KIA Tigers' Choi Hyung-woo was lucky to hit a home run and receive a luxury electric car due to injury.
Choi Hyung-woo hit a three-run home run in the fourth inning against the Kiwoom Heroes at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 19th. Choi Hyung-woo entered the batter's box with no outs and runners on the first and second bases when his team was leading 8-3 and drew a superior three-run home run from the opposing pitcher Kim Yeon-joo. The 18th of the season.
Choi Hyung-woo pulled the first fastball in the middle, and the moment he was hit, a huge hit that could be felt as a home run flew away. But the direction was exquisite. KIA displays its car in the outfield at first base and presents the car to players who hit it with a home run. This has nothing to do with home or away players.
It doesn't come out often. There is a possibility that only balls with a really good distance will fly because they are displayed in such a deep place.
This year, Kia Motors' electric car 'EV4' is on display. It depends on the option, but it's a luxury car that can be purchased for approximately 50 million won. Choi Hyung-woo's ball flew 120 meters and fell exactly into the home run zone. He became the owner of a car worth 50 million won with a single home run.
He became the first beneficiary of KIA's home run zone this season. It is the second slope for Choi Hyung-woo as an individual. He hit a home run in the same place last year and received an 'EV3'.
42-year-old Choi Hyung-woo will acquire another FA qualification ahead of this season. He's the oldest baseball fielder in the league, but his skills don't deteriorate enough to keep his No. 4 position in KIA. KIA also has no justification not to pursue a contract with Choi Hyung-woo. After this season, the FA may hit the jackpot, and he even received a pleasant car award.
