During the Tokyo Olympics, Kang Baek-
ho
, who was caught chewing gum in a dugout, was criticized by some fans, media, and baseball players for 'not doing his best' and 'bad attitude'.
As if conscious of the controversy, Kang Baek-ho, who wore a mask after returning to the game, led a comeback victory against Samsung yesterday (15th) and offered an apology after the interview with Su-Hun.
[Kang Baek-ho/KT Infielder: Can I just say that one word? I'm very sorry to disappoint the fans, and I will try my best to become a more exemplary athlete, so please support me in the future.]
After returning from the Olympics, Kang Baek-ho became a different hitter than before.
After experiencing the powerful balls of Japanese and American pitchers, he gave up his trademark 'leg kick' without any regrets.
After returning to a more concise swing, he raised the season batting average to close to 40,000 with a batting average of 40 to 5 pennies, and increased his walks with an improved pioneering plan, exceeding the season's on-base percentage of 50%, close to the all-time high.
Kang Baek-ho, who had so far avoided mentioning the '40-year challenge', has now started talking about the achievability.
[Kang Baek-ho/KT Infielder: The batting average of 40% is an honor for me, and it's a batting average that only came out once in the KBO league, so I think I'll be able to maintain it to some extent if I get on base and give up a little bit of greed for the sake of the team.]
