Samsung Lions catcher Kang Min-ho and LG Twins outfielder Park Hae-min are close friends who played together at Samsung. Park’s move to LG split the team, and now the catcher and speedy runner are competing against each other.

The tension between Kang Min-ho, who must catch, and Park Hae-min, who must steal.

It’s a contradiction of spear and shield. Park Hae-min, the best ‘dado’ in the game, was the stolen base king for four consecutive years from 2015 to 2018. This season, he is still in fourth place with 34 stolen bases. He’s also first among active players with 402 career stolen bases.

Even such a great stolen base king was caught stealing, twice…. The first time I’ve ever been to a game, I’ve never seen it.

Last day, Jamsil Samsung-LG game. The flow was in Samsung’s favor.

LG had a tough game, scoring no runs despite 10 hits. Two stolen bases by Park Hae-min broke the tide. In the bottom of the second inning, down 0-2, Park drew a full-count walk against Baek Jung-hyun.

In the next at-bat, Kim Bum-seok took second on a wild pitch. Kang Min-ho threw hard to second, but it was centrifugally safe. After video review, the safe was overturned to an out. The catcher pumped his fist in celebration.

In the bottom of the fifth inning,

Park Hae-min had another chance to steal second base. After leading off with a single, Park tried to steal second again, but was thwarted by Kang Min-ho’s clothesline throw. 파워볼사이트 추천 It was even a natural tag.

Park was left lying on the ground, unable to hide his disappointment. Kang Min-ho, on the other hand, jumped for joy and pointed his finger at Park Hae-min at second base. Minho Kang pointed his finger. There was a reason.

“I’m trying to prepare as best as I can,” Kang Min-ho said of his recently improved stealer intelligence, along with his fire bat, before the KIA game on Monday. If the catcher can’t catch the stolen base, he has to be pushed to the plate,” he said.

“I’ve been working really hard this season,” said Kang, who shared the story behind the play.

“When Hae-min came in after the first out, I said, ‘I can’t play anymore,’ and then he came in after me, so I gave him the finger, which was a joking gesture that meant, ‘Why are you playing again after saying you’re not playing,’ because we’re in a position where we have to compete as much as possible (laughs).”

A hilarious battle of nerves between close former Samsung colleagues. The winner was Kang Min-ho, but the loser, Park Hae-min, could smile.
