A milestone home run ball with a heavy return reward promised. Unfortunately, however, it became an out-of-the-field home run.
KT Wiz Rojas fired a two-run shot to seal the victory in the bottom of the fifth inning against Kiwoom Heroes at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 3rd.
KT won 6-2 with starter Ko Young-pyo's one run and three RBIs, including Rojas' home run, in six innings. In particular, Rojas' home run was his 175th career home run by Rojas, who has played in Korea in his sixth season, and it was a monumental shot that broke the record of 174 home runs for foreign batters in professional baseball set by Tyrone Woods.
In order to recover this milestone home run, KT Wiz will present the 2026 season ticket (central designated seat), home correction meal ticket (two people), and Rojas' autographed uniform to those who donated Rojas' 175th home run ball in advance" has been announced. Earlier, as Rojas hit his 174th home run against Kiwoom on the 1st, some of the fans who visited Suwon on the previous day and the day were quite noticeable.
Therefore, Rojas, who I met after the game, said, `Whenever I entered the batter's box, I saw the fans move to catch the ball, and it was an out-of-the-field home run, so I'm sorry to those fans"He also showed his warm personality by apologizing."

Fortunately, the main character who caught the outdoor home run ball was a KT fan. Myung-hee Myung-hee (58), who lives in Suwon City, has become an avid KT fan since this year following her daughter. He is already a passionate fan enough to go to Busan, Gwangju, and Daejeon for away support. Just the day before, I visited Suwon's outfield seats and hit it in vain, and the next day I caught this luck.
Myung Sung-hee said, `I thought Ahn Hyun-min hit a lot of home runs off-the-field, so the home run ball could come over. I was working out again today, and I could see that it was Rojas at-bat by the stadium's cheering song. But I heard cheers, and the ball fell 20m in front of my exercise direction. I sprinted all the way and got the ball, but I still can't believe it."
He then waved the Dominican Republic flag and cheered yesterday in the hope that Rojas would do well. I was happy that Rojas waved his hands and made a good record."

He readily expressed his intention to donate to the KT club. He "I saw an interview yesterday, and even if there are ups and downs, Rojas, I really want to tell us that you are a superstar. I sincerely congratulate you on achieving the milestoneIf Rohas can see this ball and cheer up and do better, there is no regret. For LOHAS or for Team KT, I hope we can do well for a long time" cheered.
