Despite the extreme sluggish hitting, he failed to respond for 3 consecutive games. There is no end in sight to the sluggish tunnel of Hanwha foreign hitter Brian O’Grady (31).
On the 16th, O’Gredi started as the 7th hitter left fielder in the home game against Lotte in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Daejeon Hanwha Life Insurance Eagles Park. On the 13th, the first game after returning to the first team, O’Grady entered as the 6th hitter in the Munhak SSG match and hit a double and recorded 1 hit in 4 at-bats. It was sluggish. On this day, the batting order was adjusted to number 7.
Before the game, Hanwha coach Choi Won-ho said, “O’Grady definitely improved during practice. The production of hits is not good, but the timing is also good. I think he’ll get better if he loosens up a little… He said, “I got down to the 7th batting order to make it a little more comfortable.”
But even on this day, O’Grady’s bat was not cool. He repeatedly missed swinging at Lotte left-hander starting pitcher Charlie Barnes. In the first at-bat in the 3rd inning as the lead batter, he struck out on a swing after 4 pitches. He struck out with 3 misses on an outside slider.
In the 5th inning, O’Grady had a chance to run 1 out and 3 base. After lead hitter Choi Jae-hoon hit a double from the left, manager Choi Won-ho signaled a sacrifice bunt to Oh Seon-jin. Oh Seon-jin calmly carried out the operation and connected to 1st and 3rd base.메이저사이트
Even without a hit, a sacrifice fly or a ground ball could have tied the score 1-1. It was an at-bat that could have turned things around for O’Grady, but he kicked himself. He got a 3-1 advantage on the ball count, but couldn’t save it.

A full count match that led to 5-6 consecutive fouls. Barnes struck out again as the bat went round on the outside fastball on the 7th pitch. It is the 20th game for the first team this year, and there are 12 games with two or more strikeouts.
In the end, in the 8th inning, lead hitter Oh Seon-jin hit a double from the left, and was replaced with pinch hitter Park Jung-hyun at second base safely. After returning to the first team, O’Grady, who continued his sluggish performance with 1 hit in 11 at-bats and 1 walk in 3 games, with 5 strikeouts in 3 games, his batting average for the season also dropped further from 1.25 to 1.22 (9 hits in 74 at bats).
