Yang Eui-ji (33, NC Dinos), considered the best catcher of the current generation in Korea, set a record for the highest number of votes in the Golden Gloves of professional baseball and enjoyed the joy of winning the sixth personal race . The percentage of votes is practically unanimous at 99.4%. If you wear ‘Golden Gloves’ again, you will achieve the highest tie record (7 times) in the catcher category.
Yang Eui-ji was selected as the winner of the catcher category at the Golden Gloves Awards held at the COEX Auditorium in Samseong-dong, Seoul on the 11th. He received 320 of the 322 valid votes in this category. Yang Eui-ji’s vote was a 0.1 percentage point renewal in 18 years from Ma Hae-young’s previous highest rate of 99.3%, which received 270 of 272 valid votes in the designated hitter category under the Samsung Lions in 2002. The two remaining votes that did not go to Yang Hee-ji went to Park Se-hyuk (Doosan Bears) and Jang Seong-woo (KT Wiz).
Euiji Yang is a veteran who has turned 15 this year after turning pro at Doosan in 2006. Since 2010, when he played an active role in the main game, he has established himself as Korea’s best wide receiver for 10 years. It is evaluated as a leading role in winning the first regular league (KBO League) and the Korean series this year after two seasons from NC, which was carried over last year. In the KBO League, he hit 33 home runs with 124 RBIs and a 0.328 batting average. He was selected as the best player (MVP) of the Korean series.
As a result, he earned his sixth ‘Golden Gloves’ in his personal career. This is second in the catcher category after LG Twins senior coach Kim Dong-soo, who was the top winner seven times. Previously, Lee Man-soo, former SK Wyverns manager, and Samsung Lions wide receiver Kang Min-ho (more than 5 times), raised the joint ranking, which was only the second.
Yang Yu-ji said, “I have accomplished a lot this year. Last year, NC ranked fifth. My teammates told me, ‘Please take good care of the team’ while entrusting me with the captain this year. I got a lot of strength from my colleagues. I thank my colleagues for following up on the insufficient claims. “
Raúl Alcantara (Doosan), the only pitcher with 20 wins in the KBO League this year, won the Golden Gloves in the pitchers category. In the first base category, Kang Baek-ho (KT Wiz) won the Golden Gloves for the first time in his life. It was decided that Park Min-woo (NC) would be the second baseman, Hwang Jae-gyun (KT) was the third baseman and Kim Ha-seong (Keeum Heroes), who was aiming to advance to the major league in professional baseball from USA, was decided as the winner in the shortstop category.
Mel Lohas Jr., a former KT hitter who won the professional baseball MVP this year and confirmed the trade to the Japanese Hanshin Tigers, wore gold gloves for the outfielder alongside Kim Hyun-soo (LG) and Lee Jung-hoo ( Keeum). Choi Hyung-woo (KIA) was selected as the winner in the nominated hitter category.
