On the 28th, the final game of the season, Moon Bo-kyung poured his last strength into the match against the Daegu Samsung Lions, and went on an RBI hunt and showed a strength of 4 hits in 5 at-bats, 2 home runs, and sweeping 6 RBIs alone.
In the top of the first inning, Moon Bo-kyung, who hit a pre-emptive three-run shot over the right fence from the opponent's starter Choi Chae-heung with one out and runners on the first and second bases, pushed in the top of the third inning and hit a solo shot over the left fence. With consecutive home runs, he has 22 home runs this season. Moon Bo-kyung, who had 95 RBIs until the previous day, immediately added four RBIs to 99 RBIs, raising expectations for his first 100 RBIs.
He also had a hit in the top of the third inning, but unfortunately failed to score an RBI. Leader Shin Min-jae had a hit, but failed to steal second base, and after Austin got on base with another hit, Moon Bo-kyung continued the chance with one out and runners on first and third bases. In the top of the sixth inning, there was a chance for 100 RBIs with two outs and third base, but unfortunately, he was out with a ground ball in front of the second base.
I guess 100 RBIs were meant to be. There was another chance. With two hits and a walk after two outs in the top of the eighth inning, the chance to load the bases came in front of Moon Bo-kyung. Moon Bo-kyung hit a clean two-run right-handed hit by hitting a curve in the fifth pitch on a 1B2S unfavorable count. He scored 101 RBIs, surpassing Moon Bo-kyung's first 100 RBIs in his career.
LG's batting this season was clearly regrettable. I had a lot of ups and downs, and I had a hard time, especially with the chance. The inability to draw points increased the burden on the mound that had to be blocked, which contributed to slow bullpen growth.

He hit .301 (156 hits in 519 at-bats) with 22 home runs and 101 RBIs this season, making career highs in home runs and RBIs. If Hong Chang-ki and Shin Min-jae (Moon Sung-joo) got on base, LG's scoring formula could be made, which Austin and Moon Bo-kyung called in.
It is a double celebration for LG. Austin became the first RBI king of the LG team with 131 RBIs, because Moon Bo-kyung became the youngest player in LG's history to score 100 RBIs.
LG actually had 100 RBIs. In 2000, Smith from Samsung had 100 RBIs for the first time during the season, but this was more by Samsung. Real LG's first 100-run hitter was Petazini, who hit 100 RBIs in 2009. The following year, in 2010, Cho In-sung scored 107 RBIs at the age of 35, surpassing the first 100 RBIs as a Korean player. Jimenez then hit 102 RBIs in 2016 and produced two 100-run batters for LG for the first time in 2018. Chae Eun-sung had 119 RBIs and Kim Hyun-soo had 101 RBIs. Chae Eun-sung raised expectations by scoring 100 RBIs at the young age of 26. However, since then, only Kim Hyun-soo has scored 100 RBIs in 2020 (119 RBIs) and 2022 (106 RBIs), and no one has reached 100 RBIs.
Until last year, only six players, including Smith, Petazini, Jo In-sung, Jimenez, Chae Eun-sung and Kim Hyun-soo, had 100 RBIs under the name of LG. However, this year, Austin and Moon Bo-kyung are on the verge of scoring 100 RBIs at the same time. In particular, the fact that Moon Bo-kyung, who came to the first team in 2021, is growing steadily every year raises expectations even more.
With Moon Bo-kyung's performance, LG won 11-4 against second-place Samsung and began preparing for the semi-playoff in a good mood.
