SSG Landers Choi Jung stepped on the 2,300-hit mark.

Choi Jung-eun started as the 3rd designated hitter in an away game against the NC Dinos at Changwon NC Park on the 6th. Choi Jeong, who struck out in his first at-bat, hit a hit in the top of the third inning.

Choi Jung-eun, who faced NC starter Riley Thompson in the absence of a two-out runner, recorded a hit in front of left field in 2B2S. After that, he stepped home when Han Yu-sum made a timely hit.




It was Choi's 2,300th hit in his professional career. He, who has been on a three-digit hit streak for six consecutive seasons from 2019 to last year, will be able to record his 2,300th hit this season as his 31st hit.

It is the sixth record in KBO League history and the first record for a right-handed hitter. Son Ah-seop (NC), an active player, holds the record for the most hits in KBO career. Son Ah-seop hit 2,578 hits by the 5th, and Choi Hyung-woo (KIA) ranked second in all time, with 2,536 hits by the 5th.

Retired Park Yong-taek (former LG) is in third place with 2,504 hits, and Kim Hyun-soo (LG) is in fourth place with 2,473 hits. Choi Jung is expected to soon break the record of retired Yang Joon-hyuk (former Samsung). Yang Joon-hyuk retired after recording 2318 hits, and Choi Jung will be the only one to move to fifth place if he hits 18 more and 19 more.
