"I can't score by hitting it all the time...."

Park Chan-ho (30, KIA Tigers), who will be eligible for FA after this season, showed the essence of baseball in the match against Incheon SSG Landers on the 10th.

He came out as a leadoff hitter in the top of the first inning, hit a double, and stole third base with a stolen base. After that, he gave the team the first run by stepping home with a sacrifice fly.




In the top of the third inning, the leadoff runner was caught with a grounder to shortstop with one out and one base, but he immediately stole the bases and relieved his disappointment, and in the sixth inning, he drew a walk and stole second base once again. As Park Chan-ho continued to play active base runs, SSG was eventually shaken. The ball fell out while checking Park Chan-ho at second base, and Park Chan-ho settled to third base. In the end, he scored once again as a sacrifice fly to right field continued. It was a score that went from 1-0 to 2-0.

In the top of the eighth inning with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, he continued his chance. KIA took a 4-2 lead due to Wizdom's intentional four pitches, and the opponent's error from Kim Do-young's at-bat and Choi Hyung-woo's sacrifice bunt.

While giving up a run in the bottom of the eighth inning, Park Chan-ho played his part perfectly by hitting a sacrifice fly on the second and third bases in the top of the ninth inning. In the end, KIA won the game 5-4.

It's a game where Park Chan-ho's 'Jurusho' shone. KIA manager Lee Bum-ho also applauded. Manager Lee was a good player who played like that, but after injuring his knee in the beginning, he restrained himself a little"I think baseball is like this only when we pursue it. You can't score by hitting at any time"(Kim) Do-young's hamstring is a little more complete, so if he runs, he'll go back a little more stable" he said.

As for Adom Oler, who pitched 112 pitches in six innings as a starting pitcher the previous day (10th), he said he could throw more after exceeding 90 pitches by the 5th inning. Then, he said he would not exceed 110 pitches, and decided to reduce the number of pitches in his next appearance. If the runner had left, I would have replaced him"There are times when bullpens fit together now, but there are times when it's not good. He explained, "If I hold out one more inning, I thought I could definitely be better if I stopped three or four innings, so I made him throw more."
