"I had a bit of time"

I only came down from number 2 to number 6, but it changed. I got strength in the batting, and I got some room. LG Twins' Oh Ji-hwan put his team back on the rise with four RBIs on three hits, including a wedge two-run shot.

Oh Ji-hwan started as the sixth shortstop in a home game against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 31st. Oh Ji-hwan, who was recently the second batter until the previous day, was sluggish, and manager Yeom Kyung-yeop changed the lineup and tried to change the atmosphere. He put Shin Min-jae on No. 2 and lowered Oh Ji-hwan to No. 6. The result is a huge success. Shin Min-jae also had three hits and two runs, and Oh Ji-hwan also had three hits and four RBIs. The team also won 11-5, avenging the previous day's 1-7 defeat.



He had a hit from his first at-bat. Oh Ji-hwan, who took the batter's box with two outs and a runner on first base in the bottom of the first inning with a 2-0 lead, fixed his bat when his fourth pitch fell into a wild pitch in 1B2S and became a scoring opportunity for two outs and second base.

"If I get one more point, I think I'll be able to go more comfortably."Oh Ji-hwan hit a 117km curve on Samsung starter Lee Seung-hyun's fifth pitch to make a right-handed hit, and second baseman Moon Bo-kyung came home. Oh Ji-hwan "Lee Seung-hyun has a good curve. It was a curve ball when I had a strike on the second pitch, but I was able to hit because of that image"



Oh Ji-hwan, who swung and missed the curve at the end of the third inning and eventually struck out the third pitch, hit the curve again at the bottom of the fifth inning with one out and second base to make it 6-0.

Oh Ji-hwan "I thought the first base was empty when it came to runner second base, and I was aiming for the curve from the first pitch. So it seems to have led to a good result."

A game between Samsung and LG at Jamsil Baseball Stadium on the 31st, and Samsung Lee Seung-hyun, with one out and second base, is regretful after giving up a two-run home run to LG Oh Ji-hwan in the bottom of the fifth inning. Jamsil = Reporter Heo Sang-wook wook@sportschosun.com /2024.07.31/
In the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs and runners on the first and second bases with a 10-1 lead, he hit a right-handed hit from left-handed pitcher Lee Jae-ik to add an RBI. He properly hit a 138km pitch. Oh Ji-hwan "Because I hit two breaking balls, I thought I would play with a fast ball this time, and a fast ball came to the first ball, so I prepared for a fast ball.", he said that the aim of the day worked well.

Recently, he had a hard time physically, and he felt a little urgent as he went out as the second batter. Oh Ji-hwan "I think it was a physical problem because he came up and ran without missing an inning, and he was in a bit of a hurry. That's why I didn't do well "I didn't feel it before to hit it at number 2, but this time I thought I was rushing to prepare. As a result, I was late for my fastball. Corner threw well yesterday, but he was late for his fastball.

On this day, he reduced his training as he came down to No. 6. Oh Ji-hwan was a little comfortable when he hit "6." I had some time to relax. "I usually come out first to train, but I think I'm not feeling well at the game, maybe because it's too hot these days. So I said, "I'm not going to train at all today and let's get in shape for the game, but I think it went well.'

It is five games behind the first-place KIA Tigers. It's open, but of course, I'm just going to go after it. I know the heart of the team in first place because I won first place last year. Oh Ji-hwan said, `We also won first place by 5 and 6 games last year, but I wasn't relieved until the moment the first place was confirmed.' `We have 4 games left against KIA. I think that's the point. The feeling of those who follow and those who try to protect are very different", and said that he would chase, the second-place privilege.
