Is it the winning premium or the shortstop's 10 home runs...Park Chan-ho, Park Sung-han 'All-time great'Google War Announced

There's still a long way to go before the Golden Glove Awards, but it's already too hot. There is even a war of nerves outside the stadium. It is about shortstop Park Chan-ho (KIA) Park Sung-han (SSG).
This year's Golden Glove Awards will be held on the 13th of next month. However, who should win the shortstop prize, there is already a great argument.
Both of them did well. So it's on fire. It's hard to distinguish superiority. Park had a batting average of 370, five homers, 61 RBIs and 20 steals in 134 games. Park Sung-han batted .31 with 10 homers, 67 RBIs and 13 steals in 137 games. The defense is the same with 23 errors.
Park Chan-ho is slightly ahead of him in batting average. But Park Sung-han doubled the number of home runs. Park Sung-han won the RBI, and Park Chan-ho won the stolen base. Park Sung-han is also higher in OPS, an important indicator of batters.
It's hard to tell the difference in personal performance. So where should we put the standard and vote.
Those who support Park Chan-ho can say 'Winning Premium'. Of course, Golden Glove is based on regular season performance and is a vote based on individual performance. However, if the performance is similar, the votes tend to lean toward a better team performance. It is said that the contribution that cannot be measured must be recognized. Park Chan-ho played well as a top hitter and shortstop and became the main player in the integrated victory of the regular season and the Korean Series.
Park Sung-han can emphasize the symbolism of 10 home runs. It is not easy to produce big guns because it is a shortstop position that consumes a lot of physical strength in defense and has to be faster than anyone else. It can be argued that hitting a double-digit home run as a shortstop should simply be worth more than five differences. In addition, Park Sung-han's good performance as a member of the Premier 12 national team can be an additional point. Of course, the national game has nothing to do with the KBO League performance, but if you do, you can say that the premium for winning the Korean Series should be excluded.
Who will be the last winner. It's so unpredictable. It seems highly likely that there will be a super-contest of 'all-time'. Voting is about to begin.
