'3 for 15 isn't enough'2169G and hit 2,618...Son Ah-seop's last wish, can Hanwha make it come true? 1st place with the most hits in professional baseball. He is the only legendary hitting machine in 44 years of history to accumulate 2,600 hits.

Can Hanwha Eagles Son Ah-seop (37)'s last wish come true.

Even in his 19 season career, he has a career batting average of 3.199. This is the second place after Park Gun-woo (3240) among the players currently playing in the league.




His 2,618 hits are the top in his career. He beat all legends such as Choi Hyung-woo, Kim Hyun-soo, Park Yong-taek, Choi Jung, and Yang Jun-hyuk. Despite his brilliant record, he has never stepped on the stage of the Korean Series.

2,169 games are the No. 1 active player in the history of professional baseball without experience in the Korean Series. Except for Son Ah-seop, none of the 22 players who have played more than 2,000 games in the first team have no experience in the Korean Series.

Since wearing the Lotte Giants uniform in the second fourth round (29 times overall) in 2007, Lotte has played 15 seasons until 2021, but during that period, Lotte has not made the Korean Series stage. Lotte's last Korean series has never been played in 1999, and surprisingly, in the 21st century.




In the second FA, he moved to the NC Dinos, which offered KRW 6.4 billion for four years. However, NC also failed to reach the Korean Series after winning its first championship in 2020.

He played two playoffs (2011-2012) at Lotte and one (2023) at NC, but all failed to penetrate and swallowed the disappointment. In the bottom of the ninth inning of the first playoff game against the SK Wyverns in 2011, he probably didn't know that his double play would remain Han for so long.

This year, the last year of the FA contract, the team moved to Hanwha just before the trade deadline. It may be the last Korean Series challenge.




Hanwha, which was No. 1 in the regular season at the time of the trade, has since been pushed back to No. 2 due to the rise of the LG Twins. Still, he secured a playoff berth relatively quickly in second place.

However, the Samsung Lions' challenge is much stronger than expected. In particular, in Game 4 held on the 22nd, Kim Young-woong, who is playing crazy in the playoffs, hit three consecutive at-bats and showed off his incredible strength to score six RBIs alone.

Still, Game 5 will be played in Daejeon on the same day.

The problem is that Son Ah-seop's performance did not meet Hanwha's expectations. Hanwha expected Son Ah-seop's rich experience. Coach Kim Kyung-moon used Son Ah-seop as the No. 1 leadoff in all four playoff games.

So far, Son Ah-seop has not been able to repay it. He only had three hits in 15 at-bats (a batting average of 20% and a double). Since there has never been a walk on base, the on-base percentage remains at 20%. At this point, rather than Son Ah-seop leading Hanwha to the Korean Series, Hanwha seems to fulfill Son Ah-seop's wish.

Kang Min-ho is on the other team Samsung. Although Kang Min-ho failed to win the championship, he solved his long-cherished dream by reaching the Korean Series last year.

Will this year be the year Son Ah-seop makes his wish come true, or will it be the year Kang Min-ho tries to win the championship once again. It will be decided in Game 5 on the day.
