SSG Choi Jeong hits a 1-RBI sacrifice fly in the top of the 4th inning in the professional baseball ‘2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League’ game between SSG Landers and LG Twins held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 7th. 2024.5.7 News 1

SSG Landers Choi Jeong (37, 469 home runs), who continues to break the most home runs in the KBO league, is about to break another record.

As of the 8th, Jeong-eun Choi is only 7 bases away from reaching 4,000 bases and 15 runs away from reaching 1,500 RBIs in his personal career.

If Choi Jeong adds 7 bases, he will become the third player in the KBO League to reach the milestone, following former Samsung Lee Seung-yeop (current Doosan Bears coach) and KIA Tigers Choi Hyeong-woo, who achieved 4,000 bases on the 17th of last month. He becomes the first player in his 30s to reach 4,000 bases.

Choi Jeong-eun reported his first base hit against Hanwha in Daejeon on May 14, 2005, his debut season, and has recorded triple-digit base hits every season since the 2006 season. In particular, starting from the 2016 season, he hit more than 200 bases every season, and in the 2017 season, he also recorded 294 bases, his personal highest.

Also, in the game against Munhak NC on April 8, 2017, he hit 4 home runs and recorded 16 bases, tying the record for most bases in a game in the KBO League.

Choi Jeong-eun is 15 RBIs away from reaching 1,500 RBI. 1,500 RBIs is a record held by only Choi Hyeong-woo (1,575 RBIs) in the KBO League, so if Choi Jeong achieves it, he will become the second player to do so.

Choi Jeong has recorded more than 50 RBIs for 17 consecutive seasons since the 2007 season. He achieved more than 100 RBI three times in the 2016, 2017, and 2021 seasons.

In the 2015 season, he also set various RBI records. On April 5, in the match against Nexen in Mokdong, he recorded 8 RBIs, including 2 home runs, making it the 17th time in KBO League history that an individual had more than 8 RBIs in a game. He also recorded an RBI in 10 consecutive games, starting against Munhak KIA on July 11 and ending with Gwangju KIA on July 29.

KBO plans to award a commemorative award according to commendation regulations if Choi Jeong reaches 4,000 bases and 1,500 RBIs.
