Son Ah-seop, Career Hits Leader in South Korean Baseball, Sent to Minors
Veteran slugger struggling with 2-for-29 slump since trade to Doosan Bears
En resumen
- Son Ah-seop, the all-time career hits leader in South Korean baseball with 2,622 hits, has been demoted to the minors by the Doosan Bears just two weeks after being traded from the Hanwha Eagles.
- The 42-year-old veteran is batting only 2-for-29 with seven strikeouts in nine games since the trade, and Bears manager Kim Won-hyong said the demotion is to help Son regain his rhythm.
- Son homered in his Bears debut on April 14 but has struggled mightily since, likely opening the door for Lions designated hitter Choi Hyoung-woo (2,614 hits) to surpass him.
