“We are going to attack aggressively.”
KIA Tigers outfielder Na Seong-beom led a 5-1 victory by shooting a two-runner that put a wedge in the 7th team victory in the 7th game of the season against KT Wiz in the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO League held at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 9th.
Na Seong-beom started the season late due to a left calf injury. However, Na Seong-beom is performing his best as the main gun of the team as soon as he returns. In 12 games, he is batting .353 with 18 hits, 6 home runs, 12 RBIs and 11 runs scored. His OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) reaches a whopping 1.161.
In particular, he scored 4 hits in 3 consecutive weekend matches with KT. He has only 3 home runs out of 4 hits. In the 8th, he hit a home run and drove in another 5 runs. He leads the KIA lineup with a sense of hitting that does not cool down. 토토사이트
KIA coach Kim Jong-guk also praised after the game on the 9th, saying, “Today, Na Seong-beom hit a valuable home run that decided the game.”
After the game, Na Seong-beom said, “After yesterday (8th), when the team needed an extra point, a home run came out. “I am doubly happy to be able to continue the team’s winning streak,” he said.
He added, “It’s good to hit well in each at-bat, but I always think that it would be nice if only one came out at an important moment.”
KIA, which once fell to ninth place, succeeded in rebounding through this 9-game series of expeditions. Excluding one game that was canceled due to rain, they achieved a good record of 6 wins and 2 losses. With 5 consecutive wins and a successful sweep against KT, the ranking was raised to 6th place. It is one game away from 5th place NC Dinos and two games away from 4th place Lotte Giants.
Na Seong-beom said, “Recently, the team is on a winning streak. He talked about continuing the good atmosphere in the squad as much as possible. It's so nice to have that kind of mind come together and win 9 consecutive away games, until the last day. The goal is to continue the current atmosphere until the end of the first half.”
