KIA Tigers veteran Choi Hyung-woo (40) decorated a page in the history of the KBO League.
Choi Hyung-woo hit a double from the right side of right field as the lead batter in the bottom of the second inning against the Lotte Giants at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 19th. In the match against Lotte starting pitcher Hyun-Hee Han, a low and fast ball rolled to the fence, and while Lotte right fielder Jack Rex’s catch was delayed, he landed on second base.
With this hit, Choi Hyung-woo recorded 464 doubles in his career, surpassing Lee Seung-yeop (now coach of the Doosan Bears) and writing the most in the division.메이저사이트
Choi Hyung-woo, who was nominated by the Samsung Lions in the 2nd 6th round of the 2002 rookie draft, wore a KIA uniform as a free agent in 2017 and helped the team win that year. He played an active role as a representative hitter in the KBO League, recording double-digit home runs for 15 consecutive years from 2008, when he became a main player in the first team, to last year.
Until this day, Hyung-Woo Choi had a good start with a batting average of 2.93 (11 hits in 37 at-bats) and an OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 0.773 in 11 games. Unlike last season, when he struggled with extreme sluggish batting, he is producing good batting balls from the beginning of this season, serving as the central axis of the sluggish team’s batting line.
