"This is through training."

LG Twins' Hong Chang-ki also hits a lot, but in addition, he has a high on-base percentage as he walks a lot as an excellent pioneer. So, he won the on-base king three times in 2021, 2023, and 2024.

Hong Chang-ki suffered a knee injury in the Kiwoom Heroes match on May 13, and senior Park Hae-min must have received the pioneering plan as a gift.




Park Hae-min's walk is remarkably increasing.

Park Hae-min had 42 walks by the 23rd. The first place is Moon Bo-kyung of the same team with 50 picks, NC Kwon Hee-dong is second with 46 and SSG Park Sung-han is third with 45. Park Hae-min is tied for fourth with Kia's Choi Hyung-woo with 42.

He had 44 walks in 2022, his first year at LG, 45 in 2023 and 46 last year, but this year he has only played 74 games, just over half of the season, but he has taken about a year's worth of walks. It is clear that this is a remarkable performance.




Perhaps that's why the on-base percentage is 380, which is an all-time record for him, even though the batting average is not good at 256. Last year, the on-base percentage was 336, and in 2022, when the batting average was 289, the on-base percentage was 347.

Park Hae-min also added three hits and one walk to get on base four times against Doosan in Jamsil on the 22nd, and contributed to his team's 13-5 victory with three RBIs and one run.

He said that the increase in walks was the effect of selecting balls he would hit and balls he would not hit through training. Park Hae-min feels this year that `this is through training. As I trained, I felt that the strike zone was small, and I felt that I didn't have to hit a ball that was out of the way because the zone was small."




The batting also seems to be improving. Park Hae-min, whose batting average remained at .227 until April, improved slightly to .244 in May, but is on a steep rise to .321 in June. The on-base percentage rose to a whopping 463 in June.

There is another good thing for Park Hae-min. KBO was named the All-Star Best announced on the 23rd. With 1,123,682 fan votes and 164 team votes, he ranked third in the Nanum All-Star Outfielder category after NC's Park Gun-woo and Hanwha's Floral with a total score of 36.26 points. Even if the batting is improving, Park Hae-min was selected as an All-Star despite his poor batting average of 256 this season, thanks to his defensive ability that everyone recognizes. Now, even though we've played about half of the season, there are a lot of famous scenes coming out.

Park Hae-min once kicked a home run ball at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon, where the All-Star Game will be held, and turned it out. On April 30, he followed Chae Eun-sung's two-run home run ball in the second inning against Hanwha, then stepped on the fence and jumped to catch him. Mr. All-Star with a great defense in the All-Star Game.
