If I had to pick the best decision the Hanwha Eagles made last winter, I think it would be the recruitment of outside FA (free agent) Chae Eun-seong카지노. Team officials who faced Hanwha this season are unanimous. The Eagles lineup with Chae Eun-seong has become stronger. The effect of recruiting Chae Eun-seong is neither temporary nor fragmentary. It is evaluated that the entire batting line has been changed.

Gwangju KIA Tigers game on the 11th. In the 6th inning, leading 1-0, Chae Eun-seong hit a season 3 1-run home run against ‘great pitcher’ Yang Hyeon-jong. When I met Yang Hyeon-jong last year, I had a hard time. No hit in 7 at-bats. The first two at-bats of the day also came down with a bum hit.

He was different in his third at-bat. He shook Yang Hyeon-jong, who had been fighting hard until the 5th inning, with a home run. It showed that the Eagles’ central batting line is not lethargic.

He is steady with no ups and downs. In the away Samsung Lions match on the 6th, just his opening 4 games, after hitting his first home run, he hit 3 homers in 5 games. He also produced 7 consecutive hits from the second game of the opening series against Kiwoom Heroes on the last two days. He had an RBI in 5 of 8 games played.

As of the 11th, batting average 303.3 (11 hits in 33 bats), 3 homers, 10 RBIs, on-base percentage 0.421, slugging percentage 0.667. He is tied for first place in home runs and first in RBIs alone. He has 5 team home runs, hitting 3 of them. He was responsible for a third of the team’s 32 RBIs.

With a runner in scoring position, he went 3.85 (5 hits in 13 at-bats). Foreign hitter Brian O’Grady’s sluggish performance made it stand out even more.

Various records seem to say aloud that at this point, the top 4 batter in the KBO league is Hanwha.

Chae Eun-seong posted a total of 444 RBIs for 5 years from 2018 to 2022 as a member of the LG Twins. During this time, he averaged 89 RBI per year. He seems to have improved his concentration after moving to Hanwha. It may be because, as a veteran, as a key hitter, the responsibility has increased.

“I know the role I have to play,” he says.

In November of last year, he signed a 6-year, 9 billion won contract. Hanwha got a solid 4th hitter with a solid investment.
