Finishing RBI with headfirst sliding… Austin “Dedicated to the team again this year”

Headfirst sliding carries a high risk of injury.

However, it is a symbol of passion that clearly shows the runner’s earnestness.

The same was true for the fighting spirit that second-year foreign hitter Austin Dean (LG Twins) showed in the NC Dinos game held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 3rd.

In the bottom of the first inning, with two outs and a runner on third base, Austin hit a ground ball in front of the shortstop and then boldly slid headfirst to first base. 카지노사이트탑

Meanwhile, the runner on third base hit home, and as the game ended 5-0, this RBI became the final RBI.

Austin played well on this day with 3 hits and 2 RBIs in 4 at-bats.

His season batting average rose from 0.257 to 0.308.

Austin, who we met after the game, looked back and said, “I haven’t been able to get hits lately, so I wanted to hit, and he also wanted to help the team.”

He said, “I want to show dedication and passion to the team like I did last year,” and “I’ve been a little hesitant lately, but now I’m trying to get back to where I was last year and continue the season.”

Last year, he showed the best performance among foreign hitters from 10 teams, but he did not seem to have a complacent attitude.

Austin posted a batting average of 0.313, 23 home runs, and 95 RBI in 139 regular season games last year, and played a big role in the Korean Series with a batting average of 0.350, 1 home run, and 5 RBI, contributing to LG’s combined championship.

When asked if he felt a sense of rivalry with other foreign hitters such as Yonatan Peraza (Hanwha Eagles) this year, Austin shook his head.

Austin said, “I have no sense of rivalry and my goal is to avoid the second-year jinx. Since the opposing team knows how to deal with me, I also have to find a new way to respond.

If all goes well, I will be able to laugh off the bad April.” I expected it.

He said with a smile that he keeps the first base Golden Glove he received last year in his Korean apartment, saying, “I put it out of the reach of my son, who is a troublemaker.”

He said, “I put it on display with gifts from Korean fans.
