Choi Hyung-woo (42), the Kia Tigers' slugger, has something I have heard over the past few years. I heard the same thing right after the game against the LG Twins in Gwangju on Tuesday. "When I get a feeling of (hitting), I have to keep going, but I can't do that in my late 30s."먹튀검증
What gives me goosebumps is that I heard this from Park Byung-ho (39, Samsung Lions) during the 2024 season. As I get older, I feel the sense of hitting doesn't last long." Still, their good performance and performance should be seen as a combination of experience and technique. Choi posted a batting average of 0.281 with four homers, 14 RBIs and 12 points with an OPS of 0.861 in 26 games this season.
Choi Hyung-woo said, "I only get one hit every day." It's a complaints, but often the one hit goes off when the final hit or the final hit is decisive. So Choi responded that it was good but also disappointing. "This is a bit of a problem, but I'm still happy with the result."
Have you thought about the reason? Choi smiled and said, "My body is always different when I wake up the next morning. It's always like that when I'm in my late 30s. When I wake up in the morning, I really don't have that good energy. I have to reset and build my body again. But just because I made it, I wonder if it's going to work."
That's how he lives his life day by day, but Choi said, "It is regrettable that the productivity of KIA's batting lineup this year has decreased compared to last year. KIA has never had a best lineup this season. Starting with opener Kim Do-young, Park Chan-ho left the team in the third game of this season. Kim Sun-bin was also virtually absent in the first week of the season. Park Chan-ho returned quickly, but he was sluggish for a while, and Kim Sun-bin and Kim Do-young recently returned one after another, about a week apart. However, Na Sung-bum was out again due to a calf injury. Other players, including Choi Won-joon, Han Jun-su and Lee Woo-sung, have been less productive than last year.
Kia Tigers' batting average of 0.301 last year fell to 0.247 this year. Its OPS also fell from 0.828 to 0.732. Choi said, "A typical batting average is ups and downs. Don't coaches say that hitting is unbelievable? I'm a batter, but I agree with that. No matter how well you hit today, you won't be able to do it again whether it's the next season or the next day. That's why I have to forget that I hit well and do it again. You shouldn't trust what you did well."
Choi Hyung-woo's analysis is not due to ABS' downward revision. In the ABS era, younger hitters were told not to hit the curve until they hit two strikes. In any case, I believe that synergy effect does not occur due to injury and poor performance. "There is a lot of synergy. If any of the nine hitters burst, they can explode both in front and back, but there have been no other players like that so far. There is no other hitter who has good sense of play."
It's a shame that Na Sung-bum is not here. Choi Hyung-woo said, "That's life. It doesn't make sense. All of a sudden, Doyoung and Sung-bum started the first episode…She said, "However, it came down to age again. Known for his lack of leg injuries including hamstring and calf, he smiled again and said, "I'm also in pain. If I go in, I'll get treatment. I was born healthy."
