SSG Landers Han Yu-sum (34) blocked his team's three-game sweep with a decisive shot.
Han Yu-sum started the away game against the Kiwoom Heroes in the "2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League" at Gocheok Dome on the 30th and led his team to an 8-2 victory with one hit, two walks, two RBIs and one run from two times at bat, including the final solo home run. SSG, which lost two consecutive games even after starting pitcher Drew Anderson on the 28th and Kim Kwang-hyun on the 29th, escaped its losing streak with Han Yu-sum's performance.메이저사이트
Through Sunday, Han had a batting average of 0.182 (four hits in 22 at-bats), one RBI, and nine strikeouts in seven games this season without a home run. He struggled throughout the season with the determination to continue the rebound by hitting 24 home runs last year, but his pace was not good in the early days of this season. After drawing a walk at his first at-bat on the day, he ended up hitting a fly ball to right field in his second at-bat.
However, he showed off his unique power at the third batter's box at the top of the sixth inning when the score was 1-1. With no runners on base with two outs and a ball count of 1B-1S, Kiwoom starter Kim Yoon-ha's third pitch of 145 kilometers per hour hit a solo home run to the center of the wall. The flying distance was 125m. Kiwoom center fielder Lee Ju-hyung followed him to the end, but the powerful hit flew well over the fence in the deepest middle of Gocheok Dome. It was the first home run made by his 25th at-bat this season and the final shot of the day.
Han Yu-sum added an RBI single in his fourth at-bat in the top of the eighth inning when his team was leading 2-1. With no outs, he garnered a walk to push off Kiwoom's Jeon Joon-pyo. Since then, SSG has continued to lead the game to 8-1, with Park Sung-han (walking), Choi Sang-min (fit ball), and Oh Tae-gon (walking ball) pushing three consecutive hitters.
Han Yu-sum played as the fourth hitter in both the opening two consecutive games against the Doosan Bears on the 22nd and 23rd, but was not good enough as he had one hit in eight at-bats. In this three consecutive games, he played as the fourth hitter on the 28th and the sixth hitter on the 29th, and only had one hit in eight at-bats. Moreover, SSG's flagship batter Choi Jeong was out due to a hamstring injury, making it difficult to come up with the best batting order. "I think we need to keep making changes until (Choi) Jung returns," SSG coach Lee Sung-yong also said. In order to ease any worries, existing players have to show their ability to solve them, and fortunately, Han Yu-sum took a breather on the day thanks to his role in the fourth position.
SSG starting pitcher Moon Seung-won also showed stellar performance. He pitched six innings and two runs, but failed to secure a win against the Lotte Giants on Saturday, when he took the mound for the first time, but managed to secure his first win by allowing three hits, one homer, three strikeouts, and one run in 5.2 innings.
