A promising power hitter who fully met fans' expectations. LG Twins' Moon Jung-bin (23) secured a comeback with a massive home run that made even Jamsil Stadium look small.

On the 18th, at Seoul Jamsil Baseball Stadium during the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League regular-season home game against KT Wiz, Moon Jung-bin started as the seventh hitter and first baseman, hitting a two-run homer to center field in his first at-bat.

The situation was the bottom of the second inning with LG trailing 0-1, two outs, and a runner on first base. Facing Matt Sauer, Moon Jung-bin swung and missed repeatedly at outside low cutters and curveballs. However, he waited calmly for the right moment. Moon let go of two outside cutters from Sauer and did not miss the high fastball that came in flatly.

It was a distance that made even the vast Jamsil Stadium look small. The ball, traveling at 174.6 km/h, flew 137 meters toward the central stands of Jamsil Stadium. This was Moon Jung-bin's eighth home run of the season.

Moon Jung-bin, who has been getting regular first-team opportunities this year, is already hitting his fourth home run at Jamsil Stadium, which is half of his seasonal total. That is one home run for every 11.5 at-bats out of 46 at-bats.

LG's lineup that day was Hong Chang-ki (right fielder)-Park Hae-min (center fielder)-Austin Dean (designated hitter)-Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman)-Song Chan-ui (left fielder)-Oh Ji-hwan (shortstop)-Moon Jung-bin (first baseman)-Park Dong-won (catcher)-Shin Min-jae (second baseman). The starting pitcher was Im Chan-kyu.

In response, KT's lineup was Choi Won-jun (designated hitter)-Kim Hyun-soo (first baseman)-Ahn Hyeon-min (right fielder)-Sam Hilliard (center fielder)-Heo Kyung-min (third baseman)-Kim Min-hyuk (left fielder)-Kim Sang-su (second baseman)-Han Seung-taek (catcher)-Kwon Dong-jin (shortstop). The starting pitcher was Matt Sauer.
