He had a batting average of 264 (78 hits in 296 at-bats) in the first half. He had no hits in 10 at-bats for the first three consecutive games against the KIA Tigers in the second half. However, he recorded four hits and three points in seven at-bats against Hanwha in Daejeon, his second three-game series.
LG Twins center fielder Park Hae-min survived with a clearly different hit.
Park Hae-min recorded two hits in three at-bats against Hanwha in Daejeon on the 12th. In the third and fifth innings, he hit a clean heavy hit from opposing starter Moon Dong-ju in the first and second at-bats. And on the 13th, he hit a solo shot over the right fence in his first at-bat in the top of the second inning.
On the 14th, he came out as a leadoff hitter in the top of the seventh inning, trailing 1-2 with two walks, hit left-handed, and stole a surprise second base to score a tie when Hong Chang-ki had a hit. Since then, LG has come from behind to win 8-4.
As the severe slump continued, Park Hae-min had an hour-long meeting with head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop before the three consecutive games.
Park Hae-min said "Would the director have been frustrated?" "That one hour was not meaningless." I noted that there was a lot of fouls towards first base among what the coach said"Catch is a batter who needs more accuracy than swing, but the result didn't come out, so I was in a hurry to make the result by hitting it more and more, and I kept focusing on the wrong hit. "
And I found a solution. Park Hae-min said "When I think about it, there was almost no foul towards third base. "I thought about what I should do to prevent a foul toward first base, and in this series, I thought about putting the center in the back and hitting it…" When I hit it like that during practice batting, it went to the left. I thought it would get better, but on the first day, I met a really good pitcher named Moon Dong-ju and hit a hit at his first at-bat, and I think he showed good results in the three consecutive games."

If he is sluggish, it may be helpful to take a break mentally, but Park Hae-min is playing in the Jeon Kyung-gi game at least as a substitute. Park Hae-min said "I don't think I can choose to go to the war. "If you don't know if you're not good enough, you'll go as far as you can," he said. "I think I'm not good enough in the first half, but I think the coach's continued trust and release has created an opportunity to revive me."," he said, expressing his gratitude to Yeom.
Park Hae-min is the core of the outfield defense due to his wide range of defense. Park Hae-min should do his best in defense if he can't attack for the team"But "Anyway, it would be more convenient for the coach to use it when the results are higher at-bat. I will raise it further."
