"I hope it turns into a hit and an RBI." That's the pride of being a professional."

Kiwoom Heroes won the KIA Tigers 6-1 at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on the 20th. The game was decided in the third inning. KIA Park Chan-ho and Oh Sun-woo's consecutive errors led Kiwoom to gain the upper hand by scoring four points in one inning.

But there was an ambiguous scene. Kiwoom is on second and third bases with one out after leading 2-0 due to Park Chan-ho's error. Choi Joo-hwan pulled KIA starter Yang Hyun-jong's ball at perfect timing. a ball that flew like a missile. However, first baseman Oh Sun-woo was in front of him.




Oh Seon-woo couldn't catch the ball. The ball bounced wide into center field. The runners on the second and third bases are both home-bound. However, the record was a mistake by the first baseman. Considering the strength of the ball and the defensive situation, it was a scene that would not be strange at all to give a hit. However, the recorder judged it as an error whether the ball hit Oh Sun-woo's glove and determined that Oh Sun-woo could handle it.

From Choi Joo-hwan's point of view, it's a situation that can be disappointing. Choi Joo-hwan, who met ahead of the KIA match on the 21st, said "I actually filed an objection after the game." KBO will receive objections from players regarding the decision from the 2022 season. There are also cases that are actually reversed. Since the recorder is also a person, not all decisions can be made like machines.

The team won. In fact, Choi Joo-hwan signed a multi-year non-FA contract worth up to 1.2 billion won for 2+1+1 years with Kiwoom ahead of this season. There are no detailed options other than the option to proceed with the next contract after two years. This means that the salary is not going back and forth with one hit and one RBI. The team won, so we can let it go. However, Choi Joo-hwan said, `Of course you may think so, but the record of hits and RBIs for professional players is an unchanging goal and pride. If you play baseball without considering this important, you're just swinging your bat without any goal. So I hope the record will be corrected with a hit" revealed the wind.




Choi Joo-hwan asked Oh Sun-woo directly how unfair he was. The ball was so fast that it was difficult to deal with it with gloves. I know the ball hit the foot. If it had been hit by the glove, the ball wouldn't have popped out like that."

There is also a competition of pride with Yang. It's a very strange relationship between the two. Choi Joo-hwan is a senior and junior at Dongseong High School in Gwangju. However, Choi Joo-hwan was born on February 28, 1988, and Ang Hyun-jong was born on March 1. He became a senior and junior by just one day. Choi Joo-hwan said "I still struggle when I meet Hyunjong without realizing it. Strangely, I want to do well when we face each other. That's why I have to get a hit," he said with a smile. On this day, Choi Joo-hwan met Yang Hyun-jong three times on the record and lost the game due to a fly to center field, a mistake, and a strikeout.
