NC Dinos outfielder Son Ah-seop, 35, is looking to win his first batting title.

Son is batting .339 (106-for-313) through 25 games and is currently leading the KBO this season.

Since his debut in 2007, Son has posted triple-digit batting averages 12 times in the last 16 seasons. However, he has never led the league in batting average. He finished second in batting average twice (2013, 2020) and third in batting average twice (2012, 2014). This year is different, as he just missed out on the batting title.

Son is on a six-game hitting streak as of the 25th. After hitting .375 in June, he’s been on fire in July with a .413 batting average (25 days). In his last 10 games, he’s batting .462 (18-for-39) with two home runs. He’s the team’s No. 1 hitter, and he’s doing a great job of it.

It’s worth noting that, despite his consistent hitting, Son tried to change his batting stance ahead of this season. After hitting .277 last year, he didn’t want to rest on his laurels.

During the off-season, Son traveled to the United States at his own expense to work on his batting stance at a baseball academy run by Heo Il, a coach he worked closely with during his time with the Lotte Giants, and former major leaguer Kang Jung-ho. “I found my normal swing trajectory at this time,” he said, and he rebounded this season.체스카지노

NC coach Kang Myung-ho also hopes Son will win his first batting title. “I think he prepared well during the offseason. It’s not easy to modify your batting stance. He stuck to his guns despite the changes. He deserves to win the batting title.”
