In the moment of victory, the 26-year-old shortstop's presence shone without fail.
SSG Landers won the first game of the Weekday Series against the Lotte Giants 7-4 at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 9th.
It marked the beginning of the second half with a victory in 'Distribution Derby'.
At the start of the first inning, SSG scored the first run with Jihoon Choi's leadoff home run. After Choi Jeong's double, Park Sung-han's RBI double and Kim Min-sik's timely hit spread to 3-0.
In the top of the third inning, Lotte Jeon Joon-woo allowed a two-run shot to chase, but Park Sung-han's timely hit again widened the gap by two points.
He allowed a 4-4 tie in the top of the eighth inning due to his error and wild pitch, but Park Sung-han's base run, which dug into the opponent's decisive error in the bottom of the eighth inning, scored the winning run.

The swing was light and sharp on this day. It was short, but the All-Star break was a good break.
Is Park Sung-han's personal judgment the last base. Park Sung-han checked that the ball was missing when he arrived at second base and ran to third base. After that, I sprinted at the coach's judgment. I ran hard without thinking about it more because you turned it around. I was worried that I couldn't get out of my feet because the ground was tough", he explained.
It was tied due to bad luck in the previous situation, but leadoff hitter Park Sung-han's contribution eventually led to victory. Park Sung-han "I tried not to rush because I was the first hitter. It means a lot to have a good start. I hope the next game continues to be good," he smiled.

It was 298 percent in 2022 and a little sluggish last year, but it has risen back to around 30% this year. He already has 40 RBIs. He seems to be enjoying a career-high performance. But Park Sung-han "Honestly, I think it was quite nutritiousHe stressed that he would focus on the game in front of him rather than being conscious of the Golden Glove, which is .300 now.
The possibility of meeting Shirakawa as an enemy increased. Park Sung-han "I hope you show good performance in the bird's nest. It sounds like fun.," he said with a smile.
