"I started the season at third base. I had a good early start. Since then, I have lost the sense of hitting. Manager Lee Seung-yeop (49) has entrusted Kang Seung-ho to second base again. He says he has not changed much. Still, he is comfortable. Perhaps this is why he is gradually getting a sense of hitting.안전놀이터

Kang started as the seventh and second baseman at the game against LG during the 2025 KBO League regular season held at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on Sunday. He showed strong performance. He hit two doubles. He also has three RBIs. He led his team win the game first.
Kang Seung-ho was third baseman this season. He wanted to fill the vacancy of Heo Kyung-min, who left as a free agent. Early in the season, the mood was good. Soon, he lost his batting sense. He had a batting average of 0.200 and an on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.596 before the game.

Lee chose to change his defense position. He sent Kang Seung-ho, who used to watch second base mostly until last season, back to his familiar position. He didn't get much better. Still, he showed signs of improvement. And it finally went off properly in the game on this day.
When his team was losing 0-2, Kang hit the first and second bases with no outs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Kang Seung-ho hit the first pitch of Choi Chae-heung. He started chasing after him by hitting a timely hit. He then aimed for Kim Kang-ryul's first pitch in the bottom of the sixth inning. He called two runners home. He sealed the victory with a timely hit that led to a 5-2 run.

After the game, Kang said, "It was a little bad when I was playing third base. Now when I was playing second base, I'm getting better. I don't think it's because of my defense. Psychologically, I haven't changed much." He said, "I was playing second base for a long time. It's true that I'm used to it."
"Coach Cho Sung-hwan and coach Park Seok-min asked me where I liked them. They said they were both the same, but they told me to choose only one. That's why I chose the second baseman," he said with a smile.

Although he says he has no significant impact, his results are good anyway. Moreover, Oh Myung-jin, who suddenly moved from the existing second baseman to the third baseman, will continue to play. He also had three on base, including two hits, in the game. The defense seems to have no problem. It is going according to the best scenario.
"(Oh) Myung-jin has so many good abilities. As far as I know, he has good shoulders. That's why I think I can see enough third baseman," Kang said, encouraging his junior.

He is now able to defend more comfortably on the familiar second base. On top of that, the hitting is showing signs of revival. Doosan's deep infield seems to be gradually resolved.
