It was a measure to prepare a new team leader in advance, considering Kim Hye-sung, who announced her overseas expansion after this season, to focus more comfortably on the game. At that time, Kiwoom gradually fell to 10th place after losing to SSG on June 2. It was time for the team to change as well.
And on the 2nd, nearly a month ago, Kiwoom won five consecutive games with a 4-2 come-from-behind victory against Gocheok LG. It was the third five-game winning streak after seven straight wins in late March and five straight wins in April.
A month after the captain's change. It's very positive.
Kim Hye-sung, who put down his captain's armband, has had a devastating blow since June 4. He hit .457 (37 hits in 91 at-bats) in 21 games, the best batting average among all 10 hitters in the period. 2 home runs, 15 RBIs and 20 runs scored. With a slugging percentage of 0.716 and an on-base percentage of 0.531, OPS ranked first with a whopping 1.247. Until June 3, he had a batting average of 399 (63 hits in 204 at-bats) with eight homers and 31 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.837 in his performance.
Song Sung-moon, who suddenly became the captain, also saw his grades rise. It was thought that the argument would lead to a burden, but rather, the responsibility of the argument led to concentration.
Song Sung-moon, who had a batting average of .38 (53 hits in 172 at-bats) with six home runs and 33 RBIs and an OPS of .852 until the 3rd, ranked second in the batting average after Kim Hye-sung with 3 home runs and 22 RBIs since taking over as captain. He also ranked fourth overall in RBIs during the period. His slugging percentage was 0.600 and on-base percentage was 0.491, ranking fifth in OPS with 1.091.

After the game, Song Sung-moon said, "My personal performance is good, but I think I'm more proud because I think the team is in a process of getting stronger overall."," he said with a big smile.
The team also recorded 12 wins and 11 losses in 23 games played during this period. It was second to the Lotte Giants, who recorded 13 wins and 8 losses.
Although it remains in 10th place, it is only 1.5 games apart from the 9th-ranked Hanwha Eagles, 2 games apart from the 8th-ranked KT Wiz, 3 games with the 7th-ranked Lotte, and 4 games apart from the 6th-ranked NC Dinos. In the second half of the year, we are in a situation where we can compete enough.
