This month several South Korean MLB players have been making the news for their achievements. For example, last month Ryu Hyung-jin became the second Korean player to receive the NL pitcher of the month award. Yesterday, another Korean MLB player made the news. This time, Ranger’s Choo Shin-soo Hits His 200th Homerun.
For Korean baseball betting fans, this is big news. This is because he is the first Asian player to reach the 200 homeruns in the MLB. In addition, several gamblers made a lot of money betting on that game with their baseball betting prediction. Thus, they are very happy with Choo achieving this baseball milestone.
Choo Shin-soo Hits His 200th Homerun in his 15 year Career
For Choo Shin-soo, yesterday’s homerun became his eleventh homer of the 2019 MLB season. In addition, he is now in the South Korean record book with 200 homeruns in his 15-year professional career.
Choo went 2-for-5 with two RBIs and two runs scored, as the Rangers went on a 12-11 slugfest. Furthermore, last May Choo became the Asian home run leader in the big league with 176 homeruns. Thus, he actually beat the previous record holder, Hideki Matsui, a former outfielder for the New York Yankees
Of course, baseball fans know that Matsui stopped playing a long time ago. The only other rival for the Asian homerun record was Ichiro Suzuki who gave up after 117 homers.
Choo, who made his major alliance debut with the Seattle Mariners in 2005, has had six 20-homer seasons. In addition, three of them came in the course of the last four seasons in a Rangers uniform. His vocation high for a season is 22, set in 2010 with the Cleveland Indians and coordinated in 2015 and 2017.
At 11 homers in 55 amusements this year, Choo is poised to achieve the 20-homer imprint once more.
