Along with the hitting slump, the burden on Jamsil Stadium has been added. Kim Jae-hwan (38, SSG Landers) left Jamsil and moved to SSG Landers. He remained silent with no hits in 10 at-bats, but eventually opened the door with a home run. It was a possible home run because it was SSG Landersfield.

Kim Jae-hwan started as the fourth designated hitter in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League home game against the Kiwoom Heroes at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 31st and hit a three-run home run by pushing Yoon Seok-won's 140km/h outside fastball with one out and runners on the first and second bases in the bottom of the seventh inning.

With this shot, SSG secured its victory by widening the gap from 4-2 to 7-2.

Kim Jae-hwan, who became the home run king by hitting 44 home runs while using Jamsil as a home run in 2018, hit 276 home runs in his career, but has fallen into a slump in recent years.

Among them, using the home of Jamsil Stadium, the largest, came as a burden. Kim Jae-hwan wanted to make a turning point in his career through transfer. It moved to Incheon for up to 2.2 billion won for two years.

In the opening series, he fell into a slump with no hits in eight at-bats and five strikeouts, but manager Lee Soo-yong said, "No, it will come out. Since Incheon is his home stadium, he is a little greedy, but he will find composure and hit well if he gets a hit or a home run."

"The pitchers pitched too hard and there were not so many balls to hit," he said. "Then, it seems that he has a lot of thoughts because it's a little late for a real pitch." I told him to keep his composure, it was okay. He knows that he only needs to get one. I know I have to pick out the bad ball, but I told him to hit only what he can hit comfortably. I think we played 2 games now. We have 142 more games to play."

In the first two at-bats, he grounded out to first base in a row. Kim Jae-hwan, who entered the batter's box with runners on the second and third bases with no outs in the sixth inning, hit a big hit to the left and scored his first RBI since moving to a sacrifice fly.

Did he get the hang of it. Kim Jae-hwan, who had no hits in 10 at-bats, worked in the bottom of the seventh inning. Coincidentally, the ball hit the top of the left wall and went over. The flying distance was recorded as 105 meters, but if it were Jamsil Stadium, it would not have gone over.

Kim Jae-hwan impressed SSG fans by decorating his first hit with a home run. Kim Jae-hwan himself is able to start a strong start to the leap forward this season with a pleasant home run.
