LG's Austin Hits 33rd Cycling Hit in KBO History

LG Twins foreign hitter Austin Dean has achieved the 33rd "hitting for the cycle" in the history of professional baseball.

Starting as the cleanup-equivalent number three batter and first baseman in a home game against the NC Dinos at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul, Austin hit a double in the fourth inning, a single to right field in the sixth, and a three-run home run over the left-field wall in the eighth.

Later in the bottom of the 10th inning with his team trailing 4-3, he came up as the leadoff batter and roared after hitting a triple that struck directly against the center-field fence.

Achieving a cycling hit—recording a single, double, triple, and home run all in a single game—is a rare feat, marking the first of this year and only the 33rd in league history.
