‘Exhibition Game Home Run King’ LG Song Chan-eui’s momentum is unusual. As a member of Geelong Korea, he challenged the Australian Professional Baseball (ABL), and as time passed, his bat became sharper. Now he leads the league in batting average.

Song Chan-eui is wearing a Geelong uniform and has a batting average of 0.384 in 23 games in the ABL in the 2022-2023 season. He pushed Australia’s Perth Heat catcher Alex Hall to second place with a batting average of nearly 40. Hall is ranked second in the batting average with a 0.367. Hall has been playing for the ABL since 2016. Chan-eui Song, who is unfamiliar with Australia and unfamiliar with Australian pitchers, is on the top of ‘Teojugam’.

He hit all four matches of the ninth round against Auckland’s Tuatara, which took place from the 12th to the 15th. He went 5-for-16 with three home runs. In the first game of the 9th round on the 12th, he recorded 2 hits in 4 at-bats with a multi-homer, 1 hit in 5 at-bats on the 13th, and added a home run again on the 14th, finishing the game with 1 hit in 4 at bats. In his 15th, he went 1-for-3.

After hitting three homers in the first round, the long-running power that had stopped for a while is exploding again. Song Chan-eui added 4 home runs in the last 7 games.

He hits long, but doesn’t strike out a lot. He is showing accuracy with 13 strikeouts and 8 walks in 23 games. In the 4th game of the 9th round against Oakland on the 15th, he picked two walks. This is where the opposing pitchers feel wariness.

Song Chan-eui was different from the start. He hit home runs in all his first three games and was selected as the best hitter in the first round, and in four games in the second round, he drove in a whopping 9 hits and became the best hitter for the second consecutive round. This is definitely good news for LG, which already has a success story from 먹튀검증 ABL-Geelong called Hong Chang-ki. There is another candidate who can fill the position of Chae Eun-seong, a right-handed hitter who is a 4th hitter and 1st baseman, who transferred to Hanwha, which is rare for the team.

Coach Yeom Gyeong-yeop also picked Lee Jae-won and Song Chan-eui as players to watch this season. Song Chan-eui is showing potential as a utility as well as a competitor at first base. He played different positions in all four matches of the ninth round. He played first base, right field, designated hitter, and left field.
