The team's expectations are also growing as Song Chan-ui of the LG Twins maintains an upward trend in exhibition games.

In an away game against the Samsung Lions at Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League exhibition game held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on Sunday, Song started the game as eighth batter and right fielder, and had one hit, two RBIs, one walk, and one run from two times at bat, contributing to his team's 10-5 victory. Song's batting average in exhibition games rose from 0.400 to 0.417 (five hits in 12 times at bat).

Song Chan-eui did not produce any significant results in his first at-bat. In the top of the second inning, he hit a grounder to the third base with two outs and a runner on the first base, and the inning ended as Oh Ji-hwan was forced out of the second base.카지노사이트

It was in the top of the fourth inning that Song had a chance to make up for his disappointment. With the bases loaded with two outs, Song watched Samsung starter Choi Won-tae's second and third pitches after his first foul. He made an advantageous ball count and pulled four pitches, and the ball rolled to the left field. Meanwhile, third baseman Moon Bo-kyung and second baseman Kim Hyun-soo stepped on their home runs. LG added one more run at the top of the fourth inning with Moon Jung-bin's RBI single.

Song performed his part even after the middle of the game. He calmly picked out four balls with two outs in the top of the sixth inning and took the first base with a walk, and with one out in the top of the eighth inning, he got on base with a hit ball to complete the game on the third base.

Song, who was born in 1999, received high expectations every year. Notably, he garnered great attention by hitting six home runs at exhibition games in 2022. However, for the past three years from 2022 to last year, he suffered from sluggishness with a batting average of 0.181, three home runs, 12 RBIs and a slugging percentage of 0.267. It was a bit far from what LG had expected.

However, Song was not frustrated. "I let go of my desire to show something now, and I don't know if it's because of the result, but I think I'm losing strength," Song said. "The year before last, last year was a really tough time, but now that I think about it, I would have stayed in the same place without it. I'm going to take my thoughts calmly like this."

The head coach is also paying attention to Song's change. "I hope (Song) Chan-ui will be able to play as little as Lee Seong-gyu (Samsung) last year," LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said before the match. "I have completed all my schedules without a break since the closing camp with hitting coach Mo Chang-min. As the results are good, he must have high expectations for this season. Players like Chan's will definitely be a plus or minus for the team. I hope he does well."

Song Chan-eui said, "I think the preparation posture is the same rather than making some changes," and added, "The coach always said a lot at bat, 'Why are you busy alone?' In fact, at first, I didn't understand it either, but I was in camp with the coach and understood that part."

Song Chan-eui also said, "I have a goal to play in the game rather than a numerical value. I am having an exhibition game, but I know it is different from the season, so I will not pay much attention to what is going well right now. I have had a successful and sluggish season (in the exhibition game), so I try not to get excited outside the ballpark and keep doing what I am doing."
