This is his 16th year in the professional league. Jung Soo-bin (35) who used to be called "Jamsil Idol" has risen to the ranks of "veteran" before long. The records he sets have diversified as well. He has 1,500 hits in total. He is the first left-handed hitter and outfielder in Doosan's history. He is also targeting 2,000 hits.스포츠토토
As a leadoff hitter at the bottom of the first inning against KIA at Jamsil on Wednesday, Jung hit a solo home run off Adam Oler, the opponent team's starting pitcher. He marked his 1,500th individual hit with a home run. "I knew that if I hit one more, I would have 1,500 hits. I achieved a meaningful record with a home run. I am so happy," Jung said.
Usually, it is easy to retrieve a hit. This is because most of the balls are inside the ground. The home run came out. It was difficult to bring the ball back. The Doosan front desk politely asked the spectators to retrieve the ball that went over to the outfield stands. Fortunately, even the fans who caught the ball gladly handed the ball over.
Jeong Su-bin also responded immediately. "Jeong presented the fan with a VIP ticket in the center." a Doosan official said. After that, the team will invite the fan again," he explained.
He is aiming for an even bigger record going forward. He has 2,000 hits overall, and the most triple hits in KBO history. Currently, Jung has 87 career triples. He will break the record set by Jeon Joon-ho (100), who holds the most triple hits.
"I'm always greedy to set a triple. I really want to get more than 100," he said. "I also want to set a record of playing, hitting, scoring, and stealing the most games as a player in Doosan's franchise."
Jung Soo-bin boasts the best defense capability in the league. It is no exaggeration to say that he covered the entire outfield at Jamsil Stadium. His trademark is "hustle play," which does not spare his body.
According to Statistics, Chung ranks third in the league with 0.223 in defense contribution this season. LG Twins' Park Hae-min (0.322), who shares his home stadium in Jamsil, is ranked first. "Park Hae-min has no choice but to admit it. He is a really good defense player. I will show better defense as well," Chung said.
The secret of his consistency is his initial commitment. He still feels the same way when he made his professional debut in 2009. He always does his best. "I try not to lose focus in the baseball stadium. You should not be disturbed just because you are old. I will do my best until the day I retire," he said.
Jung Soo-bin held his "son" Jung Eun-woo in his arms in 2023. He is three years old this year. Now he will remember when he sees his father play baseball. The son's "being" is the biggest motivation for Jung Soo-bin.
"When I come out on TV, I recognize that I'm a dad. I think I'll know what kind of player I am as I grow up," he said, before smiling, adding, "As I think my son is watching, I think I need to do better."
