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.

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."

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.
