I think I was able to come to Burn and become the RBI king."

Austin Dean is one of the lucky ones for the LG Twins. Austin, who was the first foreign player to receive the Golden Glove by leading the team to win last year's championship, became the first RBI king in the history of LG with 132 RBIs this year.토토사이트

With a batting average of 319, 32 home runs and 132 RBIs, he was also listed as the first LG batter to hit .300-30 home runs-100 RBIs.

When asked how he felt during an interview during a training camp in Icheon to prepare for the semi-playoff, Austin joked, "I was asked to increase my RBI a lot, but now that 144 games were over, I didn't have to ask for such a request anymore," adding, "I understand what the king means to LG clubs and fans. It's meaningful that he became the first LG player to have 30 home runs and 100 RBIs. What I want to thank are my teammates. As much as the players believed in me, I wanted to repay them."

He cited his familiarity with the improvement of all batting indicators, including batting average, home run and RBI, from last year. "They were the first pitchers I saw last year because it was my first time," Austin said. "I was able to do it with more confidence in offense this year because I knew what kind of pitchers they were playing and what style of baseball they were playing," he said. "Team members, fans, and the team environment helped me do better what I can do here."

Austin started as the fourth hitter like last year, but moved to the third hitter in the second half of the year. Moon Bo-kyung was in the fourth. When he was interviewed shortly after moving to the third, Austin said, "I prefer the fourth hitter more." Will he still feel the same way.

No. "At that time, I played all four times and suddenly went to number three, so I thought that number four was better," Austin said. "But when I went to number three, Hong Chang-ki, Shin Min-jae, and Moon Sung-joo kept getting on base in front of me, and I thought I could get an RBI. That's why I was able to score 132 RBIs."

Austin had a batting average of 296 (95 hits in 321 at-bats) and 18 homers and 72 RBIs in 86 games through July 9, when he was the fourth batter, and since July 10, when he was the third hitter, he has had a batting average of 354 (73 hits in 206 at-bats) and 14 homers and 60 RBIs in 54 games. He had 0.84 RBIs per game when he was the fourth hitter and 1.11 RBIs when he was the third hitter.

When asked if there was anything that came to mind in last year's Korean Series, he said, "I remember it was so cold that I could die and the fans cheered me up. I want to go up again this year and play baseball with such support."

Now, I was thinking about meeting KIA in the Korean Series while playing the semi-playoff. Austin said, "I think we can go up enough if all of our players come back from injury now and keep our health as we are now," adding, "It's important not to get nervous by going up to the Korean Series, but we're a team that has experienced it, and I think KIA will feel more pressure because it's been a long time since KIA went up."

Now, Austin will play semi-PO with KT. In this season's game against KT, he played in 15 games and posted a batting average of 333 (19 hits in 57 at-bats) with 15 RBIs. He hit 32 home runs this season, but failed to record any homerun in the pro baseball league. He thus failed to hit a homerun only in the game against KT.
