Hwang Dae-in (29), who played as a young slugger of the KIA Tigers, has begun to spread his wings again. He has been hitting hard in real life after passing through a long injury tunnel. He started as the fourth batter and first baseman in the 2025 professional baseball Futures League game against KT Wiz at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 20th, and led the team to a 7-0 victory by recording two hits and two RBIs, including the first-place finisher.온라인바카라
He has a batting average of 462, seven RBIs and three runs scored in the second division with an OPS of 1.087. As he has played in 10 games, there are few samples to be taken. However, he is considered the most speedy among the players in the second division by showing off his flagship ability to perform one-hit and two-base hits with his perfect body. He also had two hits on the day to advance to the third base. "I have to play hard," he said with a smile.
He garnered high expectations due to his young capability, but failed to display potential, and thus achieved career high in the top tier team for the 22nd season. He played in 129 games and played 529 at-bats. He had a batting average of 256, 14 homers, 91 RBIs, 40 runs and an OPS of .716. He had high expectations on up to 20 homers, but played in only 60 games this season due to sluggish performance and injury.
The 2024 season was prepared for the season in the second-tier camp, not the first-tier spring camp. His position has also weakened due to the increased number of first baseman resources including Lee Woo-sung, Byun Woo-hyuk, and Seo Geon-chang. At the exhibition game, he joined the opening entry by ranking first in home runs and RBIs, but he left the game after three games due to a hamstring injury. Since then, he failed to advance to the first division and watched the team win the regular league and the Korean Series title in the second division.
Although he volunteered to participate in the final camp last year, he returned home midway due to elbow pain, and was unable to participate in this year's first and second-tier spring camps and prepared for the season as a residual in Hampyeong. After complete rehabilitation, he has finally started practicing since the 10th, showing off his good batting performance and appealing to his promotion to the first team. If the first-tier lineup is in a slump and maintains a steady batting condition, there is a possibility of receiving a call-up for the first-tier team.
Hwang Dae-in, whom I met at Champions Field on Tuesday, said, "I am thinking of getting on base with long hit in my head. I did not play for long. Rather than big swing, I should produce results and gain confidence. I think I was okay thinking about getting on base and hitting. I am worried because I did not get a long shot, but I will come back when I get a sense of it. I also need to play hard. I am trying to maintain my physical condition."
"It was tough after I got hurt. I think I had a good experience and I'm preparing well. "I overplayed the game for no reason. I didn't show anything last season. I volunteered to show something in the final camp, but it was bad. I had a camp in Hampyeong this year and it was really good. I had a lot of time for myself and talked to coaches while staying at the dorm. I also made a good body."
He is not impatient about call-ups for the first team either. "The coach (Jin Gap-yong) trains me every hour after games these days. It was hard at first, but I am getting better balance after playing. I am doing it positively. If I think about wanting to advance faster, I get impatient and it is not good for me. I am sharpening my sword thinking that I will catch it when the opportunity arises someday," he said with a smile.
