He asked KIA manager Beom-Ho Lee to move him to the lower batting order during his meeting.

Manager Beom-Ho Lee accepted his opinion.

Park Chan-ho, who was placed in the 9th batting order, swung his bat with a fierce momentum.

He recorded a batting average of 0.390 in May.

Manager Lee Beom-ho judged that Park Chan-ho had found his confidence and gave him the role of the 1st batter again.

But perhaps it was because of the burden of being the leadoff hitter?

Chan-Ho Park faltered again in June with a monthly batting average of 0.255.

Manager Beom-Ho Lee readjusted Chan-Ho Park’s batting order, and Chan-Ho Park, who was moved down to the lower batting order, is exploding again.

He played as the regular 9th batter from the 25th of last month to the 9th of this month, and had a great performance with a batting average of 0.353 in 8 games.

Park Chan-ho, who started as the 9th batter and shortstop in the away game against LG Twins held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 10th, confidently swung his bat.

In the top of the 9th inning, when the score was 0-2, he came out as the leadoff batter and hit a left-center double against LG's closing pitcher Yoo Young-chan, creating a clue to a comeback.

KIA tied the game in the top of the 9th with Choi Won-jun and Choi Hyung-woo's timely hits, sending the game into extra innings.

Park Chan-ho hit another decisive hit in the top of the 10th inning with 1 out and runners on 1st and 3rd bases, when the score was tied 2-2.

He became the hero of the comeback hit with a sacrifice hit to center field.

Park Chan-ho, who played both the role of table setter and key hitter in the 9th batting order and led the team to a 5-2 comeback victory, smiled brightly after the game.

He said, "Actually, when I started the 9th inning attack, I thought it would be difficult to turn it around, but I felt that if I just got on base, the strong hitters behind me would take care of it," and "I was extremely focused before I even got to bat, and I'm glad that I got a good result."

Regarding the reason for his performance in the 9th batting order, he said, "When I go into a game as the 9th batting order, I focus on defense and feel that hitting is a 'bonus,'" and "I think that being able to hit without pressure actually leads to good results."

If Park Chan-ho continues his current streak, he could even aim for his first Golden Glove award.

Although his chances of winning last year were slim, he promised after attending the Golden Glove Awards ceremony, "I will definitely attend again as an award recipient someday."

Park Chan-ho said about this, "I don't have time to think about the Golden Glove right now," and "It's difficult to play for a team with championship potential, but I absolutely don't want to miss the opportunity to win."
