Center fielder Park Hae-min, the only defensive award winner of the LG Twins, delivered a request to KBO.
They want the data for selecting the defense prize to be more reliable.
At the 2025 KBO Awards held on the 24th, Park Hae-min won the KBO Defensive Player Award. After receiving the first award in 2023, which was first enacted, it will be the second time in two years.
After receiving the award, Park Hae-min said, "I didn't receive the defense award last year and received it again this year. Thank you for the training part that helped me not get hurt even if I blew my body."I think the defense was able to shine thanks to the Magic Park mentioned on the Internet site." "Thank you for sending me pizza from Domino's Pizza at the baseball stadium center and making it stand out," he said, turning the awards hall into a sea of laughter. Also, "(Im) Chan-gyu said that without me, the ERA will go up, so I hope you don't worry about it for four years and come here as the No. 1 ERA. It's a shame that I'm the only one at the awards ceremony. I hope many LG players come next year"
In an interview after the ceremony, he made a rather bold statement.
Park Hae-min "I wanted to tell you at the award ceremony"I want you to make sure the data is clear"
Then "If you create a defense prize, eventually fans will see it and trust it."In the case of "(Shin) Min-jae, the defense figures are very low right now. Min-jae is obviously a good defense player, but from the record, he is a bad defense player.

Shin Min-jae ranked first in the voting in this defense award and received 75 points, but only 8.93 points (UZR 3.57, official record 5.36) in the defensive index score received a total of 83.93 points. NC Park Min-woo received 64.29 points in second place in the vote, and 23.21 points (UZR 10.71 and official record 12.50) in the defensive index score, ranking first with 87.50 points. The big difference in defensive record scores.
In 2024, a year ago, Shin Min-jae scored 12.50 points in UZR and 7.14 points in official records, higher than Kim Hye-sung (UZR 5.36, official record 10.71, total 16.07), who received the defense award with a total score of 19.64 points.
Park Hae-min said "It doesn't make sense that the score has dropped so much in a year. "It's not like the player's defense scope has narrowed due to the injury," he said. "I'm really grateful for the part that made the defense award at KBO, but I think there should be reliable data if the value of the defense tries to go up even further. That way, I think the players and fans will change their perception of defense, saying that they are really good at defense. The purpose is really good, but I hope it'll be more supplemented."
