The LG Twins players are ‘pure children’. I play baseball hard, but there are no players who stand out. They’re good players, but sometimes they don’t seem to have a strong fighting spirit. Foreign players did the same. All good players came.
It’s different this time. It’s full of fighting spirit that I haven’t seen lately. Austin Dean is blowing a new wind at LG.
Austin showed a sluggish batting average of 10.94 in the demonstration game, which gave rise to concerns, but after three games, it became known that the worries were unfounded. He was silent with no hits in the opening game against KT Wiz on the 1st, but on the 2nd he went 3 hits, 1 RBI and 2 runs in 5 at-bats, and scored 2 runs in 4 at-bats against Kiwoom Heroes on the 4th. In three games, he has a batting average of . 4.7 with 1 RBI and 4 runs scored.
In particular, in the game on the 4th, he showed extraordinary fighting spirit. In the top of the 4th inning with a lead of 1-0, Austin, who hit the middle left from first base, Kiwoom center fielder Kim Joon-wan threw to the shortstop to catch Kim Hyun-soo, who was running to third base, and Austin ran to second base in the meantime. And immediately after Oh Ji-hwan’s right-handed hit, he rushed home and succeeded in scoring. However, at this time, third base base coach Kim Min-ho gave Austin a stop sign. It was because he was well aware of Kiwoom right fielder Lee Hyeong-jong’s throwing ability. He was still a warrior, so he didn’t want to overdo it. However, Austin ignored the stop sign and ran to score. “The batter hit, so he ran to score,” Austin said.
In the beginning of the 7th inning, he showed an even greater fighting spirit. Kiwoom’s second pitcher, Byun Si-won’s body ball, was hit without avoiding it and ran to first base. However, he did not avoid the ball, but rather took a downward motion as if to be hit. This is the part where the will to get on base was revealed. Afterwards, when Park Dong-won hit at the right time, he stepped on the home plate.
Regarding baseball coach Yeom Kyung-yeop’s running, he said, “I’ve been playing like that,” and said, “I’ve been playing since I was young, and my father taught me to play baseball like that.” 안전놀이터
Austin was well aware of LG’s dark history as a foreign hitter from the training camp in Arizona. He said that the desire to break it acted as a burden and performed sluggishly in the demonstration game. Austin said, “I want to break that foreign hitter’s curse.”
If you show the fighting spirit that boosts the atmosphere of the team with the good looks you have now, the word foreign failure will no longer come out.
