“I’m lucky these days.”
August is hot for infielder Ryu Ji-hyeok (29), who came to the Samsung Lions after leaving the KIA Tigers, whom he has been fond of through a trade in early July. Ryu Ji-hyeok, who came to Samsung through a trade with Kim Tae-gun on the 5th of last month, suffered a slight slump, not a slight slump, even in July. He had a batting average of just 0.197 in July. He gets hits, but his batting average hasn’t risen easily.
Then, on the 28th of last month,안전놀이터 I started to find my senses little by little, starting with the Gocheok Kiwoom Heroes match. He had a streak of hits in 7 consecutive games until the game against the Daegu LG Twins on the 5th, and he caught on. In particular, his batting average in August was hot at 0.533.
Ryu Ji-hyeok was also hot in the game on the 5th. He went 3-for-3 with 2 RBIs and a heavy hit. Ryu Ji-hyeok, who got a hit from the first at-bat in the second inning, scored an RBI on a come-from-behind sacrifice fly in the third inning. Ryu Ji-hyeok, who hit an additional RBI in the 5th inning and hit a timely hit in the 7th inning, made his third 3-hit game only in August.
Adding Ryu Ji-hyuk’s performance, Samsung won 6-3 and secured a winning series and eliminated the 9th place Kiwoom Heroes and the game car.
Ryu Ji-hyuk, who added 3 hits that day, raised his batting average from 0.266 to 0.274. His August batting average is 0.611.
After the game, Ryu Ji-hyeok said, “Rather than feeling good at hitting, I feel good because I’ve been following my luck these days. When he enters the plate, he has a strong desire to hit, but he seems to be hitting comfortably because many comfortable situations have been created in front of him.”
Ryu Ji-hyeok is a great source of strength for young beasts such as Kim Ji-chan and Lee Jae-hyun. He buys me a lot of delicious food and gives me a lot of helpful advice when playing games.
Samsung coach Park Jin-man also said before, “There is a side to reading the players. Maybe that’s why, it seems that the expressions and performances of the young players have improved a lot. Although he did not know the pitcher, the part he lacked was the batter who should play the role of the middle leg. Ja-wook Koo had a hard time doing that part alone, but Ji-hyeok came and he did a good job.”
Ryu Ji-hyeok said, “I talk a lot with my juniors. We talk about what to do in each situation and how to do it in terms of a team.”
Finally, he said, “Thank you for coming to the baseball field a lot on a hot day, and I will show you a lot of good games in the future.”
