Four consecutive wins, four home runs, and 10 RBIs’ triple-A
Martin started as the fourth center fielder against Hanwha in Daejeon on the 22nd and led the team to a thrilling 7-5 come-from-behind victory with multiple home runs. There was Martin’s home run at the beginning and end. Martin, the leadoff hitter in the top of the second inning when it was 0-0, pulled Hanwha starter Felix Peña’s fastball over the right fence.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, when the score was 4-4. NC failed to finish the inning with catcher Park Se-hyuk’s foil from Kim Tae-yeon’s strikeout not out, allowing a painful reversal. The heat of Hanwha fans in Daejeon heated up. However, NC did not give up until the top of the ninth inning.
With Son Ah-seop’s right-handed hit after one out and Park Kun-woo’s right-handed hit after two outs, two outs and runners on first and third bases. Martin pulled Park Sang-won’s third pitch, a forkball that was 131km high. At the moment of being hit, the ball is large enough for NC dugout teammates to run out. It was a three-point turnaround in the 125m. Thanks to Martin’s decisive shot, NC added two consecutive wins at the end of the first half and two consecutive wins in the second half, winning four consecutive games. Including the winning home run, 2 hits in 5 at-bats, 4 RBIs and 2 runs scored.
NC’s uptrend is coupled with Martin’s recent uptrend. During the four-game winning streak, he hit eight hits in 19 at-bats, four home runs, and 10 RBIs in every game. In the last game of the first half, Lotte led the victory with two hits, five RBIs and three runs in four at-bats, including multiple home runs. He batted .287 with nine home runs and 38 RBIs in 56 games this season. He has a .300 batting average and a double-digit home run. The slugging percentage is .478 and the on-base percentage is .369. The figure indicates that he is a batter with both power and sophistication. Martin, who tied for first place in Triple-A home runs last year, was a rising star to quench his thirst for home runs. However, he was reduced to an ugly duckling due to the delay in adapting at the beginning of the season. He even had a ruptured side muscle.
The first two months were hard on my mind. He played only four games in April, hitting two hits (0.222) in nine at-bats and one home run. He was not good in May either. He batted .239 in 18 games with one home run and seven RBIs. However, since June, when the number of at-bats exceeded 100, he gradually adapted to Korean baseball and began to change.
Following a .34 batting average and three home runs and 15 RBIs in 23 games in June, he has four home runs and 14 RBIs with a .341 batting average in 11 games in July. In July, the OPS exceeded 100% with a batting average of .683 and a .44 on-base percentage. Martin’s solver instinct explosion is the sparkle of NC’s top batting line. A chance created by a trio with a career batting average of .300 leading to Son Ah-seop, Park Min-woo, and Park Kun-woo. Martin is more likely to work it out. the completion of a terrifying top-line with nowhere to be avoided. At that point the new fixer Martin stands tall.
