Lotte Giants 'One Club Man' Jeon Jun-woo has reached 2,000 hits in his professional career.

Jeon Jun-woo had his 2,000th career hit in Game 2 of the Weekday Series against the Kiwoom Heroes at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 4th.

Jeon Jun-woo, who had 1998 hits until the game, started as the fourth designated hitter on the day.




At the bottom of the third inning with Lotte leading 1-0, he hit a hit that fell to the left-center with one out and one base, leaving only one left on his dream 2,000 hits. Left fielder Won Sung-joon threw his whole body, but the ball hit the glove and became a hit. Lotte added one point with Yoon Dong-hee's sacrifice fly in the second and third bases with one out.

Jeon Jun-woo's 2,000 career hits came in the bottom of the seventh inning, trailing 3-6. Kiwoom pitcher is Lee Jun-woo. Leadoff hitter Reyes got on base with a hit that divided three periods, and the next batter, Jeon Joon-woo, hit a delightful double that hit the left fence. Unfortunately, the 2000th hit was slightly short of a few centimeters before it became a home run.

Jeon Jun-woo's 2,000 hits were his 20th in the KBO League and his 8th as a right-handed hitter.




This is Jeon Jun-woo's 2,000th hit in his career. It is the 20th record in KBO league history and the 8th record for right-handed hitters. He is also the sixth player to join a college.

Jeon Jun-woo, a high school and Konkuk University graduate, joined Lotte in the second round (15th overall) in the 2008 rookie draft.

He has been active as a one-club man even after two FA contracts for 18 years so far this year. All 2,000 hits were recorded only in Lotte. He had a three-digit hit in 13 of the 16 seasons except for the service period of the National Police Agency baseball team. He ranked first on the most hits in 2018 (190) and 2021 (192). In particular, 192 hits are tied for third place for right-handed hitters in a single season.




Jeon Jun-woo's first career hit was a left-center double against Bong Jung-geun, playing as a pinch hitter for Park Ki-hyuk against the LG Twins on September 3, 2008. The 1,000 hits were against Lim Chang-yong of the KIA Tigers on October 12, 2018, and the 1,500 hits were against Kim Yoon-sik of the LG Twins on October 15, 2021.

Jeon Jun-woo is the ninth player to record all 2000 of the 20 2,000-hit legends in one team. Earlier, Lee Seung-yeop, Park Han-i (Samsung), Park Yong-taek, Lee Byung-kyu (LG), Kim Tae-kyun (Hanwha), Lee Dae-ho, Son Ah-seop (Lotte), and Choi Jung (SSG) had 2,000 hits in One Club.
