Lee Dae-ho talked about Choo Shin-soo’s view of baseball on his YouTube channel “Lee Dae-ho [RE:DAEHO]” on the 7th. “Choo Kang Dae-yeop” refers to Choo Shin-soo, Kang Jung-ho, Lee Dae-ho and Lee Seung-yeop among Korean hitters.
Lee Dae-ho, who picked Lee Seung-yeop as the best hitter, said of Choo Shin-soo, “I admit that Shin-soo has performed really well in the U.S. and has a lot of good records as an Asian player for a long time. To be honest, he is a batter who can hit really far if Shin-soo decides to hit long balls.”
Choo has displayed his best performance in the Major League by posting a batting average of 275 (1,671 hits in 6,087 times at bat) with 218 homers, 782 RBIs, 961 runs, and 157 steals. It is great that he hit 218 homers in the big league where famous players gather.
He was the first Asian player to hit .300-20 home runs and 20 steals (2009) and the first Asian batter to hit cycling (2015), and achieved a total of three 20 home runs and 20 steals, which are considered the standard of the Hotajun. 메이저 토토사이트
In 2018, he was selected as the first All-Star in his career, and currently holds the record of the most home runs (218) and most RBIs (782) by batters from Asia.
At a young age, 49 home runs during the three seasons of the KBO League are worthy of recognition. In 2021, he hit 21 home runs in his first year in the KBO League, 16 in 2022, and 12 this year. However, Choo holds a higher score in terms of on-base.
Choo is a player with good pioneering ability. Despite being the oldest player in the league and batting average in the mid-20s, ranking 15th in on-base percentage shows that he has good pioneering ability. He has 65 walks, the fifth largest number in the league. He is tied for fifth with Kia veteran Choi Hyung-woo. This is why managers can assign the heavy responsibility of the first hitter to the KBO League from the time they were in the Major League.
As for Choo, Lee Dae-ho said, “It seems like Shin has secured his view of baseball to the base. As he is the first batter, he only focused on getting on base, but if he decides to hit it far, he can hit it further than himself. As he is the first batter, I think he should go out as many times as he can. That’s why he is a batter that I acknowledge.”
“If Shin-soo had played baseball in Korea, he would have become a home run hitter, not a batter with on-base percentage,” Lee Dae-ho said. “He has the ability to hit long balls, but it is great that he focuses on getting on-base.”
