For two consecutive days, he recorded 2 hits in 4 at-bats, but his season batting average continues to drop. Just how well is he hitting?

Ryu Hyun-in, who played for the KT Wiz and is now serving in the military at Sangmu, is showcasing a crazy batting pace in the Futures League with a batting average over .500.

On the 20th, Ryu Hyun-in started as the third baseman in the second game of the doubleheader against the SSG Landers at the 2025 Futures League held at the Ganghwa SSG Futures Field.

In his first at-bat after two outs in the first inning, he hit 3 foul balls and was retired on an 8th pitch fly ball to right field. In the top of the 4th inning, after one out, he reached base with a hit that went over the third baseman's head. After walks from Han Dong-hee and Kim Jae-sung, the bases were loaded with two outs, but Oh Tae-yang was retired on a fly ball to right field, preventing a run.

Sangmu created a bases-loaded chance with a double from Jeon Gi-san, a walk from Kim Hyun-jun, and a walk from Jeong Eun-won in the top of the 5th inning. Park Chan-hyuk struck out on a full count, bringing Ryu Hyun-in back to the plate. Against Jeong Dong-yoon, he hit the third pitch in a 1-ball, 1-strike count, sending it over the right field fence for a grand slam. That was his 5th home run of the season. Following that, Han Dong-hee hit back-to-back home runs (his 7th of the season).

In the 6th inning with one out and one on base, he was retired on a ground ball double play to the second baseman. The game concluded after 7 innings as part of a doubleheader, with Sangmu winning 9-2. The earlier game of the doubleheader was canceled due to ground conditions.

Ryu Hyun-in performed well that day with 2 hits in 4 at-bats, 1 home run, and 4 RBIs. However, his batting average fell from .531 to .529.

Ryu Hyun-in also recorded 2 hits in 4 at-bats and 1 walk in the game against SSG on the 18th. His batting average slightly decreased from .533 to .531. Over two days, he hit 4 hits in 8 at-bats, but his batting average continues to drop from .533 to .531 to .529. It is a testament to his high batting average over .500.

Ryu Hyun-in has recorded 19 games in the Futures League with 68 at-bats, 36 hits (batting average .529), 5 home runs, 26 RBIs, 23 runs, 17 walks, 5 Samjin, an on-base percentage of .616, slugging percentage of .838, and OPS of 1.454. As of the 21st, he is excelling with the top batting average, most hits, tied for 5th in home runs, 2nd in RBIs, and 2nd in runs in the Futures League.

Ryu Hyun-in, who became known for appearing on the variety show "Strongest Baseball" during his time at Dankook University, was selected by the KT Wiz in the 7th round at 70th overall in the 2023 draft. In his debut year, he participated in 17 games in the first team and had a batting average of .130 (3 hits in 23 at-bats). In the 2024 season, he played only in the second team before entering military service at Sangmu last June.
