The batting performance in the last five games is quite serious. This is the story of NC Dinos catcher Kim Hyung-joon.토토사이트
Kim Hyung-joon started as the 7th catcher of the game against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 3rd and helped his team win 13-4 with three hits (one home run) and two RBIs and two runs from four times at bat.
As a leadoff hitter in the second inning with his team leading 2-0, he hit Lotte starter Park Jin's third slider to post a solo shot over the left fence. It was his seventh in the season.
Kim Hyung-joon, who stepped down with a fly ball in the second at-bat, came out as a leadoff hitter in the top of the sixth inning with his team leading 5-4 and hit a left-handed hit after the game to the ninth pitch to replace Kim Kang-hyun.
Kim Hyung-joon's hit was the starting point for the team to run away. After that, the gap widened to 8-4 with consecutive timely hits by Han Seok-hyun and Kwon Hee-dong following Kim Hwi-jip's double.
He hit a timely hit at his fourth at-bat, which he encountered with runners on second and one out in the seventh inning, to complete a three-hit game. He then replaced Park Se-hyuk to end the game.
Kim Hyung-joon has displayed impressive batting performance recently. He had six hits in 18 at-bats for five games, hitting a batting average of 0.333, three homers and on-base percentage of 0.368, and posting a whopping 1.312 OPS.
NC Kim Hyung-joon hits an RBI double with no outs and a runner on second base in the top of the second inning of the "2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League" match between NC Dinos and KT Wiz at Suwon KT Wiz Park in Gyeonggi Province on the afternoon of April 9, 2025.
Coach Lee Ho-joon laughed at Kim Hyung-joon's hard hit, saying, "I feel so good."
In the meantime, he expressed his affection for Kim Hyung-joon. He also had strong trust.
Manager Lee said, "There is only one thing I want from Hyungjun. A catcher has a role to play even if he strikes out and plays double play. He always told me to smile when I come in after striking out. I always see Hyungjun's face when I come in after striking out. He is crushed again. When I say 'laugh,' I forcefully smile."
Why did he say this? "When I was a coach, when Hyeong-jun was struck out when he was young, I would collapse," coach Lee said. "I have a weak mentality. You can't hear me no matter what I say. That's why I got angry," he said. "I have a sensitive side to him." As soon as I came here (as a coach), I asked him to come in brightly because I thought it would be okay to strike out all four at-bats or double play. It will hurt my feelings when I come in after being struck out. Then there could be an error," he explained.
What head coach Lee Ho-joon wants from Kim Hyung-joon is more the role of the catcher. "If you keep one inning scoreless, it's like scoring one run. If you score nine scoreless innings, you will get nine points by yourself," Lee said. He is still saying that. Hyung-jun is really good at following him. If this part goes well, he will do better. I am paying more attention to the mental part than to the technical part."
As head coach Lee Ho-joon has performed his request well, Kim Hyung-joon's bat has recently survived, which is a great help to NC's batting lineup.
