(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Nam-jik Han = Even at the plate, or defending, the splendor of a major league star in America’s professional baseball is not seen at all.
The Kiwoom Heroes beat is on fire when he sees Addison Russell (26), who fell into extreme slowness in September.
Russell started as sixth batter and second baseman in the home game against the KIA Tigers, a professional baseball game held at the Gocheok Sky Dome, Seoul, on the 30th, but was stopped with no hits in 4 at-bats.
He also made a fatal mistake on defense.
Kiwoom led 2nd 2nd base 2-0 in the second inning, and Kiwoom’s starter Eric Yokishi led Park Chan-ho to a normal groundout at second base.
However, Russell caught the ball and hit a bad shot, tied to first base.
Kiwoom’s first baseman Jeon Byeong-woo missed this, and Park Chan-ho was judged safe, and second baseman Park Chan-ho stepped home.
Kiwoom, who gave up a point to no avail, was defeated 2-3.
Russell was at bat in the end zone twice, but was quietly hitless.
At the end of the first inning, which preceded 2-0, Russell only landed on third base. At the end of the fourth inning, which was a 2-2 draw, he came out with a missed swing at 1st and 2nd base.
At the end of the ninth inning, Russell ended up getting a groundout from second base to second base, and the game ended with Kiwoom’s loss.
In September, Russell was slow with a 0.196 batting average (19 hits in 97 at-bats) and 9 RBIs. I didn’t hit a single home run this month.
Even after defending just 202 innings, he made 11 errors, as did LG Twins shortstop Oh Ji-hwan, who played 937 innings.
Given that Russell is a young player with a brilliant career, the disappointment is even greater.
Russell was selected as a Major League Baseball All-Star in 2016 while playing for the Chicago Cubs of the U.S. Major Leagues, and was voted 19th in the regular season best player vote. Russell also contributed to the Cubs’ victory in the World Series that year.
Russell played 460 at shortstop and 149 at second base in the majors. His batting average was 0.242, 60 home runs and 253 RBIs in the major leagues.
It was the first time that a beast with a brilliant major league career like Russell made it to the KBO league in his early twenties.
But more and more days are disappointed with Russell.
