41 years, 11 months, 13 days, game appearance, home run, hit... Approaching the oldest record.
Choo Shin-soo (41, SSG Landers), who is retiring at the end of the 2024 season, is on the verge of breaking the record for the oldest batter in appearances, hits, and home runs in the Korean Professional Baseball KBO League.
Choo Shin-soo started as the designated hitter twice in the professional baseball home game against KT Wiz held at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 26th and performed well with 3 hits in 5 at-bats, 1 RBI, and 2 runs.
One of the three hits was a home run.
In the game against KT on the 26th, Choo Shin-soo hit a double to right field in the third inning, and then in the fourth inning, he hit a 124 km/h changeup from KT submarine Lee Chae-ho for a solo arch over the center field wall. 토토사이트 순위
This is the home run that Choo Shin-soo, who was born on July 13, 1982, hit on the 41st birthday, 11 months and 13 days.
Choo Shin-soo already hit his first home run of the season against KT on April 26, taking second place in the KBO's oldest home run record.
Currently, Felix Jose (formerly of the Lotte Giants) holds the record for oldest hitter in the KBO League.
Jose hit a home run in a game against the SK Wyverns (now SSG) on May 10, 2007.
At that time, Jose was 42 years and 8 days old.
'42 years and 8 days' is also the oldest batting record for appearances, hits, and home runs in the KBO League.
Choo Shin-soo surpassed current LG Twins coach Lee Ho-jun, who hit a home run at 41 years, 7 months, and 21 days old, to take second place in the oldest home run category.
He rose to a tie for third place in the oldest hitting category.
Following Jose, Doosan Bears coach Jo In-seong ranked second with the oldest hits at 41 years, 11 months, and 26 days, and Samsung Lions coach Lee Byeong-gyu tied for third with Choo Shin-soo at 41 years, 11 months, and 13 days.
The record for the oldest batsman to participate is Jose (42 years, 8 days), Coach Jo In-seong (41 years, 11 months, 28 days), Coach Lee Byeong-gyu, and Choo Shin-soo (41 years, 11 months, 13 days).
If Choo Shin-soo plays against Incheon KT on the 27th and hits a hit, he will become the KBO's oldest hitter and jump to third place in hits.
The moment to break Jose's record is also approaching.
