  • KT Wizโ€™s Kim Min-hyuk hit .206 in 14 August games after batting .314 in 62 games during the first half of the season.
  • He rebounded to a .353 average over six September games and returned to the heart of the lineup.

Kim Min-hyuk endured a difficult August for KT Wiz, batting .206 in 14 games. The slump stood out because he had hit .314 over 62 games in the first half of the season.

In September, however, Kim recovered his form. He hit .353 in six games and again contributed from the upper part of the lineup. The article asks whether the sharp turnaround owed to more than the teamโ€™s 480 million won investment and the competition for the most hits.

Choi Won-jun was not good last year either.
