"I'm going to wait for the first time. "

The Doosan Bears are second after the LG Twins (126), with 120 stolen bases until the 13th. About 64.2% of them came from the feet of two players, Cho Soo-haeng (31) and Jung Soo-bin (34).

Cho is the top stealer as of the 13th with 42 stolen bases. Jung Soo-bin has 35, ranking third in stolen bases after Hwang Sung-bin (36, Lotte). In other words, the two of them worked together to steal 77 bases. He is sixth in team stolen bases, outnumbering Lotte Giants (72 steals), NC Dinos (68 steals), Hanwha Eagles (48 steals), KT Wiz (42 steals) and Kiwoom Heroes (35 steals).

The double stolen bases of first baseman Jung Soo-bin and second baseman Cho Ha-sung, who came out in the eighth inning of the game on the 13th, are a representative scene of their foot baseball performance this year. Heo Kyung-min's hit later led both to score and lead the team to victory.

Cho has made a name for himself since college. With 92 stolen bases in four years, Doosan selected Cho Soo-haeng, who has a clear advantage, as the second first round in the 2016 rookie draft. Although he has been somewhat disappointed in hitting, he has begun to show his strengths by reliably raising the on-base percentage this season.

Jung Soo-bin has shown extraordinary focus and sense, succeeding in stealing double digits since his first year as a member. He stole 39 bases last year and won the title of steal king for the first time since his debut. This season, he has succeeded in stealing at a steeper pace and is looking at his first 40 steals.

There was also consideration between the two in running together this season. Cho cited Jung Soo-bin as the secret to the rise in steal pace this season. This season, Cho usually plays as the ninth hitter, and Jung Soo-bin often plays as the first hitter. When Cho gets on base, Jung Soo-bin often enters the batter's box. Jung Soo-bin watched the ball according to the count at the batter's box, creating a room for Cho to try to steal. The opposite is true.

Cho Soo-haeng is also attributed to Soo-bin. Usually, when I go out as the ninth hitter, Subin often comes out as the first hitter, but he made the timing good while waiting for the ball to steal."

Jung Soo-bin "I know the mind of the stealer, so I try to wait when it's not a really important situation. I think it's better for the team and I to go to second base than for the runner to be at first base. Rather than waiting recklessly, depending on the situation, there are times when a good ball comes, but in some cases, I try to wait if (Joe) is at first base."

The two will continue to steal in the second half of the year. Cho is on his first steal king's pace. "There are many seasons left. I will do my best until the end of the season without getting hurt" he said. Jung Soo-bin said "As the second half is a match, I will make sure to show better performance than the first half in hitting as well as stealing." he said.
