Chae Eun-sung Wins His First All-Star Game Home Run Race, He's the third Hanwha player

Chae Eun-sung (33, Hanwha Eagles) won the All-Star Game Home Run Race for the first time in his life. Chae Eun-sung won the KBO All-Star Game Home Run Race at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 14th by hitting a total of five home runs. Chae Eun-sung, who won the home run race, received a trophy, 5 million won in prize money, and LG Standby Me GO. Chae Eun-sung is the third Hanwha player to win the home run race after Kim Tae-kyun (2005, 2007, 2012) and Willin Rosario (2017). This year's home run race was originally planned to be held as a match between teams, but the method was changed to an individual match as Choi Jung (SSG Landers), who was scheduled to participate, was absent due to injury.

A total of six players, regardless of the preliminary round and the final, proceeded with a seven-out system, and the player who hit the most home runs was honored with the championship. Austin Dean (LG), who was the first to bat, only drew one arch. Noh Si-hwan, who was tied for first place in the KBO League home run (19) with Choi Jung, was considered a strong candidate for the championship, but failed to hit a single home run unexpectedly. Park Dong-won, who was at bat for the third time, hit three home runs and took the lead alone, but Chae Eun-sung immediately topped the rankings. Chae Eun-sung recovered his sense by drawing three consecutive arches from three outs and later added two home runs. Park Byung-ho, who hit 369 home runs and became the home run king six times, threatened Chae Eun-sung. Park Byung-ho hit four home runs until two outs, showing the best pace, but later failed to add a home run, ranking second. Park Byung-ho, who had no connection with winning the home run race, unfortunately missed his first championship. Chae Eun-sung's victory was confirmed as Han Dong-hee, the last player, hit only 0 home runs. 토토사이트
