Seongju Moon (27, LG) had a frustrating time last April. Empirically, it is a time when grades should be good, but that was not the case this year. His batting average in 25 games last month was only 0.253.
He is Moon Seong-ju, who had a batting average of 0.433 in April 2022 and 0.349 in April 2023. It is clear that he did not have a good start to the new season. He confessed, “I think this is the first time since I became a pro that the beginning of the season was this bad.”
Moon Seong-ju, the leading figure in LG's 'unified championship' last year, achieved a batting average of 0.294, 132 hits, 24 stolen bases, 77 points, and an OPS of 0.764 in 136 games. As a member of the 'defending champion', he wanted to continue to perform well this year.
Moon Seong-ju, who was worried about baseball not going as planned, got out of the slump in time after receiving various advice from 'captain' Kim Hyun-soo and others.
He said, “Last year, the pace dropped a lot in the second half. “(Kim) Hyunsoo told me, ‘I think I’m doing this to play well consistently this year.’”
Moon Seong-ju, who gradually gained insight by recording multiple hits in the game against Jamsil KIA on the 26th of last month, started as the second hitter and right fielder against Jamsil SSG on the 8th, and had 2 hits in 3 at-bats, including a sweep triple with bases loaded and 1 out in the bottom of the 5th inning when the team was down 1-5. He played well with 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored.
LG achieved an 8-5 comeback victory thanks to Moon Seong-ju's performance. LG manager Yeom Kyeong-yeop, who emphasized the importance of the second batting order before the game, said, “Moon Seong-joo was able to bring about the overall flow of the game by taking advantage of the opportunity to load the bases.”
Seong-ju Moon said, “I didn’t feel bad in a situation where the bases were loaded,” and “since he had already hit the floor once, he turned the bat with confidence.”
LG currently has a winning percentage of 0.514 (19 wins, 2 draws, and 18 losses) this season. This is not a very satisfactory performance for last year's winning team.
Seongju Moon said, “I know expectations are high because I won last year. “It’s not even halfway through yet, and there are many pitchers who will return, such as (Baek) Seung-hyeon and (Ham) Deok-ju,” he said, adding, “We’ve hit bottom now, and I think we’ll go up further.”
Moon Seong-joo's batting average, which reflects the results of the game on this day, has already reached 0.309. LG's ranking is 5th, which is the postseason Maginot line. The bottom of a champion is different no matter what
