While the whole country was wet with rain due to the rainy season, the KBO All-Star Game, which was held in Busan from the 14th, was also hit by rain. All-Star Friday pre-events on the first day of the All-Star Game have been canceled one after another. However, from around 16:00, as the rain weakens, the Futures All-Star Game and Home Run Race will be held as scheduled from 18:00.메이저놀이터
The KBO All-Star Game, which will be held at Sajik Stadium in Busan for the first time in 16 years, will be held on the 14th and 15th. On the 14th, the Little League All-Star Game, which was scheduled to be held at 2:10 pm, and the Korea Women’s Baseball Federation players’ home run race, which was scheduled to be held at 4:30 pm, were canceled due to rain.
On this day, the ‘One Point Lesson’, in which four Futures All-Star players participated directly from 4:00 pm to 4:30 pm in the square in front of Sajik Stadium, was also canceled due to rain. Jeong Yi-hwang (Hanwha Eagles), Lee Seung-min (Army Sports Corps), Kim Beom-seok (LG Twins), and Seo Dong-wook (Lotte Giants) were scheduled to participate in the event.
Pre-events have been canceled due to rain, but the Futures All-Star Game, which will be held at 6 p.m., will be held as scheduled. After the Futures All-Star Game, a home run race will also be held. Due to the decision to host the main events of the day, the Futures All-Star Game and the Home Run Race, the spectators began to enter the stadium slowly around 5:00.
In the home run race without Choi Jeong (SSG), the home run race, there are 6 such as Noh Si-hwan (Hanwha), who is tied for first place with Choi Jeong, Chae Eun-seong (Hanwha), Park Dong-won, Austin (above LG), Park Byeong-ho (KT), and Han Dong-hee (Lotte). A player comes out.
Originally, the KBO Secretariat planned this year’s All-Star Home Run Race as an inter-team match, but decided to hold it as an individual match as a player scheduled to participate could not participate due to injury.
The All-Star Home Run Race, which is conducted with a 7-out system per player, awards 5 million won in prize money, a trophy, and LG Standby Me GO to the winning player. The runner-up will also receive a prize money of 1 million won and a trophy, and the longest home run player will be given a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8.
Roh Si-hwan and Choi Jeong (SSG Landers), who hit 19 home runs side by side in the first half and tied for first place, were about to compete for supremacy in this home run race. However, as Choi Jeong-i was unable to participate in the All-Star Game due to an injury, the game changed.
Noh Si-hwan challenges Hanwha to win the All-Star Home Run Race for the first time in six years since Willin Rosario in 2017. Park Byung-ho, who has not yet won the all-star home run race championship trophy despite becoming the home run king six times in his career, is a candidate to threaten Noh Si-hwan. Han Dong-hee, who participates in the all-star game as a substitute due to Choi Jeong’s absence, is determined to show off her skills at Sajik Stadium, her hometown.
