He also wrote a new history for the LG Twins. Now he is becoming a legend, going beyond being a good son.
LG’s foreign hitter Austin Dean hit the first 30 home runs and 100 RBIs in LG’s history. He became the 87th player to record, but none of the 86 players who had previously won LG’s uniform. 스포츠토토
Austin has already topped the list with 107 RBIs. He had 28 homers, just two shy of his 30th. Still, he seemed to be able to achieve it within this season due to many games to be played. He hit two homers in a single day, and hit 30 homers in a heartbeat.
Austin led his team’s 7-0 victory with four hits and four RBIs in five at-bats, including two home runs against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 24th.
He has posted a batting average of 314 (ranking 13th), 138 hits (ranked 8th), 30 homers (ranked 4th), and 111 RBIs (ranked 1st). He has already surpassed the 23 homers and 95 RBIs recorded last year. He has displayed even better performance without jinx in his second year.
Austin, who was loved by fans as a “good son mercenary” by winning the Golden Glove for the first time as a foreign player by leading LG to the championship last year, is becoming a legend in two years.
The second season has not even ended, but it is already breaking LG’s all-time foreign hitter record. With 53 home runs in the past two years, Roberto Ramos has already exceeded Roberto Ramos’ 46 in 2020-2021. The number of RBIs reached 209 last year with 95 last year and 114 this year, and Jimenez has already surpassed 178 recorded in the three years 2015-2017.
He also had 301 hits in his career with four hits on the day, surpassing Jimenez’s record of 298. Now, Austin has the most hits, home runs and RBIs in his career as a foreigner.
LG is running towards its first ever RBI king. NC Dinos Matt Davidson, who is second in RBIs, has nine differences with 95 RBIs.
He has displayed tremendous power in hot August. He posted a batting average of 368 (28 hits in 76 times at bat) and nine homers and 29 RBIs in 19 games. With the current pace, he is capable of hitting 36 homers and 137 RBIs. The figure represents a challenge for Ramos, who has 38 homers, the most ever in LG’s history. With 137 RBIs, he can easily surpass LG’s record of 119 RBIs (2018 Chae Eun-sung and 2020 Kim Hyun-soo), the most in a season. This is an impressive record to tie for sixth place with the most RBIs in a season.
How will Austin, who swept 13 home runs and 41 RBIs in 31 games in the second half, be a legend for LG in the remaining 25 games.
