LG veteran infielder Kim Min-sung 35 will be called up to the first division. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop met with reporters ahead of the away game against the KIA Tigers at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 8th and said, We are trying to raise Kim Min-sung.
Kim Min-sung played in 70 games this season, batting .288 53 hits in 184 at-bats, four home runs and 31 RBIs. 스포츠토토핫 Kim Min-sung, who served as a utility infielder who played all infield positions without a clear position before the season, entered every vacancy and showed better-than-expected performance.
When Oh Ji-hwan was out due to a side injury at the beginning of the season, he came out as a shortstop and hit well with a good defense, and later came out as the main second baseman when Seo Geon-chang was out due to a slump. It was Kim Min-sung who stood there when first baseman Austin Dean and third baseman Moon Bo-kyung needed a break. He played as a major defense because he played a stable defense anywhere in the infield, and when a left-handed pitcher came out, he also played as a pinch hitter. Kim Min-sung, who plays the role of a joker that can be used in a useful way.
Unfortunately, he started as a second baseman against the KT Wiz in Jamsil on July 5, but was replaced because he felt uncomfortable with his thigh in the top of the fourth inning, and was excluded from the first division on the 6th after muscle damage in front of his left thigh was found. It was expected to take about four weeks to return, and Kim Min-sung played in the Futures League game against the Lotte Giants on the 4th. His batting performance is not so good, with one hit in 11 at-bats and three strikeouts in three Futures League games.
Coach Yeom said, He says he’s okay, but his batting sense doesn’t look so good in terms of his performance, but added, I’m going to put him in the first division to adjust to the atmosphere. It is interpreted that LG will adjust to the first division because there is no Futures League game this week.
If Kim Min-sung plays normally in the first division, right-handed hitters such as Kim Min-sung and Lee Jae-won and Son Ho-young can take a break when the opponent’s left-handed selection comes out. In addition, Kim Min-sung can be hired without hesitation when Moon Bo-kyung or Shin Min-jae need a break. Utility personnel who are essential to LG, which is running first, will return. It is a definite plus factor.
