Doosan Bears Jung Soo-bin has approached a page in KBO League history. He has entered the countdown to a new record of 'triples'. There is no suitable pursuit among active players. If Jung Soo-bin breaks the record, it will be difficult to overcome for at least 10 years.

Jung Soo-bin recorded his 90th career triple against the Hanwha Eagles in the 2025 KBO League at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon on the 19th. Jung Soo-bin took the lead in the 6-5 victory with two hits and three RBIs in four at-bats. Doosan won five consecutive games.

Jung Soo-bin exploded a triple at a dramatic moment. Trailing 2-4, he hit a triple with a timely hit in the top of the seventh inning. Doosan used this as a springboard to come from behind to win the game.




The number of triplets in KBO League history is 100. Jeon Joon-ho, the current commentator, achieved it in 2008.

Jung Soo-bin made his debut in 2009 and made 90 triples from 6,538 at-bats. Arithmetically, up to 100 requires 727 at-bats. If he maintains his current skills, a new record is expected in 2027.

Jung Soo-bin also expressed his attachment to the triple.




Jung Soo-bin "Now there are only 10 left in Jeon Joon-ho's record. I really want to break that number 100 before I retire. A triple is really not easy for anyone to hit. I don't think anyone can break it if I break it like that. I don't want anyone to wake up, so I want to try it"I made no secret of my desire.

In fact, only Jung Soo-bin is close to the milestone as of the 2025 season.

Among the active players, LG Park Hae-min, who is the same age as Jung Soo-bin, hit 72, ranking third in his career. Park Min-woo (NC 64), Oh Ji-hwan (LG 63), and Koo Ja-wook (Samsung 56) are following. Due to the nature of triples, it is difficult to hit even five a year, so the possibility of them reaching 100 is very low in reality.




Jung Soo-bin, who was born in 1990, is now in her mid-30s. Jung Soo-bin "Now, if you do something wrong, the story of age comes out. So I run harder " smiling "There's nothing wrong with my body right now. I made up my mind to play like this until the end of my retirement. We'll always prepare and work hard"I'm determined.
