In the 3rd inning, 2 outs, 2nd base, Choi Jeong-eun hit Lotte starter Aaron Wilkerson’s first pitch slider with a speed of 132 km/h and crossed the left-center wall.
Jeong Choi hit his first home run this season and his 459th home run in his career on the day the 2024 Korean Professional Baseball regular season begins.
The record for the most home runs in an individual’s career in the KBO League is 467 home runs,
held by Doosan Bears coach Lee Seung-yeop.
If Choi Jeong adds 8 home runs, he will tie for first place in this category, and if he hits 9 home runs,
he will surpass manager Lee Seung-yeop and become the ‘main player of a new record’.
Lee Seung-yeop
Choi Jeong-eun emphasized, “Coach Seung-yeop Lee played in Japan for eight seasons.
Coach Lee’s total home runs in Korea and Japan are 626,” and added, “To me, Coach Seung-yeop Lee is an untouchable figure.
“It’s an honor just to be able to challenge the coach’s record,” he said.
However, he feels the weight of the record.
Before this year’s season, Choi Jeong-eun said, “I start the regular season with the idea of hitting 10 home runs every year, and then “I’m not conscious of records,” he said.
“I feel pressured because the record for the most home runs is on the line this year.
“He wants to reach 10 home runs quickly,” he said.
Choi Jeong can shake off the pressure by adding 9 home runs before the opening game.
