Choi Jeong, the SSG Landers’ slugger, has etched his name into Korean baseball history as the new home run champion of the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO). Choi accomplished his astounding achievement in a game against the Lotte Giants, hitting his 468th career home run against Giants starter Lee In-bok at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan.
With the Landers behind 7-4 and two outs in the top of the fifth inning, Choi made his third turn at the plate. With trademark precision, he connected with a first-pitch slider, sending it flying into the left-field seats and engraving his name in history. The velocity of the ball off Choi’s bat was measured at 145 kilometers per hour, traversing a distance of 110 meters.
With 10 home runs already this season, Choi is poised to rewrite the record books once more, aiming to become the first KBO player to hit at least 20 in nine straight years. Choi’s rise to the top of KBO home run history solidifies his status as one of the game’s best sluggers.
