Kang Han-ul (Samsung infielder), who has been called “Park Jin-man’s man” since August last year, is getting longer. He is constantly getting opportunities to play, but shows no signs of recovery, and he does not work even in the so-called “FA Lloyd.”
Kang Han-ul, who had a batting average of 2.41 (20 hits in 83 at-bats) and six RBIs and 12 points in 49 games until July last year, appeared in 45 games since acting coach Park Jin-man, batting 3.71 (53 hits in 143 at-bats), one home run, 20 RBIs, 19 runs, and three steals.
On September 29th, Kang Han-wool played the first 4 times in the Daegu NC game and took on the heavy responsibility for the first 4 times of his debut.
Manager Park Jin-man said, “Originally, he was a player with sufficient qualities. There was talk about the environment around him and the play itself. I think I feel the importance of each at-bat.”
Dubbed ‘Park Jin-man’s man’ and showing his best performance since August, he sweated hard throughout the winter to continue the good flow this season. His motivation was clear as he earned his first free agent status after the season.
But I’m more disappointed than I expected. As of the 22nd, he has played in 67 games and has a batting average of 0.201 (42 hits in 199 at-bats) with 10 RBIs and 29 points.
After suffering from a severe slump with two hits in 23 at-bats and a batting average of 8.07 in April, he could not escape the slump with 1.82.02 (4 hits in 22 at-bats) in June following 2.11.01 (12 hits in 57 at-bats) in May. In July, he seemed to rebound with a batting average of 3.4 (16 hits in 47 at-bats), but this month he failed to continue his upward trend with a batting average of 1.6 (8 hits in 50 at-bats).
In particular, he has been hitless in three consecutive games since the match against KIA in Daegu on the 19th. In the match against Hanwha in Daejeon on the 22nd, he played 7 times as a third baseman and stepped down with a fly to third baseman, a fly to left fielder, and a strikeout, and Samsung’s batters heated up in the second half. He ranks first among 10 clubs with a team batting average of 307. Most of the main hitters are on an upward curve, but Kang Han-wool is an exception.
Kang Han-wool rarely gets out of the swamp of slump. He should prove himself that it was no coincidence that he performed so brilliantly last year that he was called “Park Jin-man’s man.”
