Golden Gloves Yang Eui-ji, highest number of votes ever 994 … KT’s largest broadcast total

[엑스포츠뉴스 김현세 기자] NC Dinos Euiji Yang was awarded the Golden Glove in the catcher category at the 2020 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO Golden Glove Awards held at the COEX Auditorium in Seoul on the 11th.

Yang Eui-ji won the Golden Photo Award, as well as the sixth Golden Glove in his personal career, and became the second most successful Golden Glove award in the catcher category, beating out Lee Man-soo and Kang Min-ho ( winning more than five times). The percentage of votes also reached 340 of 342 valid votes, the highest so far (99.4%). Previously, the highest percentage of votes in history was 99.3%, held by Ma Hae-young in the 2002 nominated hitters division. The other two votes were divided by Park Se-hyuk and Jang Seong-woo. .

Regular season MVP Mel Lohas Junior was able to wear gold gloves. It was difficult to attend the awards ceremony signing a contract with Hanshin Tigers now, and coach Kim Kang won the award. Coach Kim said, ‘Everyone at KT thinks’ Lohas ‘is a family,’ and that ‘I’ll cheer until I get to the majors.’ With the outfielder’s Golden Gloves, Hyun-Soo Kim won the sixth personal award and Jeong-Hoo Lee won the third award in the fourth year of his debut. This is the fourth of the story.

KT also became the winningest team at the Golden Gloves Awards. Kang Baek-ho and Hwang Jae-gyun won the first and third base divisions respectively. Both were the first Golden Gloves awards in their lives. Jae-gyun Hwang said, “It is the first gold glove in 15 years since its debut” and said, “I will try not to be the first and the last.” Kang Baek-ho said, ‘I’m so nervous, I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’m honored,’ and said, ‘I’m grateful to the KT fans and family for always watching.

The winner of the second base category is NC Dinos Park Min-woo. Park Min-woo got a total of 299 votes. At this award ceremony, Na Seong-beom, winner of the ‘Fair Play Award’, said, ‘I will work hard to be able to receive this award.’ When the host asked ‘What kind of person is Na Seong-beom?’, He said that she was not a funny person and made the audience laugh.

Kim Ha-sung, who is challenging the major leagues with Na Sung-beom, won the Golden Gloves in the shortstop category. He’s a golden glove in the shortstop category for three years in a row. This is the third time ever after Kim Jae-bak and Kang Jeong-ho. He received 277 votes in the shortstop category, which was considered a battlefield in these Golden Gloves, beating out several nominations, including Oh Ji-hwan and Dixon Machado. Not only Kim Ha-sung, but Choi Hyeong-woo also laughed on the larger battlefield. Choi Hyung-woo, who ranked first in the batting category this season, received a total of 168 votes, beating Na Seong-beom and winning the sixth Golden Glove in his personal career. This is the first award to receive as a designated hitter.

The pitcher’s Golden Gloves went to the Doosan Bears Raúl Alcantara. As Alcantara’s 20-win ace this season, Doosan worked hard to make the final leap of the regular season and helped kick off the semifinals. For Doosan, the Golden Grove award in the pitching category is the third year in a row. Dustin Nippert, Josh Lindblom and Alcantara were all aces in 20 consistently swept wins.
