After experiencing a slump in 9 games with a batting average dropping to 0.080, he hit hard with 3 hits and 4 RBIs in 5 at-bats against Doosan on the 15th.

KIA Tigers' main hitter Na Seong-beom (35) regained his hitting skills and signaled a revival.

Na Seong-beom started as the third hitter and right fielder in the '2024 Shinhan Sol Bank KBO League' game against the Doosan Bears held at KIA Champions Field in Gwangju on the 15th, and played with 3 hits in 5 at-bats, 1 home run, and 4 RBIs, leading the team to an 8-4 victory. contributed.

This is the best result achieved this season. He had multiple hits (two or more hits in a game) and three or more RBIs in a game for the first time this season.

Na Seong-beom showed his true potential and was responsible for scoring the team's first goal. In the third inning, when the team was down 0-1, with one out and one on first base, he hit Wonjun Choi's high slider and drew a two-run arch that went over the right-center wall.

Na Seong-beom, who got the sense, hit a forkball from right-handed bullpen Kim Myeong-shin in the 4th inning with the bases loaded and 2 outs, producing a timely hit to left for 2 RBIs. In the 6th inning with 2 outs, he continued the trend with a hit to the left side of the outfield.

Na Seong-beom, who suffered a hamstring (back muscle) injury in this year's exhibition game and spent about five weeks recovering, experienced ups and downs in the first nine games after returning. With only two hits, his season batting average dropped to 0.080.

However, after hitting a home run against Doosan in Gwangju on the 14th, Na Seong-beom hit a home run again on this day and began to show his true colors as a long hitter. His personal career home runs in the KBO League also increased to 253. Na Seong-beom's revival is good news for KIA, which has strong offensive power. KIA, which ranks first in team batting average (0.296), home runs (49), slugging percentage (0.453), and OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage, 0.824), has become even more powerful with Na Seong-beom, who plays a pivotal role, exploding. Moreover, he has improved the structure of his batting lineup. With Na Seong-beom joining the main batting lineup, Kim Do-young, who hit 11 home runs this season, can now focus on batting in the first or second batting order. Moreover, either foreign hitter Socrates Brito or .300 hitter Lee Woo-sung can be placed in the 6th batting order behind the main batting line. Na Seong-beom's performance is also an important key to maintaining the lead for KIA (26 wins, 16 losses), whose strength is fierce offense. Attention is being paid to whether Na Seong-beom, who has escaped from the tunnel of sluggishness, will be able to maintain a steady upward trend in batting. 성인웹툰
