The Kiwoom Heroes, who were at the bottom of the league in the first half, completely transformed their batting lineup in the second half. With a high concentration when runners are on base, they recorded an average of 7.2 runs per game, ranking first in the league, and achieved a record of 8 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses with a winning percentage of 0.615, placing them third in the league during the same period. The acquisition of Matt Davidson, a powerful hitter from the NC Dinos, after releasing a foreign pitcher, has been a major driving force behind this change. Davidson is leading the batting lineup with a batting average of 0.387, 2 home runs, and 14 RBIs in the second half. In addition, Hyukbin Kwon, who had struggled offensively until the first half, has also revived with a batting average of 0.350 in the second half. With the expected return from shoulder injury of Keshton Hiura, Kiwoom's batting power is expected to be further strengthened.
