NC chose ‘batting order flow’ instead of ‘strong number 2’… Success through efficient baseball
Park Geon-woo, ranked 4th in league batting average, is placed at numbers 3 and 5.
“Because Park Min-woo is number 1… it is more efficient for a player who can compete with the pitcher to take number 2.”
It is a trend in world baseball to place the team’s most powerful hitter in the second batting order.
In the past, a hitter with good operational ability would be placed at number 2 and a slugger would be placed at number 3 or 4, but recently, many teams are using players with both batting and slugging ability as number 2 hitters. 파워볼사이트
A representative example is the Los Angeles Dodgers of the Major League Baseball (MLB).
The Dodgers are fixing Shohei Ohtani, who leads the league in batting average, home runs, and most hits this season, in the second batting order.
In domestic professional baseball, the KIA Tigers, ranked first, uses Kim Do-young, who shows off his recently improved hitting skills, as the second hitter.
KT Wiz, which is on the rise recently, also uses Kang Baek-ho, who ranks first in the league in home runs, RBIs, and most hits, as number 2.
On the other hand, there are teams that go against the trend(?).
The NC Dinos, ranked second in the KBO League, have not used Park Geon-woo, who ranks first in the team in batting average and fourth in the league in batting average, as the second hitter even once this season.
At the beginning of the season, he was placed at number 5, but recently he has been placed at number 3.
Instead, Kwon Hee-dong was used as the number 2 hitter at the beginning of the season, and recently, Son Ah-seop has been used as the number 2 hitter.
There is a reason.
NC coach Kang In-kwon met with reporters at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 7th and was asked, “Do you have any plans to use Park Gun-woo as number 2?” and responded, “I was concerned.
However, in the current team situation, it is best to place Park Geon-woo as number 3″ He said.
