The defense of an infielder who was not like a veteran in his 20th year as a professional… I couldn’t even laugh at the multi-hit

Doosan Bears veteran shortstop Kim Jae-ho (38), who celebrated his 20th year as a pro, collapsed in defense.

Kim Jae-ho is the eldest brother in the team and is in charge of the infield commander. He is a veteran among veterans who has played 1,661 games in total until this day. This season, he is competing fiercely with his juniors Park Gye-beom, Lee Yu-chan, and Ahn Jae-seok for the shortstop position, but Kim Jae-ho still has a lot of images when it comes to Doosan shortstops.

However, on this day, Kim Jae-ho was different. He failed to display 100% of his skills as a veteran. In particular, he made several mistakes on defense and put the team in crisis.

It started in the bottom of the second inning with the team trailing 2-0. After one out, Lee Ho-yeon’s missed ball exceeded the height of the third baseman. Kim Jae-ho quickly went to the spot where the ball fell and picked it up, but he couldn’t pick it up at once. In the meantime, Lee Ho-yeon dug into the second base and headed for the scoring zone.

After Lee Ho-yeon got into scoring position, the situation went strangely. Park Kyung-soo, a pinch hitter, walked from 2nd and 2nd base and became 2nd and 1st and 2nd base, and follow-up hitter Kim Sang-su hit 1 RBI double and was chased 2-1. Afterwards, Kang Baek-ho’s 2 RBIs and timely hits from 2nd, 2nd and 3rd bases exploded, allowing a 2-3 reversal.

Kim Jae-ho made another mistake in the middle of the game and almost set the mood. In the bottom of the 5th inning, where the team fell behind by 2-4, Moon Sang-cheol missed a ground ball and sent a runner out. It was the first batter match for the changed pitcher Lee Young-ha, but it did not give him strength. Afterwards, he allowed a walk in the game with Hwang Jae-gyun and became the first baseman, but after that, he led the second baseman-shortstop-first baseman direction and minimized bleeding, but he could not escape the responsibility of putting the team in crisis.

On the other hand, on this day, Kim Jae-ho recorded 2 hits in 3 at bats. He added strength in offense by hitting his second multi-hit this season, but had to bow his head due to several unsatisfactory plays in defense.
