At the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on Tuesday, a rubber band was tied to Yasiel Puig's legs. Oh Yoon, the hitting coach, gave feedback after checking Puig's movements. Puig also nodded. The batting performance was good. However, the actual match is important.스포츠토토

Puig started the game against the Doosan Bears in Gocheok on the day as the fifth designated hitter, and had one hit in four at-bats (one homer), two RBIs, one run and two strikeouts. He hit a home run at his second at-bat in the bottom of the third inning with his team leading 2-0. When Doosan left-handed starter Choi Seung-yong had a ball count of 2B1S and a 114km curve, he pulled the ball and hit a two-run shot to the left.

Still, he is not in his normal condition. In the second inning, Choi Seung-yong's fork ball was clearly out, but his bat followed and struck out swinging. In the eighth inning, he was also struck out swinging on a high-course bend. It was just like he was slightly smeared on ABS. Still, it was normal for the bat not to go out if it was a ball of that course.

Puig had a batting average of 0.204 with four homers, 14 RBIs and 14 runs scored, and an OPS of 0.614 with a batting average of 0.222, or seven walks. Some argue that it is better for Kiwoom to return to a two-man foreign pitcher system in the long run, and Puig has no choice but to sacrifice himself. However, Hong said, "The season is only one month away," adding, "We are not at a stage to discuss success or failure."

For now, it is time to wait for Puig's productivity improvement. Recently, Puig practices batting with a rubber band wrapped around his leg. If the center movement is performed in advance before the heating point is formed, the balance will collapse. Puig, a former major leaguer, cannot be unaware of this. However, it is always difficult to keep the basics.

Puig said, "I have swung and missed a lot due to bad balls. Today, I decided to hit only the ball that came into the zone. I tried hard not to miss the actual pitching, so I got a good result. I really think I only try to hit the ball that comes into the zone at bat."

The effect of wearing a band was already confirmed by home runs. Puig said, "I trained with the band on. I trained myself to improve my batting performance. Oh Yoon-ho, the batting coach, advised me that I am leaning too far forward now. And I encouraged him to have confidence because he is doing well enough. As many people believe in me, I want to repay that trust."

Coach Hong Won-ki ultimately saw that Puig had to take the leadoff to put pressure on the opponent. However, as Puig's sluggishness continues, he recently took the batter's box as the fourth and fifth batter. This is also an important batting order, so it motivated Puig.

Puig continued his stellar performance in the second half of the 2022 season until the second half and the postseason. We need to watch him with a long breath. "I'm sorry I didn't show good results in the game. I'll try to show better performances in the future," he said.
