There could be no better scenario. The familiar three-run power of the LG Twins erupted from the bats of two promising right-handed sluggers.

On the 23rd, at Daejeon Hanwha Life Ballpark during a regular-season away game in the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League, LG took an 8-0 lead against the Hanwha Eagles in just two innings.

For this game, LG lined up with Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Park Hae-min (center fielder), Austin Dean (first baseman), Song Chan-ui (left fielder), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Moon Jung-bin (designated hitter), Koo Bon-hyeok (shortstop), Lee Ju-heon (catcher), and Hong Chang-gi (right fielder). The starting pitcher was Carlos Kara-sco.

Hanwha countered with Kim Tae-yeon (right fielder), Moon Hyun-bin (center fielder), Han Ji-yoon (left fielder), Kang Baek-ho (designated hitter), Noh Si-hwan (third baseman), Chae Eun-seong (first baseman), Heo In-seo (catcher), Lee Do-yoon (second baseman), and Park Jung-hyun (shortstop). Their starting pitcher was right-handed Park Jun-young, born in 2003.

At the center of this were LG's prized right-handed power prospects: Song Chan-ui (27) and Moon Jung-bin (23). The action began with Moon Jung-bin. In the top of the first inning, with LG leading 1-0, two outs, and runners on second and third base, Moon Jung-bin crushed Park Jun-young's first pitch—a forkball inside for a massive three-run home run over the left-field fence. The ball, traveling at 163 km/h, covered a distance of 120 meters. This was Moon Jung-bin's 15th home run of the season.

LG created another big inning. In the bottom of the second, Lee Ju-heon reached base on a hit-by-pitch, followed by Shin Min-jae drawing a walk and an error on the pitch allowing runners to advance to second and third with one out. Park Hae-min then delivered a sacrifice fly to center field for an RBI, making it 5-0. Austin Dean was then walked to fill the bases.

Here, Song Chan-ui did not miss Park Jun-young's fifth pitch—a mistake ball right down the middle—despite being ahead in the count 3 balls to 1 strikes. The ball Song Chan-ui hit soared 125 meters and lodged into the upper left-field stands. This was Song Chan-ui's 12th home run of the season, with a exit velocity of 175 km/h.

Consequently, Hanwha's pitcher on the mound changed from Park Jun-young to left-handed Hwang Jun-seo. Hwang Jun-seo induced Moon Bo-kyung into a ground ball to first base, ending the long second inning.
