Professional baseball KIA Tigers won eight consecutive games with their offense overcoming the sluggishness of starting pitchers. The ranking table is fluctuating as KIA and other teams at the top of the batting category in the second half performed well. KIA beat SSG Landers 8-6 in an away game held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 3rd. Starter Lee Eui-ri was substituted early with four hits, three outs and four runs in three innings as he was dragged around by the opponent’s batters, but he brought a victory with a hit that hit 13 long and short and long. 먹튀검증
His concentration shone at the end of the game. In the top of the eighth inning, trailing 5-6, Kim Sun-bin hit Ko Hyo-joon’s breaking ball to get on base, and Hwang Dae-in, Kim Tae-gun, and pinch hitter Ko Jong-wook made consecutive hits against “No. 1 save” Seo Jin-yong to turn the game around 7-6. In the ninth inning, Kim Do-young celebrated his consecutive victory by shooting a wedge one-point arch at Lee Ro-woon.

Park Chan-ho of the KIA Tigers is hitting in a game against kt wiz at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 24th of last month. Yonhap News The KIA lineup is leading the winning streak with explosive power regardless of the opponent’s starting lineup and bullpen ace. On the 1st, SSG foreign pitcher Roenis Elias, who played with a 2.79 ERA in five games in August, scored nine hits and five runs, including two home runs, to complete a 10-2 victory. Starting with the game, KIA bombed the SSG mound with 39 hits and 30 points in three games over the weekend.
In the game against KT Wiz on the 24th of last month, he scored four points against Kim Jae-yoon, the final king, with two hits and two walks in the top of the ninth inning, and won a 7-3 come-from-behind victory. In the match against the NC Dinos on the 31st, he scored eight hits and seven runs against Eric Pedi, who played only three innings on the day, suffered the humiliation of playing at least one game this season.
During the eight-game winning streak, KIA hitters are playing a big role. Choi Hyung-woo, who had been sluggish until early last month, is focusing on 11 RBIs with a batting average of 0.424, while lead-off Park Chan-ho and No. 3 hitter Na Sung-beom are revitalizing the attack with 9 runs and a batting average of 0.382. Kim Do-young ranked first in the league’s total score (17 goals) during this period, and Kim Tae-gun is also working hard in the lower lineup with a batting average of 0.348.
Ahead of the weekend series against SSG, KIA manager Kim Jong-kook said, “The batters have gained a little more confidence by winning a great victory against NC ace Pedi,” adding, “We are playing with the idea that we can overcome any pitcher.” Teams leading the attack rankings in the second half, including KIA, are performing well. In terms of batting average, top clubs such as No. 1 KIA (0.305) to No. 3 NC (0.285) and No. 4 LG Twins (0.277) won more than 18 games, gaining an advantage in the ranking battle. On the other hand, starting with fifth-ranked Lotte Giants (0.275), eighth-ranked SSG (0.254) and ninth-ranked Doosan Base (0.248) are losing the competition with less than 14 wins.
In response, SSG reorganized its coaching staff. Existing batting coaches Lee Jin-young and Oh Joon-hyuk were sent to the Futures League, and coaches Jung Kyung-bae and Park Jung-kwon were joined in the first division. Doosan manager Lee Seung-yeop also said on the 30th of last month, “Jung Soo-bin and Yang Eui-ji will fully recover their physical condition and go up to normal power,” but they have still not found a solution.
