The Doosan Bears ended their 17-game losing streak Sunday with a shot by Yang Seok-hwan (34). Doosan beat the Lotte Giants 15-12 on the road at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on the 6th. With the victory, Doosan ended its 17-game losing streak Sunday, which continued from the match against the Gwangju KIA Tigers on May 26 last year.
At the center of the losing streak was the lineup, which scored 15 points. Yang Seok-hwan took the lead. Starting as the fourth batter and first baseman on the day, he made two hits (one homer) in four times at bat (one homer) with five RBIs and two runs scored.
All RBIs played a decisive role in the flow of the game. Yang opened the game by hitting a timely hit when he had an opportunity to run on the second and third bases with no outs in the top of the third inning when his team was losing 0-5. He then hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded with no outs in the top of the fourth inning. The team's batters, who exploded led by Yang, turned the tables for the first time in the top of the fourth inning. The final shot was also Yang's. He swung Park Se-hyun's first slider at 12-12 in the eighth inning to complete the come-from-behind victory with a two-run shot to the left. It was a long period of intense struggle.먹튀검증
Yang Seok-hwan said in a broadcast interview after the game, "My teammates tied the game before I entered the batter's box. "I wanted to hit a long shot, which is my strength, but the goal hit well," he said. "I played a hard game from the beginning of today, but I kept on scoring points that I followed right away. I thought, 'I won't lose if I go to the end.' I think the fact that I didn't give up until the end led to a good result."
His performance is not limited to that day alone. In 12 games this season, Yang has a batting average of 0.356 (16 hits in 45 at-bats), three homers, nine RBIs and six runs scored, and an on-base plus slugging percentage (0.380) is 0.980. He ranks first in batting average, home run, hits, slugging percentage, and on-base percentage in his team, as well as second in RBIs and on-base percentage.
His early season performance deserves a reprieve from last year's disappointment. Yang posted career-high performance last year, with 34 homers and 107 RBIs. However, his batting average (0.246) and on-base percentage (0.316) were low, and his productivity (wRC+) was only 104.5 (based on statistics). Even though he had 30 homers and 100 RBIs, his productivity was only at the league average (100).
His performance this season is full of nutritionists. He has a batting average of 0.429. Notably, he led the team's batting average of 0.526 (10 hits in 19 at-bats) with three homers, eight RBIs and a slugging percentage of 1.105 in five games over the past week. Although there are only 12 games to play, the WRC+ also rose to 155.6 due to improved contact. "I haven't changed anything technically. I went back to the beginning and thought, 'Let's do what I'm good at,' but I think I got a good result," Yang said.
Amid Yang Seok-hwan's stellar performance, Doosan's batting average is also slowly gaining momentum. Doosan was mired in poverty with a team batting average of 0.223 (eighth), 22 points (ninth), and 0.581 (eighth) in OPS in March. Last week, however, Doosan topped all five games with a batting average of 0.328 with a 42 point and an OPS of 0.910. Its team ranking, which finished 10th (two wins and six losses) on March 31, also jumped to 5th (six wins and seven losses).
