Seongbin Hwang scored 2 hits and scored 2 points against LG on the 18th.

‘Runaway locomotive’ Hwang Seong-bin (27, Lotte Giants) shook up the LG Twins.

Seongbin Hwang started as the second hitter and center fielder in the 2024 Shinhan Sol Bank KBO League game against the LG Twins held at Jamsil Stadium on the 18th, and scored 2 hits and 2 runs in 5 at-bats.

Led by Hwang Seong-bin, who constantly showed off his presence at the plate and on the floor, Lotte defeated LG 9-2 and escaped an 8-game losing streak.

He ran without hesitation from the first at-bat.

With one out, Hwang Seong-bin, who targeted opposing starter Casey Kelly's change-up and singled to right, stole second base during Victor Reyes' subsequent at-bat.

He then jumped without hesitation on Reyes' infield hit to second base. Second baseman Shin Min-jae, who caught the batted ball, chose to play at third base, but Hwang Seong-bin circled third base faster than him and sprinted to home.

Seongbin Hwang, who made an unexpected 'runaway', was saved at home and scored the first goal. He hit a right-handed hit to Kelly even with one out in the third inning, leading 2-0. Kelly threw a check ball to first base to catch Hwang Seong-bin, who had a large lead. It was time for Hwang Seong-bin to be out, but as the check ball was missing, Hwang Seong-bin was able to advance to second base. Seongbin Hwang, who was caught with a pitcher's ground ball in the 5th inning with one out and runners on 1st and 3rd base when the team was up 2-2, got on base due to an opponent's error in the 7th inning when the team was up 3-2 with no outs on second base. He hit a ground ball to LG reliever Kim Yoo-young, but shortstop Oh Ji-hwan seemed to be aware of the quick-footed Hwang Seong-bin and was unable to catch the catch. Lotte continued to create chances. Victor Reyes also hit a grounder on first and third base with no outs. At this time, Shin Min-jae, who caught the batted ball, stepped on second base and tried to throw to first base, as if aiming for a double play. However, he failed to throw the ball as he collided with first base runner Hwang Seong-bin, who was sliding to second base. In the end, both the batter and first base runner Hwang Seong-min survived, and third base runner Dong-hee Yoon hit home and scored one more run. Lotte, who did not miss the chance to reach first and second base with no outs, added 5 more points in the 7th inning, completely dividing the game. Hwang Seong-bin, who shows off his courage and plays with enthusiasm, is sometimes at the center of controversy. In the game against the KIA Tigers on the 26th of last month, Hwang Seong-bin reached base with a heavy hit in the top of the 5th inning, then looked at KIA pitcher Yang Hyun-jong and made several moves to go to second base. Yang Hyun-jong could not hide his discomfort, and it was pointed out that Hwang Seong-bin was excessively stimulating the pitcher. On this day, Seongbin Hwang also engaged in a war of nerves with his opponent, Kelly. Seongbin Hwang hit a foul ball in his second at-bat in the third inning, ran all the way to first base, and slowly returned to the plate. At this time, Kelly, who had a dissatisfied expression on his face, said a few words to Hwang Seong-bin with an angry expression at the end of the inning. Starting with this, players from both teams poured onto the ground and bench clearing occurred. Fortunately, the conflict between the two teams did not escalate significantly.
