Manager Lee selected Choi Won-joon as his partner, putting Socrates Brito as the top hitter in the first three consecutive games of the second half against the LG Twins.
This is because his batting performance against LG was excellent. Choi Won-jun hit .285 in the first half, and he had the best hit against LG with a batting average of .448 (13 hits in 29 at-bats) and four RBIs and six runs scored.
I did my part for two days. On the 9th, he recorded two hits, one walk, and two points in five at-bats. In particular, in the top of the first inning, he drew a walk in a tight race with opposing starter Casey Kelly going up to the ninth pitch, allowing the early game to flow to KIA. Kim Do-young's double immediately scored the first run.
On the 10th, he played the role of a troubleshooter. Choi Won-joon, who broke both the perfect and no-hit by a left-handed hit in the top of the fourth inning when he was being dragged to the perfect by the opponent's starter Detrick N.S., scored a clean RBI left-handed hit from the opponent's closer Yoo Young-chan in the top of the ninth inning with one out and runners on the first and second bases with two outs in the top of the 10th inning with a 3-2 lead, and a wedge RBI right-handed hit from Jung Woo-young. 3 for 4 with two RBIs. Choi Won-joon alone hit a multi-hit on this day. Now, the batting average against LG has risen to 474.
Choi Won-jun said, `The batting feeling felt good from the Daegu game. I tried to analyze the parts that I did well in 2021 when my grades were good and try to follow them as they were, and I will continue this sense of hit," he said of the recent better batting.
The psychological state was different when hitting hits in the ninth and 10th innings. He hit comfortably in the top of the ninth inning when he was trailing, and hit more aggressively in the top of the 10th inning when he led.
Choi Won-jun went to the batter's box comfortably because he was 0-2 in the ninth inning and could not overturn the game with one run. The batting coach advised me to go into the batter's box comfortably because it was easy to score points because it was on third base with one out, and "In the 10th inning, the opposing pitcher was the sidearm and Kim Do-young was the right-handed hitter, so the coach ordered me to swing as aggressively as possible." I was lucky, and I was able to get a good result with an extra RBI"
Although it is a hot summer, he said he is confident about his physical condition. Choi Won-jun said, "My wife cooked a lot of delicious food at home, so I'm in good shape."," he said with a smile.
