One of the drawings drawn by KIA fans ahead of this season was the dynamics of the batters. Last year, Na Sung-bum’s recruitment and Socrates Brito’s smooth adaptation quenched some thirst for long hits, but the overall team’s dynamics were lacking. The scoring route itself was limited. Anyway, I had to hit, but I couldn’t light my bat every day.

It is predicted that it will be different this year. Players who can play, explosive players gathered in one place. I expected to be able to play baseball with a different taste from long balls. It was also worth looking forward to baseball, which drew up tactics and scored points in various situations. Ultimately, expectations for the completion of a true “nuclear strike” that combines long hits and mobility have grown.

Park Chan-ho , who is serving as the team’s starting shortstop, Choi Won-joon (26), who was scheduled to be discharged in June after completing his military service in the Armed Forces Sports Corps (Sangmu), and Kim Do-young, who was selected as the best fielder in the team ahead of this season. 20) was the ‘track and field trio’ that raised that anticipation. The three players had one thing in common: they boasted the best power in the league. Park Chan-ho and Choi Won-joon are both players with 40 stolen bases. Kim Do-young is also a future 40-base player who is recognized for his explosive power.

However, this ‘dynamic trio’ started later than expected. twisted from the start Kim Do-young suffered a foot injury in the opening series and collapsed. After playing two games in the season, he accepted a rehabilitation schedule of nearly three months. Choi Won-joon struggled for a while after being discharged. At the beginning of this season, his shoulder was not good, and there was an aftermath of not being able to bring normal momentum. Even his eldest brother, Park Chan-ho, who should hold the center of gravity in this trio, burned fans with a jagged appearance in offense and defense.

Park Chan-ho, who has been consistently playing as the team’s main shortstop for several years, has not been evaluated as a good defender and a good runner, but his scoring production in offense has not been evaluated very well. But over the past year, his appearance has begun to change. He also improved a notch in attack. His batting average (.272) in 130 games last year was his career best. His performance was not bad considering that his position was a shortstop.

However, the blow this year was too wide. His first 80 at-bats of the season had a batting average of just 0.181. Runners show their true value when they get on base. Park Chan-ho lacked that opportunity. In the 21st game in May, he made a great performance with a batting average of 0.381 and seemed to be on a stable track, but in the 23rd game in June he went downhill again with a batting average of 0.218. In particular, in the June schedule, along with the sluggish attack, he bowed his head due to frequent mistakes in defense, which is an advantage. His performance was deteriorating.

But recently, as expected, a dynamic trio of three is stirring up the arena. This is because Kim Do-young is back, Choi Won-joon is alive, and Park Chan-ho is making an outstanding performance in the second half. Park Chan-ho number 9, Choi Won-joon number 1, and Kim Do-young number 2 actively reached base and invited each other to create a route to score even if it was not necessarily the center line. It is one of the driving forces that KIA is showing a good blow recently.

KIA coach Kim Jong-guk is using a strategy of putting three players together separately from the batting order. On the 5th and 6th, against Hanwha in Gwangju, when some of the key players took a break, Choi Won-joon, Park Chan-ho, and Kim Do-young were brought out in the batting order. If there are slow players in the middle, the explosive power may be somewhat reduced due to the nature of baseball, which cannot overtake the preceding runner. But if you put it on, the effect is doubled. This is possible because they are not simply ticks, but players who can hit a double or longer hit at any time.

Even the players are excited. The runners in front and behind are all fast, so there are many things I can do. Choi Won-joon said, “It seems to be very fun. He has Chan-ho hyung in front and Do-yeong behind him. All three are runners who can run, and it is a situation where they can definitely put pressure on the opponent’s battery. That part is fun,” he said. “The condition of a strong team is to run a lot and go one more base. It seems to be proving that our team is a strong team little by little.”

The performance of the three players in the second half is good. In particular, his eldest brother, Park Chan-ho, is outstanding. He became the main player in leading the team’s dynamic baseball by creating chances with a contact-focused hit, harassing the battery, and going one more base with a single hit. Entering the second half, Park Chan-ho is making an outstanding performance with a batting average of 0.349, an on-base percentage of 0.442, a slugging percentage of 0.512, and an OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.954.

Choi Won-joon, who has been showing signs of reviving recently, is also recording an OPS of 0.871 while hitting long hits with more than doubles, and Kim Do-young is also gaining strength with a batting average close to 30% (.296) in the second half. It is a bonus that Kim Do-young steals 4 bases and Choi Won-joon succeeds in 3, putting pressure on the opponent’s battery. What’s even scarier is that behind them is Na Seong-beom, who is recording an OPS of 1.177 in the second half. The batting line that KIA fans expected is emerging with the normal operation of the ‘Dynamic Trio’.
