He played for the Seibu Lions of the Japanese pro baseball in this season. He recorded 17 homers, 53 RBIs and 53 runs scored in 127 games with a batting average of 259 (or 120 hits in 464 times at bat). “As a right-handed hitter with good batting skills and excellent contact skills, McKinnon has the advantage of being able to secure stable first-base defense and third-base defense,” the team said.
“Based on his sincere training attitude and Japanese baseball experience, he is expected to quickly adapt to the KBO League,” he said, adding, “We expect McCannon’s joining to secure diversity in infield management and further strengthen the center batting line.”
If McKinnon does as rough as he can, it will greatly improve the team’s performance. Roughly was Samsung’s fourth batter for three years from 2017 and served as a troubleshooter. His overall record was .31 with 467 hits, 86 homers, 350 RBIs and 267 runs. He hit .300 with 30 homers and 100 RBIs in his first year since debut. He also topped the list with 124 RBIs in this category.
Rough did not have a jinx in his second year. He had a batting average of 33167 hits, 33 homers, 125 RBIs and 97 points. In his third year, he recorded a batting average of 292 with 138 RBIs, 22 homers, 101 RBIs and 80 runs. Rough was no longer with the Samsung Lions, but had the opportunity to return to the big league.
Samsung failed to produce any hitters with 20 home runs this season. It is the first time in 15 years that Samsung has recorded 0 hitters with 20 home runs since 2008. Kang Min-ho and Jose Pirella tied for first in home runs with 16 home runs.
I wonder if McKinnon, newly added, will be able to show his true value at Daegu Samsung Lions Park, a batter-friendly stadium.안전놀이터
