Hong Won-ki says Puig has to hit No. 1 anyway, so go into the batter's box and get the hang of it. Puig said he didn't know about the correlation between leadoff and batting, but he said, "Thank you" for Hong Won-ki's use of leadoff.
Kiwoom performed well in the early days of the season as its batters exceeded expectations. However, it naturally fell to the bottom as batters' cycles declined from mid-April. The mound is a team that has some limitations in both the starting and the middle. This season, you have to win by hitting unconditionally. That's why two foreign hitters were recruited. Puig must rebound unconditionally.
