Legendary KBSN Sports commentator Jeon Joon-ho and Yang Joon-hyuk (56) have been retired for 15 to 16 years. Commentator Jeon Joon-ho said, "I played until 2009 and Yang took off his uniform until 2010. What's interesting is that they are still No. 1 despite the two changes.토토사이트
This is true even if you just look at it carefully. Jeon Joon-ho is the most prolific triplet and stealer through the 2024 season. Jeon has retired after hitting exactly 100 triplets. Chung Soo-bin (35, Doosan Bears) ranked second with 87 and Park Hae-min (35, LG Twins) ranked third with 70.
To hit many triples, you need to hit well and run well. And you have to play well for a long time. No matter how well you hit a triple, it is not easy to hit more than 10 in a season. Jeon also posted a record of 12 in a single season in 1995. Given this, Jeon's overall No. 1 ranking in triples is unlikely to change for the time being.
Still, Jung will be able to challenge himself a few years later. He only had three triples in the 2024 season. However, he recorded a season-high of 11 in the 2023 season. He has two years left to sign a four-plus-year contract worth 5.6 billion won (approx. The challenge of winning a career triple can be a motivation.
When it comes to stolen bases, Jeon Joon-ho may be able to keep his No. 1 ranking. He is unrivaled with 549 stolen bases. He is also ranking second with 510 under KT Wiz coach Lee Jong-beom. Park Hae-min (411), who is currently ranking first, is ranking fifth. He is still 138 behind Jeon. His four-year, six-billion-won contract with the FA ends this season, but he will continue his career as a professional golfer.
Despite this, Park consistently stole 2 to 40 bases even in his mid-30s. Last year, he topped 40 steals (43 steals) for the first time in seven years since 2017. If he adds 30 steals each, he can pass Jeon four years later. Consequently, some predict that Jeon will remain atop for 20 years after his retirement.
Yang has naturally given up another record to junior players. His total walks, however, are like a stronghold that never fails. His total number of walks is 1278. KBS N Sports Commentator Kim Tae-kyun has 1,141. The third is 1,130 for Choi Hyung-woo (KIA Tigers).
Even Choi, who already played until the age of 41, was 148 behind Yang. Choi will sign a contract worth 2.2 billion won (one plus one year non-FA) at the end of this season. It would not be a surprise if he retires at the end of this season. The second most active player in the league is Choi Jeong (SSG Landers) with 1,037 teams.
Choi will start signing a four-year, 11 billion won contract as an FA. He is 241 behind Yang. He needs 60 walks a year to overtake Yang. He has 69-59-55 walks over the past three years. If he maintains his skills for the next four years, he can challenge Yang at the end of this contract
