The exhibition game of the KBO League is nearing an end. Players should also be on track to get back on track for the opening of the regular season. Austin, a foreign hitter in his third year of the KBO League, also seems to be in good shape before the opening.

Early in the exhibition game was not good enough. He had a hit at the match against Suwon KT on Saturday. He had no additional hit until the match against Sajik Lotte on Sunday. He had a batting average of 0.100 and one hit and one walk for three days, showing lackluster performance.

After a day off, he recovered at the match against Samsung Electronics in Daegu on Wednesday. He had three hits in five times at bat. He also made his first long hit. He hit two doubles.

He even hit a home run in the match against the Munhak SSG on Saturday. At the top of the fourth inning when the score was tying 1-1, he hit the first pitch by Drew Anderson, the opponent team's starter. He garnered a home run with a batting speed of 151 kilometers per hour and a driving distance of 105 meters. He garnered two hits and five RBIs, including the home run on the day. He produced one hit and one RBI again on Sunday.

He made his debut in Korea in 2023. He had a batting average of 0.316, 55 homers and 227 RBIs. He was recognized for his performance. He became the first baseman of the Golden Glove in his first year. The following year, Austin was also the hero of the same category.

This is the core of LG. The same applies to LG this year. With the opening of the regular season just around the corner, not only the sense of hitting but also the fact that its slugging capability has revived is good news.

Coach Yeom Kyung-yeop was also satisfied. After the game against SSG, when Austin hit a home run, Yeom said, "I have elevated my batting performance as a center hitter. I think I am well prepared."

Austin is also very determined. His goal for the 2025 season is to play for his team. "I feel great to have received the Golden Glove for the past two years. As I always say, however, I prioritize my team. I want to do well as a first baseman that will help my team. I always mean it to my team and wish the team good luck," he said.

Manager Yeom praised Austin's performance and stressed, " (Park) Dong-won and (Shin) Min-jae are out of condition, and it is important to improve their condition through the rest of the exhibition games."

As Yeom said, LG's batters are not impressed at the exhibition games. This is why Austin's performance, which produced long balls every day, is even more welcome.
