Park Yong-taek: “Sun Ya-seop’s hits will exceed 3,000 during his peak period” | Dong-A Ilbo

Professional baseball commentator Park Yong-taek praised Son Ah-seop (NC Dinos) as a player with 3,000 hits.

Commissioner Park Yong-taek is watching the game between NC and Doosan Bears at Jamsil Stadium on the afternoon of the 20th.

On this day, Son Ah-seop attempted to set a new record for the most hits in history. Son Ah-seop, who had 2,504 hits the day before and tied with Commissioner Park Yong-taek, would become the star with the most hits in the history of the KBO league if he added one more hit.

Chairman Park came to the baseball field and shared the moment when a junior surpassed his record. If Son Ah-seop achieves a milestone, he will receive a bouquet of flowers to celebrate. Therefore, I rescheduled the schedule to the 21st.

Chairman Park said before the game, “It would be great if Son Ah-seop hit a hit today and set a new record. Setting the record for the most hits in history is not something that can be achieved with just one year of outstanding performance. “It’s natural to congratulate him,” he said.

He went on to say, “Son Ah-seop is not a hitter who wastes every at-bat. “I think it’s amazing that a record like this was created,” he said.

It is predicted that Sun Yaxie will definitely reach 3,000 hits in his career.

Chairman Park said, “I really wanted to reach 3,000 hits, but I couldn’t do it. Son Ah-seop expressed his opinion, saying, “If I take good care of my body like I am currently doing, I think I will definitely be able to hit more than 3,000 hits like I did in my peak period.”

He said: “After retiring, I have always been proud of being the first in the most hits in KBO history. But he emphasized, “The more outstanding juniors like Son Ah-seop there are, the richer the record of Korean baseball will be.”

Chairman Park said that Son Ah-seop is a batsman of a similar type to himself.

“I think Son Ah-Sup is a similar type of hitter to me,” he said. “He’s a player who fights a little bit more than me, though. “There are technically better hitters, but I think Son Ah-Sup is more amazing because he does things those hitters can’t do,” he said.
