“Now is the starting point”.
Manager Kim Jong-guk praises Lee Woo-sung (29), an outfielder, whenever he talks about it. Since the 2022 season when he took the baton, Woo-sung Lee has been using it. Even if he is not the main player, he is useful as a backup agent. Still, since his debut in the 2022 season, he has been in the first team for 178 days, the most, and this year, he has not been left out of the first team entry since the opening.
He has a decent record of season 3 1/2, 4 homers, 14 RBIs and 18 runs. His slugging percentage has soared, recording a 4.6 2.4 on-base percentage, 3.7.5 Lee, and an OPS of 0.838. Since this debut, his slugging percentage and OPS have exceeded 0.800. He recently recorded a batting average of 3.6 and 1.0 in 10 games, showing the power of an unofficial .3 hitter.스포츠토토
He swings confidently at the plate. As his experience increased, the number of fights with pitchers also increased. He naturally got more long hits and added sophistication. Na Seong-beom’s absence due to injury is not felt at all. Director Kim applauded, “I’m doing very well now. If I do well until Na Seong-beom returns, my head will hurt.
” In hitting, he has long hitting power and accuracy at the same time, and is stable even on defense. He looks a bit dull, but contrary to his looks, he is good at both defense and running. Even though he was a catcher, he runs base and defense to the point of being startled.”

During the 2019 season, Lee Woo-sung wore a KIA uniform through a 1-on-1 trade with the NC Dinos. At that time, the counterbalanced batter handed to NC was Lee Myung-gi, a 30% hitter outfielder. There was a controversy over the fairness of the trade. The club explained that it was a recruitment to develop a young giant into a future central hitter, but it did not live up to expectations.
In the first year of his transfer, he had a batting average of 1.75, 3 home runs, 10 RBI, and an OPS of .541. A calf injury got in the way. Lee Myung-gi played an active role as a winning member. Lee Woo-sung was a backup after that. He was a first-team player due to his high utilization as a great defense, pinch runner, and pinch hitter. He always tried his best and showed great spirit. He always had a strong spirit of sacrifice, “I will do my best to help the team win.”
Finally, a career high record is expected this year. So far, the most hits in a season is only 40. He’s already hitting 37 this year. He is also poised to pass the most 6 home runs in a season. Seeing the light after 5 years of trading. In particular, he inherited number 25 from legendary batting coach Lee Bum-ho through Park Chan-ho. It is an activity that carries on Baebeon’s momentum. He has become a full-fledged main hitter. I made up my mind before trading.
The booming trend of Lee Woo-sung made outfielder Choi Won-jun, who was discharged on the 11th, move up to first base at the same time. Nonetheless, competition for the leading position is inevitable. Immovable outfielder Na Seong-beom will return at the end of this month after completing rehabilitation. Socratev Brito is also a built-in star. There is another 30% outfielder, Koh Jong-wook. However, if it is Lee Woo-sung now, it seems that he will not lose to anyone.
