"We're doing more than 100% of the roles we wanted."

Kiwoom Heroes coach Seol Jong-jin smiled at the performance of new foreign hitter Trenton Brooks (31), who is swinging hard. This is because the team continues to play "super jackpot" on both sides of offense and defense, showing the standard of leadoff that the team expected.

Asked about Brooks ahead of the home game against the LG Twins at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul on the 4th, head coach Seol Jong-jin said, "It's what we wanted. It was a role that he lived a lot in No. 1 and gave chances to No. 2 and No. 3. In the previous day's game (3rd), he expressed satisfaction, saying, "I played that role more than 100%."

Regarding Brooks' forward deployment as the first batter, he said, "As he has a good ability to pick a ball, I hope he will play a role in connecting opportunities to the central lineup. An Chi-hong also explained, "It's because I have a good feeling in the central lineup."

Brooks, who started as the first batter and first baseman in the home opener against LG on the 3rd, led the lineup with four hits, two runs and one RBI from four times at bat. It's early in the season, but the figures are very good. He played in all six of the previous games and recorded a batting average of 0.444 (12 hits in 27 at-bats) and a six-run OPS (on-base plus slugging) of 1.060. The batting average of the scoring position reaches a whopping 0.400, and there are as many as three multi-hit (more than two hits) games. It is the sixth consecutive hit streak since the opening game against the Hanwha Eagles in Daejeon on March 28. In other words, he hit a hit in the entire game.

Head coach Seol also praised Brooks' joining in encouragingly that the team's on-base ability improved. However, this season's Kiwoom still has zero team home runs. In response, head coach Seol Jong-jin said, "Compared to last season, the team's batters' walking ratio and pioneering eyes have improved, creating many chances for scoring. I think it will come out when it's time for a home run. This is because it doesn't come out just because you're told to hit a home run. "The batters' appearance has improved compared to last season," he said.

Meanwhile, Kiwoom has set up a starting lineup in the order of Brooks (first baseman), Lee Ju-hyung (middle fielder), An Chi-hong (designated hitter), Choi Joo-hwan (third baseman), Park Chan-hyuk (right wing), Eo Jun-seo (striker), Kim Gun-hee (catcher), Park Joo-hong (left wing), and Park Han-gyeol (second baseman). Compared to the game on the 3rd, Lee Hyung-jong is out and Park Joo-hong will play as a starting player.
