But where was the resolution at that time. Park Chan-ho said he had no thoughts about the Golden Glove at all. Because I have a bigger dream. It's the winner.
In an away game against the LG Twins in Jamsil on the 10th, Park Chan-ho led his team to its fifth consecutive victory by hitting a double that announced the start of the upset win and a sacrifice fly that completed the upset.
Park Chan-ho, who started as No. 9 shortstop, stepped down as a mistake in hitting twice with a fly to center field in the top of the third inning and a ground ball in front of shortstop in the top of the sixth, but he came out as a leadoff hitter in the top of the ninth inning, trailing 0-2, opening the game with a double in the middle.
The most ideal table setter that head coach Lee Bum-ho thinks is Park Chan-ho and Socrates. However, Park Chan-ho's batting average is good, but his on-base percentage has fallen, so he is currently down to No. 9.
In the top of the ninth inning, Park Chan-ho was a top hitter and changed the atmosphere by emitting a double against the opponent's closer Yoo Young-chan. Choi Won-jun's hit scored his team's first run. Choi Hyung-woo's timely hit made it 2-2 and the game flowed into extra time. In the top of the 10th inning, Park Chan-ho had a chance to come from behind with one out and runners on first and third bases. Park Chan-ho, who calmly picked out two balls, lightly hit the slider at the third pitch and hit a sacrifice fly to center field to make the game 3-2 come from behind. KIA then added two more points with Choi Won-joon's timely hit and error, resulting in a 5-2 reversal. 1 hit, 1 RBI, and 1 run in 3 at-bats.
Park Chan-ho said, `I thought it wouldn't be easy when the gap was two points, but I was the first hitter. I thought something would happen if I got on base"I focused on getting on base as much as I could, and a real pitch came in and made it a good hit."He explained the situation of a two-base hit in the top of the ninth inning.

Even though he is batting .34 as of the 10th, he doesn't care about playing as the ninth hitter. Park Chan-ho said, `There are so many good hitters that I think I'm getting shabby even though I'm hitting 30%"He's the ninth hitter, so he's more focused on defense. I think of the attack as a bonus."
When asked about the Golden Glove, he said "There's no time to care" Park Chan-ho said, `I think it's not easy to meet a team mate who has won the championship in the meantime when his career is 20 years at the most"I don't want to miss this chance. Also, because it's a chance that doesn't know when it will come and you don't know when you'll meet such a colleague, I only think about winning now. I play every day thinking about winning the championship."
