"You're so cool that I want to be your role model." He fell in love with the swing of the opponent's three-year-old batter. 18 home runs already. Not in contact but with my swing in 2S."

I fell in love with the swing of the opponent's junior. It's rather good that he swung himself like that. This is the story of Moon Bo-kyung, who became the fourth batter of the LG Twins.
Moon Bo-kyung led the team to victory by hitting a wedge solo shot at home against SSG Landers in Jamsil on the 4th. He hit a solo shot to right-center from SSG Song Young-jin in the bottom of the fifth inning with a 4-0 lead. In the unfavorable count of 2S, he pulled a high fork ball of 131km on the third pitch to create a strong hit.
18th home run of the season. Last year, 10 were his season's most home runs, but he has already exceeded it, and if he hits two more, he will record his first 20 home runs in his life. He also had 82 RBIs, surpassing 72 last year's career high. It is a literary scene that is developing every year.
I changed my style this season. Even if you get struck out, you swing yourself until the end. The home run on the day was also a disadvantageous count of two strikes, but his swing, not a contact-oriented hit, could lead to a home run.
Moon Bo-kyung is the same out as having a strikeout or being hit out. I'm not a fast hitter, so I think I want to swing and hit a strong ball and hit a long ball as much as possible. About hitting a home run in the 2S on the same day, he said. "I would have tried to contact him in the past." I'm trying to do my swing now, if not necessarily a full swing."
There was an opportunity to change. I fell in love with Kim Young-woong of the Samsung Lions. Moon Bo-kyung was born in 2000 and joined in 2019, and Kim Young-woong was born in 2003 and joined in 2022, and Moon Bo-kyung is a three-year-old brother.
Moon Bo-kyung said, `It's the other team, and it was cool. "I thought I should strike out like that even if I strike out like that," he said. "I'm a younger brother, but I wanted to use it as a role model because he was cool." I even asked them myself. Moon Bo-kyung said "I just watch balls and play balls. I was glad I was in the same style."
He had only two home runs left on his 20th home run, but he didn't have to be greedy for home runs. Moon Bo-kyung said "It is important to make use of my strengths even if I put a lot of home runs in place. I will be a mid- to long-distance hitter rather than a home run hitter."
