No hit in 12 at-bats, surprise bunt, sacrifice bunt No. 4...Director Yeom Kyung-yeop said, "'Moon Bo-kyung, still number 4'"

He has not shown any sense of pressure as the fourth batter. There are few fourth hitters on the sacrifice bunt. However, coach Yeom Kyung-yeop's tenacity remains the same. He said he would continue to place Moon Bo-kyung on No. 4.
LG won 6-5 in the third round of the semi-playoff against KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 8th. Leaving the spacious Jamsil and coming to a narrower Suwon than that, the baseball of 'Big Ball' was realized as manager Yeom wished. Park Dong-won's first shot and Austin's three-run shot in the come-from-behind final broke out, giving him a 100% chance to go to the playoffs.
However, all concerns have not been erased. Key hitters Kim Hyun-soo and Moon Bo-kyung, who have to turn out, are still silent. The two who were very sluggish in the first and second games. At least, Kim Hyun-soo had his first hit in Game 3. However, Moon Bo-kyung's poor performance is terrible.
He played four times in all three games, but had no hits in 14 at-bats for 12. There was one walk and one sacrifice bunt.

However, as No. 4, he failed to produce hits due to a swing that put a lot of strength into the first game, whether he felt burdened by his first fall baseball or wanted to do it too well.
Is that why he became more impatient. He continues to swing and miss at the opponent's manned ball. His confidence is low, and he is in a hurry to get it right.
Game 3 was even more unfortunate. Austin's come-from-behind three-run shot brought the atmosphere to life, and Moon Bo-kyung tried a surprise bunt on the first pitch. Since the team turned the tables, it would be better to take a cool swing more comfortably, but the player's frustration was conveyed as it was. The will to live somehow can be evaluated well, but it was a difficult scene to see as the fourth hitter.

Rather, if the player seems to feel burdened, adjust the batting order for one or two games, and if he gets the hang of it, he can place it again at No. 4. However, the problem is that in the current situation of LG, there is no proper replacement for No. 4. When asked if he would use Moon Bo-kyung as No. 4 again in Game 4, Yeom stressed, `Moon Bo-kyung is No. 4 again tomorrow.'
Will manager Yeom's baseball of faith save Moon Bo-kyung.
