  • LG Twins infielder Moon Bo-kyung, who faced criticism and calls for demotion during a batting slump, has broken out of his slump.
  • Moon attributed his improved performance to "night special training" and a return to fundamental "eye-balling" hitting.
  • The team secured a victory against the KT Wiz, with starting pitcher Tolhurst contributing to the win.

LG Twins infielder Moon Bo-kyung, once a celebrated hitter for the WBC national team, has finally emerged from a severe batting slump that drew criticism and calls for him to be sent to the minor leagues. Moon credits his resurgence to "night special training" and a return to fundamental "eye-balling" hitting techniques.

"The night special training was helpful," Moon stated, acknowledging the hard work he put in during his slump. The intensive training sessions, coupled with a focus on making better contact with the ball, have paid off. This renewed approach has allowed him to regain his confidence at the plate.

The positive turn in Moon's performance coincided with the LG Twins' victory over the KT Wiz on August 19 at Jamsil Baseball Stadium. Starting pitcher Tolhurst played a key role in securing the win for the team, marking a successful outing following Moon's breakthrough.
