March was a nightmare for the Doosan Bears. With only two wins (six losses) in eight games, the Bears fell to the bottom (10th) alone for the first time under the 10-team system. The departure of the pitching staff, which had been solid support for the past season, including Hong Geon-hee, Lee Byung-hun, and Choi Ji-gang was also painful, but the team's poor batting average was only eighth (0.223) and ninth (22 points) in scoring, all the more regrettable.스포츠토토

All the factors that were expected before the opening turned into anxiety factors. It was not easy to produce points due to the lack of destructive power in the batting order of the 4th and 5th (0.207th and 7th place), and the 6th (0.179th and 8th place). Yang Eui-ji (38) was the fifth batter and Yang Seok-hwan (34) was the sixth batter, who were the "constant" of Doosan's batting line, so the hit was inevitably bigger. To make matters worse, even No. 4 hitter Jake Cave, who seemed to be recovering his batting sense, was excluded from the first-tier entry on March 31 due to symptoms of body aches, which further reduced the weight of the batters.

Fortunately, Doosan's Yang (Yang Seok-hwan and Yang Eui-ji) punch has revived in April. Yang is particularly amazing in his performance. He had a batting average of 0.526 (10 hits in 19 at-bats), three homers and eight RBIs in five games in April. He shares the top monthly hit with Kang Min-ho of the Samsung Lions. Compared to March when he only had a monthly batting average of 0.231 (6 hits in 26 times at bat), he is now in a state of complete chaos. Thanks to Yang's performance, Doosan also had four wins (one loss) in five games in April. Notably, at the match against the Sajik Lotte Giants on Sunday, he hit a two-run homer in the top of the eighth inning when the team was tying 12-12, and hit two hits, one homer and five RBIs in six times at bat. It was also significant that he ended Doosan's 17-game losing streak on Sunday.

Yang Eui-ji, who only had a batting average of 0.174 (four hits in 23 at-bats) in eight games in March, also had a batting average of 0.333 (seven hits in 21 at-bats) and seven RBIs in five games in April. He hit a three-run homer in the game against the Kiwoom Heroes in Jamsil on Tuesday, and since then, he has completely recovered by posting a batting average of 0.438 (seven hits in 16 at-bats) in four games. He is also responsible for leading pitchers. He has displayed stellar performance as a top catcher who is armed with both balls and throws. He is not excited at all despite his team's upturn, but still maintains his composure by saying, "I only focus on winning."

Doosan posted the highest batting average of 0.328 in April, spearheaded by Yang Seok-hwan and Yang Eui-ji. Compared to March, the team saw its batting average rise by more than 10 percent. Their combined batting average of 0.204 (10 hits in 49 times at bat) in March also more than doubled to 0.425 (17 hits in 40 times at bat) in April. The eighth-ranked team in ERA (4.91) remains unstable, but they have become accustomed to winning thanks to the revival of their batting lineup. The stronger the batten of Yang Seok-hwan and Yang Eui-ji goes, the higher the probability Doosan will win.
