The steady steps of hit master Son Ah-seop (35, NC) will soon bear fruit.
Son Ah-seop currently has 148 hits this season. On the 7th, he added 2 hits against Changwon Kiwoom. 148th hit of the season. Now, if he adds just two more hits, he will set a record of 150 hits in eight consecutive seasons for the first time in history.메이저사이트
Coincidentally, they will be playing a four-game series, including a double header, against their former team Lotte at Changwon NC Park on the 8th to 10th. If nothing else happens, he will set a record against his home team, where he hit his first hit in his debut and announced the beginning of his record.
It is a record that no one has ever achieved. Park Yong-taek, who has the most hits in his career (2,504), also recorded it for 7 consecutive years from 2012 to 2018. In this way, Son Ah-seop is breaking Park Yong-taek’s records one by one. In 2015, due to a long-term absence due to a wrist injury, he only had 141 hits. If this absence had not occurred, Son Ah-seop’s record of 150 hits in consecutive seasons could have continued for 12 consecutive years, from 2012 to this year.
In 2007, he was selected by Lotte with the 29th overall pick in the 2nd 4th round, and began his full-time career in 2010. Starting with 129 hits this year, he has hit 100 hits for 14 consecutive years until this year. It was the 5th record in history, following Yang Jun-hyuk, Park Han-i (16 seasons), Lee Seung-yeop (15 seasons), and Lee Dae-ho (14 seasons).
He has stood shoulder to shoulder with Korean baseball legends and is now on the verge of surpassing them. Given Son Ah-seop’s personality of not neglecting his efforts, he is expected to easily surpass Yang Jun-hyuk and Park Han-i’s record of 100 hits for 16 consecutive seasons.
And when these records are achieved, what naturally follows is a renewal of Park Yong-taek’s record for the most hits in his career. He already has 2,377 career hits so far this season. There is only 127 differences. He just needs to hit 128 more. If the current pace continues next year, it is certain that he will break the record for the most hits in his career within the first half of next year. Instead of slowing down, the countdown clock is getting faster.
Last year, in the first year of his transfer to NC, he left a record with a batting average of .277 li (152 hits in 548 at-bats), which tarnished his reputation as a hitting master and batting machine. However, ahead of this season, under the guidance of Kang Jeong-ho in Los Angeles, USA, he has improved his past skills. regained reputation By adjusting the launch angle, he created a swing trajectory that could consistently produce line drive hits, and after trial and error, he succeeded in a perfect revival this season.
