Samsung's Kang Min-ho (40) made a meaningful record in a home game against Doosan held at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 2nd.
Kang Min-ho, who was listed in the starting lineup as the No. 5 catcher on the day, recorded 2,400 personal games.
Kang Min-ho, who made his professional debut in 2004 in the second round of the rookie draft by wearing the Lotte uniform as the 17th pick in the third round, participated in his first game on Sept. 19, 2004. He continued to play in the ground and became the record holder last year, and became the first player to record 2,400 appearances in the KBO league on the day.
Kang Min-ho also celebrated his team's victory and achieved a new record.
Samsung, which created a chance with Kim Sung-yoon's walk and Koo Ja-wook's hit in the eighth inning at 2-2, ran away 3-2 with an RBI double by Lewin Diaz.
Then, with runners on the second and third bases with no outs, Kang Min-ho took the batter's box. He hit Park Shin-ji's changeup on the fourth pitch, leading to a three-run homer over the left fence. It was Kang's second homer of the season and the decisive victory for the day. Samsung won the game 6-2.
After the game, Kang Min-ho laughed, saying, "I'll think today is my first home run of the season." 온라인카지노
His first home run of the season came against SSG on the 30th of last month. Kang Min-ho, who hit a home run with Ryu Ji-hyuk's bat at the time, said, "I asked him to produce the bat I use as it is."
Kang Min-ho, who hit a home run since the opening game last year, started the game a little late this year. "It's time for a home run to come out, but I was thinking, 'Why isn't it coming out?' Still, I thought it would come out someday after one season, so I focused on winning the team. If a home run doesn't help, I thought, "Let's help him by leading the catcher."
"I think it's a record that I feel very attached to. I want to compliment myself," he said. "I also thank him for playing this position without changing his position. I will become an athlete who can continue to challenge for 2,500 or 2,600 games beyond 2,400 games."
Kang Min-ho, who said, "Thank you to my parents for giving me a healthy body, and thank my wife for helping me out," also talked about his daughter, Hai, who came running to his arms during the interview. When he said, "Thank you to Hai, who doesn't listen," the daughter smiled shyly.
Samsung won the game on the day, but remained in fourth place. However, it is only one game away from LG, which ranks first. That's how fierce the ranking fight is.
Kang Min-ho said, "On the contrary, I don't care more about the ranking. Ranking is not important, and as long as we do what we can, it's really the ranking after the middle anyway."
"If we do what our team can do, we can win regardless of the opponent's team. I'll do my best to do what I can," he said.
