SSG Landers Choi Jung, the KBO League's new home run record holder, has only one left in his career record of 500 home runs. Choi Jung-eun hit her 499th home run against the Incheon KIA Tigers on the 10th??Afterwards, he failed to hit a home run in the first and second games of a doubleheader against KIA on Sunday.
SSG will play three consecutive games during the week against the NC Dinos at SSG Landers Field in Incheon from the 13th. Choi Jung is likely to achieve a record in the three consecutive NC games as there is only one left for 500 home runs. If it takes a little longer, we have to move on to the weekend match against Daejeon Hanwha Eagles.
The opposing team, NC manager Lee Ho-joon, also had a special relationship with Choi Jung. In 2005, when Choi Jung was a rookie, then head coach Lee Ho-joon was a senior hitter for the SK Wyverns. Since then, he has led the role of the SK dynasty together. He is a senior who watched Choi Jeong's growth more closely than anyone else.
Coach Lee Ho-joon, who is set to play against SSG on the 13th, said, `I hope Jung hits it quickly. Of course, my honest mind is not to play in the three consecutive games (with us), but I hope to play it when I play with other teams, " he said with a smile. At the same time, he added "Play when you are in a more relaxed situation, not when it is decisive," causing laughter.
Manager Lee Ho-joon, a career 337 home run hitter, also has a memory of '9'. Manager Lee said, `When I had one home run left for 300, I didn't hit a home run in 10 games. Even if I try not to care, it bothers me so much when I see the bouquet of congratulatory flowers prepared every day. At that time, manager Kim Kyung-moon was very considerate of the batting ball pitcher and took care of him a lot so that he didn't care about me"Jung has a different personality than me, so I'll do well without thinking about that."
