Shin Min-jae of the LG Twins has made a clear mark to become a starter.
LG won 4-1 in a home game against Hanwha Eagles in the ‘2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League’ held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 21st.
LG, which achieved a winning series (2 wins, 1 draw) on the weekend and 4 consecutive wins, maintained the joint 1st place in the league with SSG.
Shin Min-jae, who has been used as a major defense and large runner resource all season, started as the second baseman for the first 9 batters of the season.
He had 2 hits in 4 at-bats. Every moment, he laid a bridge to connect the scoring chances to LG’s top line.
He also played a hidden supporting role in LG’s winning streak by showing his smooth defense.
This season, LG’s starting second baseman position was kept by Seo Kun-chang.
During the demonstration game, he raised his batting average to 0.362 and improved his sense of hitting.
But after the opening, it started to slow down.
Seo Kun-chang has played in 31 games this season and is recording sluggish results with a batting average of 0.207 and an OPS of 0.590.
On top of that, in defense, he played 210 innings in 27 games and committed 9 mistakes, and withdrew from the first team entry on the 19th with the disgrace of being the number one mistake in the league.먹튀검증
On this day, Shin Min-jae took his place and erased the void of Seo Geon-chang.
The season’s performance is also continuing with a batting average of 0.538 (7 hits in 13 at-bats) and an OPS of 1.076, which does not match the word ‘substitute’.
Maybe Shin Min-jae can be reborn as LG’s new starting second baseman.
It is also the moment of opportunity for him to be reborn as a main player, who has stayed in a supporting role.
Indeed, attention is paid to what role Shin Min-jae will be able to play at LG in the future.
