KT Wiz Kang Baek-ho (25) is slowly showing signs of recovery. Although he was sluggish at the beginning of the season, he surpassed the .300 batting average with his characteristic ‘punching’.
Kang Baek-ho started as the number 2 designated hitter in the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League game against the Hanwha Eagles held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the 24th, and played with 3 hits and 1 RBI in 5 at-bats, contributing to the team’s 7-1 victory.
He turned the game around with a heavy hit against Ryu Hyun-jin in the top of the third inning when the score was 1-1. Afterwards, this hit became the final hit as KT did not suffer a comeback.
Kang Baek-ho added hits in the 7th and 8th innings, completing a 3-hit game. With his recent six-game hitting streak, his season batting average also rose to 0.308.
After the game, he said, “I am concentrating on getting on base and creating chances for the team’s winning streak,” and was happy, saying, “Yesterday and today, I gained more confidence as I was lucky with the opponent’s defensive position.”
He said he was trying hard to cheer up even in the dugout.
Kang Baek-ho emphasized, “I am actively encouraging the team to maintain a good atmosphere in the dugout,” adding, “Although the team is in the bottom tier at the beginning of the season, the pitchers are finding their condition and the hitters, including me, are working hard.”
He added, “All the players are working together as one to achieve good results. I hope the fans will show a lot of support as well.”
